Plumbing Tips for a Worry-Free Summer
Summer is finally here! While we all love soaking up the sunshine and cooling off from time to time, the summer season also brings its own set of plumbing challenges. At Thompson Works Plumbing & Heating, we want to help you enjoy a worry-free summer by staying ahead of common plumbing issues before they become costly problems.
Here are 5 simple plumbing tips to check around your home this summer:
Inspect outdoor hose bibs for leaks or drips
Your outdoor faucets take a beating through the seasons. Even a small drip can waste a surprising amount of water and cause damage over time.Clear slow drains before they back up
Summer gatherings mean more use of sinks and showers. Slow drains can quickly turn into clogs, so keep an eye on any drains that aren’t flowing smoothly.Check under sinks for signs of moisture or mold
Leaks can hide where you least expect them. Moisture or mold under sinks is an early warning sign to get things fixed quickly.Test your sump pump before heavy rain
If you have a sump pump, summer storms are the perfect reminder to make sure it’s working properly. A malfunctioning sump pump can lead to flooding and water damage.Know where your water shutoff valve is
In case of an emergency, knowing how to quickly turn off your water supply can save you from serious damage and expensive repairs.
If you notice anything concerning or just want peace of mind, we’re here to help. Give us a call anytime — estimates are always free, and no job is too big or small.
Stay cool and enjoy your summer!
