🏠 How Summer Affects Your Alsip Plumbing System
We’re not just soaking up the sun — your home’s plumbing works differently based on seasonal conditions. Here are a few things to be aware of as a homeowner:
Hydration, Heat, and Hose Bibs
- Exterior hose bibs can become loose or start leaking under summer pressure.
- Keep an eye on your outdoor spigots — excess dripping? Call us!
- Avoid draining your indoor plumbing by over-using hoses during lawn watering.
Guest Overload
- Summer means guests (and lots of flushing). Avoid clogged toilets by using quality toilet paper and ensuring your guests know what NOT to flush.
- Consider a quick check and cleaning of your main sewer line if it’s been a while.
Washer & Dishwasher Stress
- More laundry = more washer strain.
- Run your appliances during off-peak hours to give your pipes (and the town’s water pressure) a break.
