Beat the Heat: Summer Plumbing Tips to Protect Your Home

Summer in Colorado is all about sunshine, backyard BBQs, and maybe a quick trip to the mountains. But while you’re soaking up the sun, your plumbing might be feeling the heat—literally. Hot weather can put extra stress on your pipes, fixtures, and water systems, especially if you’re using more water outdoors.

To help you avoid mid-summer plumbing headaches, here are a few easy tips
to keep your home running smoothly all season long.

1. Give Your Outdoor Faucets a Quick Check

Before you hook up the hose or turn on the sprinkler, take a minute to inspect your outdoor faucets. Look for any leaks, drips, or signs of rust. Even a small crack can waste a ton of water over time—and drive up your bill. If something looks off, it’s best to get it fixed before it turns into a bigger
problem.

2. Watch Out for Sprinkler Sneak Attacks

Sprinkler systems are summer MVPs, but they’re also prone to wear and tear. Walk your yard and check each sprinkler head for clogs, cracks, or misfires. A broken head can flood your lawn or leave dry patches. Bonus tip: set your sprinklers to run early in the morning or late in the evening to save water and keep your grass happy.

3. Keep an Eye on Your Water Pressure

Using more water in the summer—whether it’s for filling up the kiddie pool or washing the car—can sometimes mess with your water pressure. If you notice a sudden drop, it could be a sign of a leak or buildup in your pipes. Don’t ignore it! A quick inspection now can save you from a major repair
later.

4. Clean or Replace Water Filters

If you’ve got a water filtration system, summer is a great time to check the filters. With more people at home and more water being used, your filters can get dirty faster. Clean filters mean better-tasting water and less strain on your plumbing system.

5. Be Smart About Vacation Prep

Heading out of town? Don’t forget to prep your plumbing before you go. Shut off the main water valve, check for any slow leaks, and maybe even turn your water heater to vacation mode. It’s a simple way to avoid coming home to a soggy surprise.
