Prevent Plumbing Issues Caused by Summer Water Usage During summer, water usage increases with frequent showers, outdoor activities, and lawn irrigation. Plumbing systems that are not in good condition may struggle to handle the extra demand. Common issues include slow drains, water pressure fluctuations, and unexpected leaks. If pipes, faucets, or outdoor hoses show signs of wear, they may need repairs to prevent costly water damage. Sewer lines can also experience more stress, leading to backups if blockages are present. Inspecting the plumbing system helps identify small issues before they turn into major repairs. Our professionals check for leaks, test water pressure, and assess drain function to ensure everything is working properly. Cleaning drains and checking outdoor plumbing connections can also help prevent clogs and water waste. If your home’s plumbing system hasn’t been inspected recently, schedule an appointment with ARS / Rescue Rooter to keep everything running smoothly.

Prevent AC Breakdowns During Peak Summer As temperatures rise, air conditioners work harder to maintain a comfortable indoor environment. Without regular maintenance, dust and debris can clog air filters and coils, forcing the system to use more energy and wear down faster. Signs of potential issues include weak airflow, warm air coming from vents, and unusual noises during operation. Low refrigerant levels or a failing compressor can cause the system to struggle, leading to higher energy costs and possible breakdowns. Addressing these issues early can help prevent unexpected failures when cooling is needed the most. Routine maintenance keeps the system operating efficiently by ensuring proper airflow, checking refrigerant levels, and inspecting electrical components. A clean system improves cooling performance, extends the lifespan of the unit, and helps maintain indoor air quality. If your air conditioner hasn’t been serviced this year, scheduling a tune-up now can help prevent costly repairs later. Contact ARS / Rescue Rooter to schedule professional AC maintenance today.

How Increased Water Usage Affects Your Plumbing System As temperatures rise, many households use more water for activities like watering gardens, filling pools, and using outdoor faucets. This increased demand puts extra strain on plumbing systems, especially older pipes or fixtures that may already have wear and tear. Hidden leaks, weak water pressure, and slow drains are common issues that worsen when water usage spikes. Small leaks can waste significant amounts of water over time, leading to higher bills and potential water damage. Outdoor plumbing, including hose bibs and irrigation systems, should be checked for cracks or leaks after months of limited use. Mineral buildup inside pipes can also restrict water flow, affecting performance. Regular plumbing inspections help identify these concerns early, allowing homeowners to address them before they become costly problems. Checking for leaks, maintaining proper water pressure, and ensuring outdoor connections are secure can improve system efficiency and prevent unexpected failures as the weather warms up. Schedule a plumbing inspection with ARS / Rescue Rooter to ensure your system is ready for increased water use.
