Preventative maintenance is key to a happy home. Here are a few handy household issues to look out for in wet weather:
Drain Blockage
Have you noticed your sink backing up? A simple culprit may be to blame. Leaves in your yard are most likely to clog this time of year and be cause for concern as they enter your home drainage system. Stormy season means severe rain and wind can push the leaves in your yard into problematic piles that block your drainage system and can cause sink plumbing to clog.

Water Heater Failure
As the ground temperature changes in a wet winter, cold water entering your hot water heater can result in a steep temperature drop. Hmmm, what exactly does that mean? Well, essentially your hard working water heater has to work even harder to heat cold water than it does lukewarm water. Anytime you use hot water heated by the tank, cold water enters. This results in a constant need to heat because the hot and cold water mix. While your system is working overtime, your water heater is more likely to fail. One solution is to insulate any exposed pipes entering your hot water heater. You could also schedule a home inspection to ensure your equipment is functioning safely and efficiently.
