Summer Plumbing Maintenance Tips
Protect Your Garbage Disposal:
During the summer months, the kitchen’s garbage disposal is sure to see increased activity. As social activities commence, it may be best to throw leftovers out in the trash rather than down your sink. To prevent clogs, do not put stringy foods down the disposal and stay aware that fatty foods can also stick to drainpipes and cause clogs.
Test Your Sprinklers:
By testing your sprinkle heads before use, you are ensuring it still works properly to support your goal of having that fresh, green lawn you’ve been waiting all year for.
Inspect Sewer Line Pipes:
This time of year, backups in your sewer line are extremely common. Storm water, roots and other debris enters sewer pipes through small cracks and creates congestion. The best way to make sure your sewer line pipes are ready for the season is to have them inspected by one of our expert technicians.
Change Washing Machine Hoses:
Ensuring the washing machine is prepared for the extra work by having the hoses inspected for cracks, leaks, or bulging. Keep in mind, a washing machine hoses needs to be changed at least once every three years.
And for Good Measure:
The kids have been stuck inside for a while now and probably have a gist of what can and can’t go down the toilet, but just in case, it’s always good to remind them
