Don’t Let Summer Heat Cause Plumbing Headaches – Call Us Today

With higher usage of hot water for activities like showers, water heaters can experience more strain, potentially leading to failures or the need for maintenance.

The intense heat can cause outdoor faucets, hoses, and irrigation systems to dry out and crack, leading to leaks.

The extreme temperature changes can cause older or improperly insulated pipes to burst, especially if they are exposed to the sun or not buried deeply enough.

 Increased water usage during the summer can put additional stress on sewer lines, sometimes leading to backups if the lines are old or damaged. 

With more outdoor activities, there's an increased likelihood of dirt, sand, and other debris being washed down drains, leading to clogs.

The constant use of air conditioning can cause condensation lines to clog, potentially leading to water damage if not properly maintained.

Many Tucson homes use evaporative coolers (swamp coolers), which rely on water. These can develop leaks or other issues that require plumbing expertise.

To address these issues, regular maintenance and timely repairs are essential. Homeowners in Tucson should consider scheduling seasonal plumbing check-ups to ensure everything is in good working order and to prevent problems from becoming major issues.
