At Marvel Sewer & Drain, we’ll be standing by all summer long to respond quickly to drain issues and plumbing problems.
Summer Drain Issues Many Homeowners Face
One of the best ways to protect your home from summer plumbing problems is to know what to look out for. If you detect any of the early warning signs of these problems, our sewer repair specialists can quickly fix them so you can enjoy the rest of the season.
Clogged Drains & Leaky Faucets
Mild clogs and leaks are common year-round but can pop up more frequently during the summer because of weather shifts and high temperatures. You might even get more frequent clogs in your kitchen sink from cleaning up after backyard barbecues or more shower clogs from having more guests during the summer. Our team can help break up clogs in your sinks, showers, and garbage disposal and clean out your drain lines to stop future clogs early.
Clogged Toilets
Clogged toilets can come from many causes, including flushing debris like toys down the toilet or a clog building up deep within the pipes or the main drain line. Our sewer repair specialists can resolve clogs and scope your home’s plumbing lines to check for problems.
Washing Machine Problems
As the summer heats up, you’ll likely find yourself running more loads of laundry. This can lead to much more soap and detergent buildup in the drain lines, along with lint, dirt, and debris. Sweat, summer sports leagues, and more synthetic fabrics can also lead to washing machine issues in the drain or the machine itself.
Broken or Clogged Sewer Line
Clogged and broken sewer lines are also more common in the summer, especially in older homes. Trees that are desperate for water can start to push their roots into the seams of your property’s drain lines, where they’ll find moisture and nutrients that parched soil just doesn’t have. Over time, those tree roots can crack and rip open the pipes, clog them, and even grow deeper into the drains. Professional sewer repair specialists can stop the damage in its tracks and repair or replace the damaged sewer lines.
