The team here at the Denver Plumbing Solutions will be here to provide Denver-area residents and businesses with the absolute best maintenance services and maintenance service tips to ensure you and your family or businesses plumbing infrastructure stays in tact all summer long.
Be Wary of Seasonal Sprinkler System Leaks
Sprinkler systems are one of the most common systems to malfunction during the summer season. And while faulty equipment and installs can often be the culprit, poor maintenance is all too common a cause as well.
Sprinklers are likely to malfunction for two reasons. Firstly, their constant use subjects them to a lot of wear and tear. The second is that they are in constant risk of impact. Everything from children playing, foot traffic and errant lawnmowers can end up damaging residential and commercial sprinkler systems, resulting in leaks.
Also take the time to make sure that your sprinkler heads are free from dirt and grass clippings. These may restrict your sprinkler head's movement. Clean out the dirt from inside the sprinkler head as well. You can do this by removing the head and flushing it out with water from the tap or hose. At Denver Plumbing Solutions, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing sprinkler leaks to keep your lawn looking great and your sprinkler system functioning properly all summer long.
Proper Toilet Use
Clogged toilets are a normal phenomenon in every household. No matter how hard one tries it is difficult to escape from the clutches of clogged toilets. Cleaning clogged toilets that don’t only cause headaches but could result in major problems down the road. Children should know exactly how much toilet paper they should be using per flush. Too much toilet paper and the improper flushing of feminine hygiene products is one of the leading causes of clogs, so informing residents and customers about the dangers of such products is a good way to stave off troubling clobs.
Monitor Water Supply
During the summer months, it’s important to monitor the water supply coming into your home or business. Monitoring your water supply can inform you if you have your piping replaced due to things like calcium and mineral deposits restricting the flow. While you’re inspecting your water supply, take the time to check exposed pipes for leaks and ensure that your main line cleanout is easily accessible. Denver Plumbing Solutions can run a quick check of your water supply to make sure it’s functioning properly.
Monitor Washer Hoses
Summer usually means more laundry, whether you’re entertaining guests or washing more clothing due to time spent outdoors. Check your washer hoses sure they aren’t leaking, bulging, or cracked, particularly if you have rubber hoses. If you see signs of damage in your washing machine hoses, they should be inspected and replaced. Damaged washer hoses won’t just put a stop to your laundry flow, but could result in water damage from flooding.
Check Your Bathroom Floor for Leaks
Monitor your bathroom floors (and ceilings below floors) for any water stains that are clearly visible or if any part of the floor feels soft, which could indicate rot. Rotting in floors or walls could be indicative of a leaky toilet or malfunctioning water line.
Check Dishwashers and Garbage Disposals
Dishwasher maintenance is a pretty straightforward, yet oft-overlooked process that can often result in plumbing system damage. Ensure that water connections are tight enough and are not leaking. Take the time to make sure that things such as bones, grease, or pits from fruits are not thrown into your garbage disposal.
