Summer fun brings an increased need for water. The process of filling and maintaining your swimming pool, as well as turning on your lawn’s automated sprinklers to keep it green.

Tree roots begin to grow at the beginning of spring to collect water and nutrients when they blossom. However, they could be a threat to the plumbing system, creating cracks that block the circulation of the water. Our experienced plumbers will inspect your house to avoid major blockages, backups, and leaks.
Make Sure Your Pipes Are Insulated.
The scorching summer sun may make you feel comfortable while you sunbathe, but the heat and UV rays can cause havoc to the plumbing in your home. The heat can cause pipes to shrink, which lowers the pressure of water available and can cause leaks if not addressed.
You cannot control the heat of the weather, but it is possible to paint your pipes or even insulate them to safeguard them. Painting the PVC pipes that run outside your home can help reduce heat expansion. The addition of insulation around the pipes will cost a little more. Still, it protects them from extreme weather conditions throughout the year.
