Why Summer Is the Best Time for Plumbing Repairs and Remodels

When the sun’s out and the rain finally takes a break in Lake Stevens, it’s the perfect time to tackle your plumbing to-do list. At Richter Plumbing, we always see a spike in requests during summer—and for good reason. Whether you’re upgrading old fixtures or planning a full remodel, here’s why summer is the ideal season for plumbing work.

1. Easier Access to Plumbing Systems

Dry weather means no soggy soil, flooding, or mud around crawl spaces. This makes it easier and faster for plumbers to reach outdoor lines or underground pipes without delays.

2. Flexible Schedules and Faster Permits

Many homeowners take time off or work shorter hours in the summer, making it easier to schedule work without disrupting your routine. Plus, city and county permitting offices tend to be more responsive during this time.

3. Prep Your Home Before Fall and Winter

Don’t wait until the colder months to discover a leak or failing pipe. Summer is your chance to:

• Replace outdated piping

• Upgrade to low-flow toilets or energy-efficient fixtures

• Remodel bathrooms or kitchens with minimal downtime

  
  

4. Ideal for Remodeling Projects

If you’re considering a remodel, summer provides more daylight hours and better working conditions. Plumbers can coordinate with contractors and avoid weather-related delays.

If you’ve been putting off plumbing repairs or dreaming of a remodel, summer is your best window to make it happen.
