Common Summer Plumbing Issues in Central Oklahoma and How To Address Them

post img

As the summer heat intensifies in Oklahoma City, homeowners often find themselves dealing with a variety of plumbing issues that can disrupt their daily routines. The combination of high temperatures and increased water usage can lead to several common plumbing problems. Understanding these issues and knowing how to address them can save you time, money, and stress. At Air Comfort Solutions, we are committed to providing top-notch plumbing services to ensure your home remains comfortable and functional throughout the summer months.

1. Clogged Drains

One of the most frequent plumbing problems during the summer is clogged drains. With more people at home, especially children on summer break, the increased use of sinks, showers, and toilets can lead to blockages. Hair, soap scum, and food particles are common culprits.

How to Address It:

  • Preventive Measures: Use drain covers to catch hair and food particles before they enter the pipes.
  • DIY Solutions: For minor clogs, a mixture of baking soda and vinegar followed by hot water can often clear the blockage.
  • Professional Help: If the clog persists, it’s best to call a professional plumber. Air Comfort Solutions offers a $99 Drain Clearing with a Free Camera Inspection to ensure your drains are thoroughly cleaned and inspected for any underlying issues.

2. Leaky Faucets and Pipes

The extreme heat can cause pipes to expand and contract, leading to leaks. Leaky faucets and pipes not only waste water but can also cause significant damage to your home if left unaddressed.

How to Address It:

  • Regular Inspections: Check your faucets and pipes regularly for any signs of leaks.
  • Immediate Repairs: Tighten any loose connections and replace worn-out washers.
  • Professional Services: For more serious leaks, contact Air Comfort Solutions. Our experienced plumbers can quickly identify and fix leaks, ensuring your plumbing system operates efficiently.

3. Sewer Line Backups

Increased rainfall during the summer can overwhelm sewer lines, leading to backups. This is a serious issue that can cause unpleasant odors and potential health hazards.

How to Address It:

  • Preventive Maintenance: Regularly inspect and clean your sewer lines to prevent blockages.
  • Proper Disposal: Avoid flushing non-biodegradable items down the toilet and dispose of grease and oil properly.
  • Professional Assistance: If you experience a sewer line backup, it’s crucial to get professional help immediately. Air Comfort Solutions provides comprehensive sewer line services to address and prevent backups.

4. Water Heater Issues

With the increased demand for hot water during the summer, your water heater may struggle to keep up, leading to inconsistent water temperatures or complete failure.

How to Address It:

  • Regular Maintenance: Flush your water heater annually to remove sediment buildup.
  • Temperature Settings: Ensure your water heater is set to the recommended temperature to avoid overworking the system.
  • Professional Inspection: If you notice any issues with your water heater, contact Air Comfort Solutions. Our skilled technicians can perform a thorough inspection and necessary repairs to keep your water heater running smoothly.

5. Sprinkler System Problems

Summer is the peak season for using sprinkler systems to keep your lawn green and healthy. However, issues such as broken sprinkler heads, leaks, and uneven water distribution can arise.

How to Address It:

  • Regular Checks: Inspect your sprinkler system regularly for any signs of damage or leaks.
  • Proper Adjustments: Adjust the sprinkler heads to ensure even water distribution.
  • Professional Services: For more complex issues, rely on Air Comfort Solutions. Our team can diagnose and repair any problems with your sprinkler system, ensuring your lawn stays lush and green.
