Mid-Summer Plumbing Maintenance: What to Check Before It’s Too Late

July in Middle Tennessee means high temps, summer guests, and plenty of extra water usage—from running the sprinkler for the kids to hosting back-to-back backyard BBQs. But all that added demand can quietly wear down your plumbing system. Without regular maintenance, small issues can snowball into major (and expensive) repairs.

At Twenty-Four Hour Plumbing LLC, we’re here to help you stay ahead of the drip with these essential mid-summer plumbing checks.

✅ 1. Inspect Your Outdoor Hose Bibs

Your outdoor faucets work overtime in the summer. Check for leaks, drips, or pooling water around the base—these can be signs of internal cracks or worn washers. A leaking hose bib can waste hundreds of gallons a month if left unaddressed.

🔥 2. Test Your Water Heater’s Efficiency

With more showers, laundry, and dishwashing, your water heater sees increased use in July. If it’s over 10 years old or making strange noises, it may be time for a professional inspection. Flushing sediment buildup can improve performance and extend its life.

🌧️ 3. Prep for Summer Storms: Drainage Matters

Sudden summer downpours can stress your sump pump and outdoor drainage systems. Make sure gutters are clear, downspouts are draining away from your home, and your sump pump is working properly. A quick check now could save you from a flooded basement later.

🚽 4. Watch for Silent Leaks

Toilets that run constantly, faucets that drip, and water spots near sinks or appliances can all point to small leaks that drive up your water bill. Don’t ignore them—early detection is key to avoiding structural damage.
