Seasonal changes affect the way you use water at home. During summer, your children are staying for vacation, you may be hosting barbecue parties, and much more. As you depend more on your plumbing system, so are the chances of leaks, clogs, and other problems showing up.
That said, make sure you get ahead of any issues so you can enjoy all the fun that summer has to offer. Seek a plumber in Colorado Springs, CO from BullsEye Plumbing Heating & Air immediately once you spot any of the red flags below.
1. Blocked Toilet
If your family is all at home for the summer, expect more trips to the bathroom. It’s easy for your toilet to get clogged, especially with the extra wear and tear on flappers, handles, and chains. Your kids might also use too much toilet paper and flush unwanted objects like wipes and q-tips. If your toilet refuses to flush and your plunger doesn’t solve the issue, enlist plumbing services right away.
2. Clogged Disposals
If you’re having cookouts soon, you need to be more mindful when using your garbage disposal. Grease, as well as fibrous and starchy foods, can easily damage your disposal and cause a clog. Throw them in your trash bin instead, and be sure that only small food bits go down the disposal.
Also, don’t put high-volume leftovers down the disposal. Should you find yourself with clogged disposal, contact your trusted plumbing company to resolve the problem.
3. Sewage Backup
Heavy rainfalls in summer can seep into your sewer lines through cracks and bring in soil and sediment. This can easily result in sewage backup, especially if your pipes have an existing blockage caused by tree roots. When this happens, seek emergency plumbing services immediately to avoid further damage.
4. Sprinkler Issues
Sprinklers are prone to issues in summer because of the increased foot traffic on your lawn. Before using them, inspect the sprinkler head for clogs, as well as the hose for leaks. If you’re mowing the lawn, be careful not to hit the heads to avoid damage.
Be on the lookout for these common issues in summer, and you’re sure to avoid costly plumbing repairs. For all things plumbing, trust the experts at BullsEye Plumbing Heating & Air. Contact us to learn more about our services or to schedule an appointment.
