Charlotte’s late-summer heat, humidity, and storms can reveal plumbing problems before they become expensive repairs. Take a few minutes to check these five areas:
1. Slow or foul-smelling drains: Look for buildup, standing water, or odors that may signal a developing clog.
2. Dripping outdoor faucets: Even a small leak wastes water and can point to a worn washer, valve, or connection.
3. Weak or inconsistent water pressure: Changes throughout the home may indicate a leak, failing fixture, or plumbing issue that needs attention.
4. Water-heater warning signs: Watch for rusty water, unusual noises, leaks, or water that isn’t staying hot.
5. Storm-related exterior drainage issues: After heavy rain, check gutters, downspouts, outdoor drains, and hose connections for clogs, pooling, or damaged fittings.
