Many people look forward to the warm weather of summer and enjoy the time that they have with their families. In a perfect world, the weather would be warm and sunny and there wouldn’t be any problems.
But the truth is that with summer comes dead grass, drought, bugs, heavy storms, mosquitos and bugs that sting and bite and make our lives miserable.
We know that outdoor plumbing can be another problem that comes with summer. That’s why we have created a guide to help you know about the plumbing problems to look for.
Discolored Water Could Mean You Need Fixture Repair
When you are noticing that you have discolored water coming out of your faucet, this could be an indication of a few different problems.
One of the most common problems that cause discolored water is when you need your well-pump repaired. If you have a well, the water that’s coming out of it is usually going to be clear rather than dirty or discolored.
If your water isn’t clear, then you want to call a plumber to find out what is happening with your well-pump. The water that is coming out of the faucet is likely not safe to drink or use for cooking or bathing.
Take Good Care of Your Outdoor Plumbing
You have a lot on your mind during the summer. Your kids are home and you’re probably planning your vacations.
But you want to make sure that you are keeping an eye on your outdoor plumbing and taking good care of it.
That will help ensure that you have working sprinklers and faucets when you want to water your grass and garden. You will be happy that you took good care of it.
Signs You May Need an Outdoor Fixture Installation
Having a well is wonderful. You have a constant flow of water and you don’t have to pay for your water like you do when you have city water.
But there are sometimes when having a well is a problem, like when your well-pump fails. Below are some signs that you may need to replace your well-pump.
- Your water pressure’s gone down.
- Your water is dirty.
- Odd or loud noises.
- Air’s spitting from your faucets.
- Your electric bills are unusually high (this can be because your pump’s running continuously so that water pressure’s maintained.
