Summertime is Plumber Time at Logan Services!
Summer means more outdoor fun, more guests, and more water usage, which can put a strain on your plumbing system. For homeowners in Dayton, Columbus, and Cincinnati, Logan Services recommends using this season to complete essential plumbing tasks and prevent emergency repairs before they start.
If a project is beyond your comfort zone, don’t risk it—call our professional plumbers at (800) 564-2611 for expert help and fast, reliable service.
Why Summer Is the Right Time for Plumbing Work
Warm weather makes inspections and repairs easier and faster. It also brings specific risks: increased rainfall can flood basements, heavy water usage can strain older pipes, and summer heat can reveal weak points in outdoor fixtures, whether you’re prepping for a backyard BBQ or going on vacation, having reliable plumbing matters.
Now is the ideal time to schedule a free plumbing inspection with Logan Services. Preventive maintenance during summer can save you from costly emergencies later.

Common Summer Plumbing Issues by Region
Dayton Area
- Basement flooding from sudden summer storms requires reliable sump pump systems and backups.
- Older homes in the Miami Valley often have galvanized or corroded pipes prone to clogs and leaks.
- Flash flooding and high clay content in the soil increase stress on sewer and drainage systems.
Columbus Area
- Hard water across the Columbus region leads to faster water heater sediment buildup and fixture scaling.
- Tree root intrusion and aging sewer laterals increase the risk of backups during peak summer rainfall.
- Rural wells and high water usage in areas both northwest and southwest of Columbus expose weak spots in plumbing systems.
- Irrigation systems and hose bibs are prone to damage from past winter freezes and summer wear.
Cincinnati Area
- Older infrastructure in Northern Kentucky (e.g., Covington, Florence, and other cities along the Ohio River) increases the risk of sewer line failures and crawl space flooding.
- Northern Cincinnati’s aging homes face heavy drain usage, sump pump demand, and high water pressure issues.
- Outdoor fixture damage (cracked hose bibs, leaking spigots) is common across the Cincinnati metro as outdoor water use spikes.
