Summer in Central Texas and San Diego can bring more than just heat — it can also put stress on your home’s plumbing system. At Jessi’s Plumbers, we help homeowners prepare their pipes, drains, and water heaters for the season ahead. Here are a few important steps:
🔍 Inspect outdoor fixtures: Hose bibs, sprinkler systems, and irrigation valves should be checked for leaks or cracks caused by changes in temperature.
🚿 Flush your water heater: Over time, sediment builds up at the bottom of the tank, reducing efficiency and potentially damaging the unit. A flush ensures better performance and longevity.
🧱 Check for pipe expansion: Intense heat can cause pipes to expand and crack, especially those exposed to outdoor conditions or in attic spaces. Look for early signs of swelling, damp spots, or corrosion.
🌀 Clean your drains: Warm weather and increased usage (especially if you have guests or kids home for the summer) can make clogs more likely. A professional cleaning removes buildup before it causes a problem.
🛠️ Prevention is the best strategy to avoid costly repairs later. Call us at (512) 557-9637 to book your seasonal inspection and keep your summer stress-free!
