We get these calls every summer “my sink is backing up and it wasn’t even being used!!!”
If you are like me I don’t get upstairs much. I rely on my kids to let me know if they are 
having any issues with anything in our home upstairs. If your kids are anything like mine these notifications may not come early enough to prevent damage. Here is an example my daughter let all of the lights in her bathroom burn out. She moved a lamp into the bathroom instead of changing the light bulbs….. I was proud of her for being resourceful, however we needed a lesson in changing light bulbs.
The same goes for sinks. If you don’t check your sinks upstairs, it could be a huge mistake. Air conditioning units tie their condensate drain into a lavatory sink drain line in homes. In two story homes it is normally a sink on the second floor. The pipes in your home are warm if not super hot during the summer. The cold water that comes into these lines begin to fester and build up sludge. This sludge is what causes the drain to become clogged.
Most of the calls we get with sinks not draining in the summer are AC stoppages. When we get these calls it is normally too late and water is pouring through the ceiling or overflowing onto the bathroom floor.
Don’t delay, check to see if your bathroom sinks are draining slow.

The well being and health of our plumbers and plumbers helpers is very important to us. During the summer months for this reason and sometimes longer in Texas we limit attic work to first thing in the morning. Sometimes it goes over that morning window and our guys are still stuck in the attic. It is basically an oven in your home. If you don’t believe me just make a trip on a Saturday or Sunday to your attic around 2pm just to take a breath, if you can.
Toilet running – why?
1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit.
