Summer Plumbing Maintenance Tips
Back to school isn’t just for the kids—your plumbing needs a little tune-up too.The end of summer is the perfect time to give your pipes, drains, and fixtures some attention before fall schedules get busy and cooler weather moves in. A little maintenance now can save you from costly emergencies later.
Check for Signs of Pipe Leaks
Taking just a few minutes to inspect plumbing fixtures around the house like under the sink, behind the toilets and around those appliances for any damp spots, rust or mildew is worth the time. A small drip can waste gallons of water and cause hidden damage over time, leading to more money coming out of your pocket.
Flush the Water Heater
Mineral deposits build up (especially in AZ) in your water heater tank over time, making it less efficient and more prone to long-term damage. Flushing your tank at the end of every summer helps keep hot water flowing reliably and can extend your water heaters lifespan.
Test Outdoor Spigots
Months of heavy use for gardening, sprinklers, or summer activities can lead to small leaks or reduced water pressure. Even the smallest leak could spike your water bill and are typically a signal of a bigger issue with underground pipes.
Inspect for Signs of Root Intrusion
Those trees and bushes in your yard are beautiful and greedy. They love the moisture inside of your main sewer line. If you notice slow drains, gurgling toilets, or foul odors, it could mean roots are sneaking in. Addressing it early can save you from a messy and expensive backup.
Clean Out Slow Drains
Don’t wait until a drain is completely clogged. If your sinks or tubs are draining slowly, tackle it as soon as you notice. Clearing minor blockages can prevent damage to pipes and avoid the need for emergency services later. We offer free camera inspections with our drain cleanings per customer request. If you notice you have clogged drains, don’t wait to call our experts here at Oh No Plumbing & AC.
Late summer is ideal for plumbing maintenance to give you time to fix those small problems before the cooler temperatures settle in, holiday gatherings, and increased indoor waste put an extra strain on your system.
