Common Summer Plumbing Repairs

Even though the summer will soon begin to wind down, as a plumber you’ll still be seeing a lot of summer repair jobs. Whether you are starting a new plumbing business or have worked as a plumber for a number of years, it’s helpful to plan ahead and be prepared. Here are some common repair needs:

• Clogged Disposals – When homeowners start having cookouts, many of them suffer from problematic clogged drains and disposals in the kitchen. Harder fruits and vegetables, such as watermelon rinds and corncobs, often cause these clogs.
• Washing Machine Lines – During the summer, people with kids are using the washer a lot. From outdoor sports and swimming to just plain sweating, a lot of clothes and more are going into the wash. If homeowners aren’t staying vigilant and keeping up with their machine, it can cause huge problems.
• Sewer Line Issues – The summer rains and regular yardwork can cause a lot of problems for sewer lines. As you know, this can cause terrible issues in the bathroom.
