However, you do need to take care of your plumbing during the hot weather too. It’s a well-known fact that the cold winter weather can damage your pipes, but did you know the heat can too?
External Plumbing Issues in the UK
Whilst the majority of your plumbing system is inside your home and safely away from the exposure of the sun, you probably have a few external plumbing systems outside, which need your attention this summer.
Having your gutters cleared and repaired as well as having any external drainage suitably unblocked, will prevent smells and blockages building up in the summer months. Our team of plumbers in Cheshire are able to help do this for you in a safe, professional manner.
Your Pipes Can Suffer from too much UV too!
Whilst many of us think we can soldier on through the sunshine without any sun cream on, at some point, we admit defeat and take refuge indoors to cool down. Unfortunately, your drains and pipes outside don’t have this luxury, and can often crack, burst and shatter when exposed to too much UV, especially if they’re made of plastic.
If you’ve experienced damaged pipes and drains, our Cheshire based plumbers are on hand to help make sure they are all fixed for you as quickly as possible.
Thunderbolts and Lightning
During the summer months it doesn’t seem right to think about thunderstorms, but more often than not, they are exactly what follows a bout of good weather.
Whilst you’d have to be very unlucky to have your home struck by lightning, the unrelenting wind and rain that accompanies a storm can mean big issues for your plumbing. From overflowing drains to shattered pipes and leaking plumbing systems, the bad weather can really disrupt your systems.
To help avoid this, we recommend one of our professional plumbers to come round to your home and check that all of your plumbing is as it should be. This way, you can relax in the summer sun, safe in the knowledge that your home’s plumbing is all working perfectly.
