How to Prevent Summer Plumbing Problems

Between washing clothes, hosting BBQs, and watering our lawns, we tend to use more water during the warmer months.  These plumbing tips will help you prevent problems this summer!

Prevention Tips:

• Be Careful with Your Disposal - Watch what you are putting down your garbage disposal this summer.  Many summer BBQ foods like corn husks, macaroni salad, and other fibrous foods can clog your disposal.
• Watch What You Flush - If you are having guests over for the 4th of July, remind them to be mindful of what they flush down the toilet!  Another other than waste and toilet paper can clog your drain line.
• Check Your Sprinklers - Check your lawn sprinklers to make sure that they are working correctly.  After the long winter that we had, they might have undergone some damage.
