Top 3 Summer Plumbing Problems

Summer Weather Plumbing Problems

Summer in Chicagoland is one of the most beautiful times of the year, but with warmer weather comes a handful of regular plumbing problems. If you’re experiencing any of the following summer plumbing problems, give Flatley’s Plumbing Express a call!

1. Basement Flooding

Summer rain occurs happen often here in the Chicagoland area, and when they hit, they hit hard. Unexpected downpours can quickly lead to a basement flooding problem. It’s wise to double-check your sump pump before seasonal rains start up to avoid basement flooding. If you’re unsure if your sump pump is working properly, the pros at Flatley’s Plumbing Express are trained to diagnose any unforeseen issues that can be avoided with an inspection.

2. Clogged Drain Disposals

Summertime is ideal for cookouts, barbeques, and fresh fruit! Generally, this means you’re going to be dealing with more leftovers than usual. Clogged drains are more common in the summer months because of excess grease and fibrous fruits can easily clog your disposal and keep it from operating properly. It’s best to check your drain disposal system to ensure everything is being disposed of properly and all is draining well.  

3. Slow-Clearing Shower Drains

With longer days and warmer weather, we tend to spend more time outside, enjoying trips to parks and the lake. Keep in mind that sand, dirt, and pebbles get caught in swimwear and can end up emptying out in your shower drain. To avoid clogged shower drains, it’s always best to keep an eye out for particles and matter to avoid ankle-deep water in your shower.  If you’re experiencing a slow-draining shower drain or the drain is completely backed up, call the experts at Flatley’s Plumbing Express! Our team will identify the problem and quickly find a solution to the plumbing problem.
