During summer, grease, food particles, and even soap residue can build up in your sink over time, causing slow drainage. Hot weather can also harden some substances, worsening the issue. A good solution to try is using a plunger and pouring a mixture of baking soda and vinegar down the drain. If that doesn’t do the trick, call (610) 215-9512 to schedule an expert plumbing repair!
A constantly running toilet is not only annoying, but can also waste a lot of water, especially during peak summer usage. The most common culprits are a worn-out flapper, an improperly adjusted float, or a broken fill valve. Replacing these parts is a relatively simple fix that our team can perform in no-time, and will save you tons of water and money!
Low water pressure during summer usually happens because of higher water demand or sediment buildup in your pipes or showerhead. Cleaning your showerhead and checking for leaks in your pipes should resolve the problem. If the issue persists, you’ll need to bring in an Essig plumber to inspect your system for hidden blockages.
Sediment buildup in your water heater can cause it to make popping, rumbling, or banging noises. Summer is a good time to flush the tank and remove any sediment before it hardens further. If the problem continues, one of our expert plumbers can inspect and fix it for you!
Steps you can take include ensuring your sump pump is clean, the discharge line is free of blockages, and your pump is operational before a storm. Regular pump maintenance, especially before the rainy Reading, PA summer season, can help prevent unnecessary flooding in your basement.
