Summer has finally arrived, which means entertaining, festivities, BBQs in the backyard, and enjoyable time with family and friends. However, homeowners have yet another activity to watch out for and that’s summer plumbing problems! We want you to have a relaxed holiday season and that’s why with our summer plumbing tips on a list of plumbing problems and how to fix them, our Adelaide plumbers are trying to help make your weekends a bit more relaxing and enjoyable.

Top plumbing problems in summer:

1. Clogged Toilets: Having guests over or your children home during the summer means the toilets are going to be used more often. This means the likelihood of clogged toilets is going to be high. A clogged toilet or blocked sink is a big hassle and can be quite unpleasant, messy, and plain frustrating. Keep a plunger in the bathroom in case you come across any problems with the plumbing. While some issues are corrected with a change to household habits, others may require you to reach out to a professional plumber to get rid of the real cause of frequent clogs. Your local plumber can help diagnose the source of the problem and provide a permanent solution that ensures your toilet and drains function smoothly.
2. Clogged Drain – Slow Shower Drainage: Slow-running sinks, toilets, showers, and bathtubs indicate your main sewer line has a blockage. This slowness could be affecting multiple fixtures, even though you might be using just one. For example, when you run your dishwasher, the kitchen sink overflows as wastewater backs up. This means you have a clog in the main sewer that needs to be addressed soon. To avoid a flooding from the shower or toilet getting clogged, it is important to regularly clear away any built up hair and dirt from the shower drain.
3. Smelly drains: One of the most common and primary causes of bad-smelling drains is food fragments that are washed down the drain. Any food scraps in your drains will collect and start rotting, this decomposition of food causes nasty smells to come from your kitchen sink. To combat this situation, avoid washing any food scraps down the drain. If all drains of the house are smelling bad, most likely the issue is with your sewer. A blocked sewer can cause bad smells all around your house. If you think your sewer needs a good inspection and cleaning, contact your plumber today.
