Why Heavy Rain Spells Trouble for Your Plumbing:
Heavy rain can wreak havoc on your plumbing system, leading to blockages, cracks, and increased pressure. Here’s how:
Blockages and Debris Accumulation: The influx of rainwater carries debris that can clog pipes, causing water to overflow and damage your property.
Cracked Pipes: Soil saturation from heavy rain increases pressure on pipes, leading to cracks or breaks that result in leaks and water damage.
Increased Pressure: Sludge and mud carried by heavy rainwater add pressure to the plumbing system, compromising its performance and integrity.
Signs of Plumbing Issues:
Detecting plumbing problems early is crucial. Look out for these signs:
Change in Water Pressure: Leaking taps or skyrocketing utility bills may indicate a change in water pressure, signaling underlying plumbing issues.
Slow Drainage: If water takes longer than usual to drain, it could indicate damaged or deteriorating pipes that require attention.
Discolored Water: Dirty or discolored water flowing from taps is a red flag for pipe damage, prompting the need for professional inspection and repairs.
