Wetter Than Usual Spring Weather Forecast? What It Means For Your Plumbing

Posted on 29 October 2020

If you live in or around the Sydney area, you will know that some springtime sometimes means rain, and lots of it.

When the weather forecast is wetter than usual, things can happen to your property’s plumbing, potential issues that you should know about.

What Spring Means For Your Plumbing
What Spring Means For Your Plumbing

As one of Sydney’s go-to experts, we know a thing or two about wet weather and the perils of plumbing. And, to help you avoid any costly calamities in the wet weather, we’re going to tell you what to expect from your plumbing system during spring.

Let’s dive in.

Increased pipe pressure

As the rain plummets down and the ground gets all the more saturated, increased weight and pressure can cause your pipes to leak, crack or rupture.

It’s true that plumbing piping is durable and designed to withstand a range of challenging weather conditions, but wear and tear does occur over time. Plus, the wetter the weather, the more pressure your pipes are likely to experience.

To tackle the issue, you should inspect saturated or flooded areas outside your property and if you feel there is a problem, you should call a local plumbing expert to nip the issue in the bud.

Blocked drains & pipes

Expanding on our previous point, another common plumbing issue in wetter weather conditions is blocked drains and pipes.

Excess mud, dirt, sediment, and debris can cause blockages pretty quickly, but there are simple measures you can take to prevent any major issues—things like buying a strainer, cleaning your guttering, and looking after your internal sinks or drainage systems.

To find out more, check out our handy guide to preventing blocked pipes & drains.

Overstretched soak wells or sump pumps

Another common wet weather plumbing issue in Australia is overworked wells or sump pumps.

Sump pumps or soak wells are vital for keeping your property irrigated in wet weather conditions and basically, preventing flooding. But when the rain persists, these systems become strained due to the density of the soil. When this happens, they can and will break.

If the rain starts to pour and doesn’t show any signs of slowing down, checking your soak well or sump pumps is certainly advisable. Doing so will ensure that everything flows freely (as it should) during the wetter months while reducing the chances of a complete plumbing catastrophe.

Often, prevention is the best course of action when it comes to keeping your plumbing system in the wetter months. As Sydney’s trusted plumbing experts, Emergency Plumbers will help you service or maintain your plumbing system while fixing any potential issues with the utmost professionalism.
