Three Summer Plumbing Problems
1. Expanding Pipes and Low Water Pressure
-Hot summer weather can expand pipes just like the winter. Pressure changes can be caused by leaks, corrosion build-up, and water supply malfunctions.
2. No Cold Water
-With rising temperatures, it’s only normal that water temperatures rise as well. To combat this, let your water run for a bit longer than usual to get the cold results you’re looking for.
3. Shifting Foundations
-Hot weather can actually cause the ground to move. Foundations can shift and the ground can crack. The pipes in the ground may even expand or contract. Heat can also expand the soil that your pipes sit in, in turn shifting the pipes, often causing them to burst.
