Top 3 Most Common Summer Plumbing Problems

You probably know of plumbing problems associated with winter, such as frozen pipes. However, there are also plumbing problems that can sprout during summer. The water consumption in your household increases significantly during summer. The increase in usage contributes to the rise of plumbing problems around these months.

In this post, Handyman Connection® of Winter Park shares some of the most common summer plumbing problems that you may encounter at one point or another.

1. Sewer Line Backup

Sewers can back up when an afternoon thunderstorm saturates the ground with rain. This is why it’s important to have your sewers inspected and serviced before summer. Another preventative solution is to install drain plugs in each drain to prevent water from backing up in the instance of a summer storm.

2. Sprinkler Problems

Sprinkler heads that come with automatic sprinklers eventually get damaged over time. You don’t want them acting up during summer when your garden needs watering the most. Before summer starts, have a handyman check your sprinklers and replace any damaged components. Aside from making sure that they are working fine when you need them to work, repairs and replacements also prevent water wastage.

3. Waste Disposal Obstructions

With all of the family members at home almost every day, the waste or garbage disposal is used more. As you enjoy summer parties and barbecues with family and friends, you’ll definitely have more food waste to feed to the garbage disposal.

If your garbage disposal gets clogged and cleaning it with vinegar doesn’t do the trick, call a handyman for a safe and sanitary clog removal. It will also help to remind everyone what kind of waste they shouldn’t throw down the disposal.
