In the summertime, your plumbing system will experience use that is different from the norm. While these are not major changes, it could be good to make sure the changes in behavior doesn’t have a detrimental effect on your plumbing.
What changes are we talking about? Well, if you have children, having them home from school is going to result in increased usage of water. This means increased stress on your hot water tank, your septic tank and your plumbing system in general.
If you go away for vacation on the other hand, there might be long periods of time with no usage at all.
When away for an extended period of time, it is wise to save money by turning of your water-heater, since it will keep heating up the water even though no one is using it.
Another consideration that you should take in the summertime is to check your sprinkler system if you have one.You want to make sure there are no leaks, since this could cause damage if it is leaking in a sensitive location, as well as costing you money.
