🔹 1. Check Outdoor Faucets & Irrigation Lines
Summer is prime time for lawn watering, filling pools, and using outdoor showers. Before usage ramps up, inspect outdoor faucets and irrigation systems for leaks or weak water pressure. Even small drips can waste thousands of gallons of water over the season — and drive up your bill!
Pro tip: Turn off irrigation systems before summer storms to avoid flooding and pipe stress.
💧 2. Watch for Excessive Water Use
With guests, kids home from school, and guests in and out of the shower, your home’s water use naturally goes up in summer. Keep an eye on your water usage and bills — sudden spikes may signal hidden leaks or running toilets.
If your bill seems unusually high, call the pros to inspect your system before the issue worsens.
🚿 3. Inspect Showerheads & Drains
Summer showers after pool days and beach trips are part of the fun — but buildup from sand, sunscreen, and minerals can clog showerheads and drains. A quick cleaning or professional drain service helps maintain smooth water flow and prevents slow drains or backups.
🚰 4. Test Water Pressure
High water pressure might feel great, but it puts extra strain on pipes and fixtures, especially during peak summer usage. Low pressure, on the other hand, could signal clogs or hidden leaks.
Our expert plumbers can test and adjust your pressure for optimal performance and long‑lasting fixtures.
❄️ 5. Know Your Main Shut‑Off Valve
Vacation season means leaving your home unattended for days or weeks. Ensure you know how to turn off your main water shut‑off valve so you can stop any potential leaks before they cause major damage while you’re away.
If you’re unsure where the shut‑off valve is or whether it’s functioning properly, we can inspect it for you.
