Yakima Residential Plumbing Services

Yakima's climate typically lends itself to an average of 205 sunny and warm days. With little rainfall throughout the year, most homeowners are free from torrential rains and flooding. However, there are a few plumbing problems we normally find in drier weather, including odors, cracks, and leaks.

If you notice these issues in your home or begin to suspect there’s something wrong, reach out to our expert technicians for reliable Yakima plumbers who understand the weather and can provide an in-depth assessment of your plumbing.

• Sewer Odor – Since water is not running through the pipes consistently in dry climates, dirt, and debris can get caught in the pipes and cause clogs or backflow. Either of these issues can create lingering odors and will need to be addressed quickly to remedy the situation.
• Pipeline Cracks – Long periods without rain or precipitation, along with the fires that arise in Washington, cause the ground to dry. As the ground settles, the pipes take on more strain and can crack.
• Leaks – Cracking pipelines combined with using a garden hose or sprinklers can often lead to leaks both under and above ground. Underground leaks may be more difficult to discern, so it’s critical that your pipes are properly insulated, and their condition is routinely checked.
