💧 A Small Leak Can Become a Big Problem While You’re Away

Before leaving for a summer getaway:

Check toilets, faucets, and supply lines for leaks
Know where your main water shutoff is located
Consider turning off the water if your home will be empty
Ask someone you trust to check the house
Consider a smart whole-home shutoff, like Flo by Moen

A smart shutoff can monitor water use, alert you to unusual activity, and automatically stop the water when a serious leak is detected—helping minimize damage while you’re away.

Because the only water you should worry about on vacation is at the pool. 😎

💧 Most Plumbing Disasters Start Quietly

A hidden leak may begin behind a wall, beneath the foundation, or inside an aging pipe. By the time you notice water damage, the repair may already be expensive.

Southern California homes face added risks from:

Hard water and aging pipes
Shifting or expansive soil
Slab foundations
Earthquakes and ground movement

Watch for unexplained water bills, damp spots, musty odors, warm flooring, low water pressure, or the sound of running water when everything is turned off.

Mold can begin growing within 24–48 hours of ongoing moisture, while an untreated leak can lead to damaged flooring, walls, or even the foundation.

The good news? Most plumbing problems provide early warning signs. Catching them quickly can help protect your home—and your wallet.

🌳 Dry Soil Can Spell Trouble for Sewer Lines

Southern California’s dry summer soil sends thirsty tree roots searching for water—sometimes straight into older clay or cast-iron sewer pipes.

Watch for these warning signs:

Multiple slow drains
Gurgling toilets
Unpleasant drain odors
Recurring clogs or backups

Don’t wait for a major mess. A sewer camera inspection can locate invading roots before they cause more costly damage.

Water Pressure Matters! Don't let high water pressure prematurely ware your plumbing system down.

Your home has “blood pressure” too. Learn why keeping water pressure at 75 PSI or less can help protect your plumbing system and prevent costly damage.

We haven't hit 110° yet... but we know it's coming. ☀️

Extreme summer heat doesn't just affect people. It can also dry out the soil around your home, causing ground movement that puts stress on underground pipes.

That's one reason we tend to see more underground leaks during the hottest months of the year.

Keep an eye on your water bill, your water pressure, and any unusually wet or green spots around your property.

Stay cool, Southern California.
