The Seasonal Ebb and Flow of Plumbing Issues
At S.W.A.T. Plumbing LLC, we understand that each season brings its own unique set of challenges for homeowners. As the weather changes, so do the demands on your plumbing system. Let’s explore how seasonal variations affect your pipes and what you can do to stay ahead of potential problems.
Spring: The Thaw and Renewal
As winter’s icy grip loosens, spring brings:
- Potential pipe bursts from frozen pipes thawing
- Increased rainfall leading to sump pump activity
- Root intrusion in sewer lines as plants awaken
Summer: Heat and High Usage
The dog days of summer can strain your plumbing:
- Increased water consumption for lawns and gardens
- Air conditioner condensation line maintenance
- Higher risk of clogs from outdoor activities
Fall: Preparation for Winter
Autumn is the time to get ready for colder months:
- Clearing gutters to prevent ice dams
- Insulating pipes in unheated areas
- Scheduling a furnace check-up
Winter: Freeze Protection
The coldest season demands vigilance:
- Preventing frozen pipes
- Addressing holiday-related plumbing emergencies
- Maintaining water heaters under increased strain
