Prevent Costly Plumbing Repairs This Summer

Estimated Read Time: 3 minutes

Summer is here, bringing long, warm days and, unfortunately, the potential for costly plumbing issues. Many homeowners in the Dallas-Fort Worth area are familiar with the headaches that unexpected plumbing problems can cause. This season, take proactive steps to keep your plumbing in top shape and avoid unnecessary repairs. At Milestone Electric, A/C, & Plumbing, we are committed to providing excellent service and advice on preventing major plumbing issues before they start.

Understanding Plumbing Risks in Summer

The summer heat can put additional stress on your plumbing system. Increased water usage, combined with outdoor activities and sometimes extreme weather, can exacerbate existing issues or create new ones. Here are some common summer challenges:

  • Increased Water Usage: With more people at home, water usage spikes, which can stress pipes and drains.
  • Tree Root Intrusion: Tree roots search for water, and your plumbing can provide an irresistible source.
  • Storms: Heavy rains can overload drainage systems and lead to backups.

One of our customers, Diane J., highlighted the importance of recognizing minor issues before they escalate. She mentioned how our technician, Francisco, quickly addressed her blocked kitchen sink with a simple fix rather than suggesting unnecessary and costly repairs[3].

Essential Preventive Measures

To safeguard against these potential headaches, regular maintenance is essential. Here are some steps you can take to prevent costly repairs:

Regular Inspections

  • Check for Leaks: Inspect your home for any signs of leaks. Even minor leaks can lead to significant water damage and increased bills if left unchecked[2].
  • Evaluate Water Pressure: Inconsistent pressure may point to hidden blockages or other issues. Checking regularly can help ensure your system's efficiency[2].

Drain Maintenance

  • Frequent Cleanings: Regular drain cleaning can prevent clogs that lead to larger issues. Using drain covers and avoiding pouring grease and food particles can keep your drains clear[1].

Water Heater Maintenance

  • Annual Check-Ups: Regular inspections of your water heater ensure it runs efficiently and lasts longer. Flushing the tank and checking for leaks can prevent potential issues[1].
