With thousands of seasonal residents returning, local water usage spikes, guest rooms open back up, kitchens get busier, and plumbing fixtures that sat unused suddenly get heavy demand – and that combination often exposes hidden issues.

Apex Plumbing notes that many of the most common seasonal plumbing emergencies stem from systems that weren’t flushed, tested, or inspected before heavier use begins. The team recommends that homeowners run water in guest bathrooms, flush toilets that haven’t been used recently, test garbage disposals, and check for slow drains or dripping fixtures before family or seasonal visitors arrive.

Taking proactive steps now can reduce the risk of emergency plumbing calls once everyone is back in full swing. Apex Plumbing encourages homeowners to consider the following maintenance items before that heavy holiday traffic and return season begins:

• Flush out guest bathrooms that have been sitting unused • Inspect under sinks for moisture, small leaks, or water stains • Test garbage disposals before big meal prepping begins • Check outdoor hose bibs and irrigation lines for slow dripping • Schedule a professional drain cleaning to avoid holiday backups

Even small steps now can help avoid messy surprises and urgent repairs during the busiest time of year. Apex Plumbing offers full plumbing inspections, water heater assessments, drain cleaning, and other services that provide peace of mind before the seasonal rush. Homeowners who want to get ahead of the season can schedule an appointment by calling (727) 761-4744 or visiting apexdoyourplumbing.com.
