When the warm weather comes, your plumbing can be working overtime. That’s why many plumbing services are called out during the warmer weather. Below are two common reasons that plumbing services are often called out during the summertime.

Clogged Toilets

Since a lot more people are home during the summer because of school being out, there will be more people who are using the toilet. Those additional flushes are going to increase the wear on the chains, handles, and flappers, which means that you may need plumbing repairs. It’s also best to make sure that you tell guests and kids not to flush anything down the toilet other than toilet paper and human waste.

Issues with Sprinklers

If you have an inground sprinkler system, they are going to be very vulnerable during the summer. Since there is more foot traffic on the lawn, it can cause a threat to the sprinkler heads. Putting a foot down wrong can crack a sprinkler head and lead to a leak. It’s often hard to detect when your sprinkler is leaking because the sprinkler sprays water anyway. But you’re going to notice when you have a higher water bill. It’s best to watch your sprinklers and keep an eye on the water bill.

These are two common problems that happen in the summer that may need to be addressed by professional plumbing services. Now that you are aware of them, you know what to watch for, and you may even be able to avoid the problems. Otherwise, you may find that you have an expensive problem on your hands.
