It’s rare for burst pipes to occur in the warmer time of the months. Homeowners tend to have visions of clogs and leaks backing up to a point that their pipes explode, but this is a little over the top. Burst pipes are a possibility, but not due to clogs—it’s due to the water in those pipes freezing.
There are actually a number of plumbing problems that can occur this time of the year, and our professional plumbers are familiar with all of them, and therefore can help correct each one. However, we’d like to give you some info on how they occur so you can watch out for them and maybe even prevent damage to your plumbing in Wilmette, IL.
If you’ve lived in the Wilmette area for even just a year, you might already know the answer to this question. You know how heavy and sometimes unexpected rainstorms can be, and the subsequent flooding from these rainstorms can be very damaging, not to mention a nuisance! The last thing you need is a lake in your front yard, right? Unless you’re into that kind of thing—but we’d really encourage you to reconsider the contents of that lake.
No matter what time of the year it is and no matter what the temperature is outdoors, there is one heating system you’ll always be using within your home—the water heater. It’s easy to take this appliance for granted, and the fact that you’ll get hot water from the taps whenever you need it.
Have you been told that your sewer line needs to be replaced? We get it—this news is enough to make anyone cringe. Traditionally, this service has always been a very intrusive and intense process, involving digging up your whole yard to gain access to your sewer line.
In most cases, homeowners don’t typically schedule drain cleaning services until something apparent happens that necessitates the service, such as a clogged sink drain or bathtub drain that’s causing water to back up. There are many times, however, that issues could warrant a drain cleaning but don’t present themselves very apparently.
