Summer is the perfect season for tackling home improvement projects, indoors and out. The warm weather and longer days offer ideal conditions for making certain upgrades, especially when it comes to plumbing. But while some tasks – like replacing a faucet or fixing a leaky outdoor pipe – are safe DIY ventures for those with basic plumbing skills, others are better left to the pros.
Here are just a few summer plumbing projects that may seem manageable at first, but could lead to bigger problems if not handled properly. So, before you reach for the wrench, consider why you might want to bring in Norhio Plumbing to ensure safe and accurate project completion.
Installing or Moving Outdoor Fixtures
Whether you’re adding an outdoor kitchen, faucet, or shower, the plumbing work involved in installing or relocating outdoor fixtures is more complex than it might first appear. These projects typically require digging, connecting to your home’s main water supply, and ensuring proper drainage. A mistake here can lead to leaks, low water pressure, or even code violations.
Sewer Line Inspections or Repairs
Slow drains or foul odors in the summer heat might signal a sewer line problem, often caused by root intrusion or shifting soil. While camera inspection tools are available for rent, interpreting what you see – and resolving the issue – is far more difficult. Norhio Plumbing has the right tools and training to handle them safely and legally.
Water Heater Maintenance or Replacement
Water heaters work harder during the summer due to increased use—think showers after yard work, pool parties, and guests. If you notice inconsistent water temperatures, sediment buildup, or strange noises, it may be time to inspect or replace your water heater. What’s more, water heaters involve gas, electricity, and pressurized water – three more reasons to call on the pros at Norhio Plumbing for expert assistance.
Major Pipe Replacements or Re-Routing
Summer is a popular time for remodeling projects that involve moving sinks, toilets, or showers. These changes often require re-routing pipes, which can affect your entire plumbing system. One small miscalculation during pipe rerouting can cause long-term damage or expensive corrections.
