Arizona Summer Home Checklist: AC Filters, Drains & Pool Safety Tips for a Safe
As Arizona temperatures rise, it’s the perfect time to make sure your home is ready for the intense heat. From checking your AC system to preparing for pool season, a little preventive maintenance now can help you avoid costly damage—and keep your home safe and comfortable all summer long.
At Unified Restoration, we specialize in water damage restoration across Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, and surrounding Arizona communities. While we don’t handle plumbing repairs directly, we work closely with trusted local partners to make sure your home is protected from both preventable leaks and unexpected flooding.
✅ 1. Replace Your AC Filters & Clean the Vents
Your air conditioning system will be running nonstop this summer—make sure it’s ready. Dirty filters can reduce efficiency, raise energy bills, and put stress on your HVAC unit.
Homeowner tip:
Replace filters every 30–60 days, especially if you have pets or allergies. Take a vacuum to your air vents while you’re at it to improve airflow and indoor air quality.
🚰 2. Flush Drains & Watch for Early Warning Signs
Warm weather accelerates buildup in drains, which can lead to clogs, odors, or overflows. If your sinks or tubs are draining slowly, act now before minor issues turn into water damage.
Quick fix:
Flush drains with a mix of hot water, baking soda, and vinegar to keep things flowing. If issues persist, we can connect you with one of our reliable plumbing partners.
🔥 3. Adjust Your Water Heater Temperature
Prevent burns and save energy by setting your water heater to 120°F. Anything hotter can cause scalding—especially for kids and older adults—and higher temps don’t necessarily clean better.
If a leak or malfunction occurs, remember: Unified Restoration LLC is your go-to for emergency water damage restoration.
🕵️ 4. Inspect for Leaks Around the Home
Even a small leak can turn into a big problem—especially in summer when high temps increase pressure on pipes and appliances.
✅ Check under sinks
✅ Inspect around the water heater
✅ Look behind the fridge and washing machine
If you discover water damage, don’t wait. Our team is available 24/7 to assess, mitigate, and restore the damage
🛟 Pool & Child Safety: Local Resources That Could Save a Life
Arizona leads the country in drownings involving young children. Staying informed and prepared is essential.
Arizona pool season is already here, and it’s crucial to keep kids safe around water. Drowning is fast and silent, and most accidents happen in the moments when adults assume someone else is watching.
Pool safety checklist:
Fencing with self-latching gates
Working pool alarms
No toys left in or near the pool
Active, not passive, supervision
It takes seconds for a tragedy to occur—stay alert and informed.
