We all have different habits in different seasons. This is especially true if you have a large family. During the summer, there may be more people spending time in your home between children being out of school and friends visiting. If you have a large lawn, you might be watering the grass regularly, and you might leave your home empty and go on a vacation for an extended period of time.
All these things change the way your plumbing is being used. Your hot water tank might drain out quicker, your septic tank might take more stress, and pipes that weren’t in use during the winter, such as those leading to your sprinklers are now being utilized. You should make sure that you check that your sprinkler system isn’t leaking, since a constant leak over the course of the summer could be a significant water loss. If you do leave your home for a longer period of time, you could turn down your water heater to its lowest setting to save money while you’re gone.
