Sewer backup:
Summer storms and heavy rain can cause serious plumbing emergencies. Excessive rain can enter the gutter through the gap and cause the gutter line to return. The growth of new tree roots from springs can also spread underground and brake pipes, leading to major disasters and many floods.
Washing machine maintenance:
Sweating clothes and extra bathing are two things that are synonymous with dog days in summer. Because you will definitely do more laundry from changing clothes or using pool towels, your washing machine will have extra pressure. Ideally, you should only use your machine while at home to be able to intervene if there is a problem. Watch the bulge, leak, or crack the hose! It's also important to keep your washing machine a few inches from the wall so it doesn't overheat.
Clogged Disposal:
You've heard us mention the danger of throwing unnecessary food into your landfill. Chances are you experienced more cooking during this period of the year, so you really need to be careful about how you dispose of your leftovers. Hard fruits and vegetables can blocked drain and damage your bar when it comes down while cooking oil and fat from the grill is a big cause in causing reserves. Be sure to always drain cold water through your disposal after you use it, to clean up the remaining food.
Sprinkler problem:
Summer means greener grass and flower beds that bloom. Many people maintain their land perfectly maintained with a sprinkler system on the ground. Take the time to check your sprinkler head occasionally to make sure there are no leaks or cracks. These leaks will not only increase your water bill, but they can cause more serious plumbing problems on the road. By doing casual inspections of all of these things around your household, you could prevent these most common plumbing problems and save yourself a lot of time, trouble, and money in the future. As always, if a problem seems to arise or something seems too big of a deal, always call an experienced plumber first.
