Beat the Heat: Top 12 Plumbing Tips for a Stress-Free Summer

Tips For A Stress-Free Summer

Summer in the Mid-South is a time for fun and relaxation, but it can also bring unique plumbing challenges. At Choate’s Air Conditioning, Heating, and Plumbing, we’re here to ensure your summer is worry-free with these essential plumbing tips.

1. Inspect Your Sprinkler System Before the summer heat kicks in, check your sprinkler system for leaks and clogs. A well-maintained system can save water and keep your lawn lush.

2. Check for Leaks Indoors and Outdoors Inspect hoses, faucets, and pipes for any signs of leaks. Fixing small leaks can prevent larger issues and save water during the high-usage summer months.

3. Service Your Water Heater Summer is a great time to have your water heater serviced. Flush the tank to remove sediment and ensure it’s running efficiently for those summer showers.

4. Clean Your Gutters and Downspouts Clear any debris from gutters and downspouts to prevent water damage and ensure proper drainage during summer storms.

5. Maintain Your Sewer Line Summer rain can overwhelm your sewer system. Have a professional inspect and clean your sewer line to avoid backups and overflows.

6. Use Water Wisely Encourage family members to conserve water. Simple steps like taking shorter showers and turning off the tap while brushing teeth can make a big difference.

7. Check Your Washing Machine Hoses Inspect the hoses on your washing machine for any signs of wear and tear. Replace old hoses to prevent unexpected bursts and flooding.

8. Keep an Eye on Your Pool’s Plumbing Regularly check the plumbing around your pool for leaks or issues. Proper maintenance can help avoid costly repairs.

9. Install Water-saving Fixtures Consider installing low-flow showerheads and faucets to reduce water usage without sacrificing performance.

10. Be Mindful of What Goes Down the Drain Avoid putting grease, oil, and large food particles down the drain to prevent clogs. Use a drain strainer to catch debris.

11. Plan for Outdoor Plumbing Projects Summer is a great time for outdoor plumbing projects. Whether it’s installing a new outdoor faucet or updating your irrigation system, plan ahead and consult with a professional.

12. Schedule a Professional Plumbing Inspection Preventive maintenance can save you from unexpected plumbing emergencies. Schedule a professional inspection with Choate’s to ensure your plumbing system is in top shape.
