Drain Maintenance Tips for the Summer

You may slow down and take some time to relax this summer, but your drains don’t take a break! The bright spot here is that a plumber from BullsEye Plumbing Heating & Air is also always on the job when you need professional assistance with your drains. Continue reading for some tips on what you can do to maintain your drains for the summer.

Use Drain Strainers

While a clogged drain is a common problem in every home, it occurs more often during summer when you tend to do more outdoor activities. Using strainers will prepare your drains for the extra usage that can happen during the hot months. Pay close attention to drains in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms, or any drains you may have outside in your yard or by your pool.

Use Vinegar or Baking Soda on Your Drains

A type of drain cleaning you can do yourself between professional cleaning involves hot water and vinegar or baking soda. You can pour this mixture into your drains periodically during the summer months. Doing so minimizes clogs and drain odors, which can be more noticeable when it’s warmer.

Check for Signs of a Leak

Before we recommend drain cleaning services, we perform a camera inspection to check for structural issues that could be causing a leak. You can also check for your leaks yourself that could affect your drains in the summer by looking for any of the following signs:

  • Pooled water around where your drains are located
  • Soggy spots on your lawn above where you have drain or sewer lines
  • Odd drain odors
