Keeping the plumbing in your home in good shape may take a little bit of extra work. The summer months can be hard on your plumbing for a variety of reasons. Knowing some of the most common summer issues is sure to be helpful to you when you need to make repairs.
Clogged Toilets
It’s likely that your home will be much more crowded during the summer months because of your kid being out of school for the summer. This means more use of your bathroom and toilet, and this can quickly translate into a clogged toilet area.
Be sure to talk to your kids about using less toilet paper when flushing to prevent this problem from occurring frequently.
Sewer Line Backups
The summer months is the time when there are sure to be more heavy rainfalls and thunderstorms. Excessive rainfall could cause problems with your sewer and even create a sewer line backup issue that will need to be addressed by a professional.
Washing Machine Maintenance
You may be washing a lot more clothes in the summer because of kids being out of school and more active. This can take a toll on your washing machine, so be sure to practice some maintenance tips to help it last longer and avoid problems at the same time.
