How Summer Weather Affects Your Indoor Air Quality

Posted on July 17, 2025 | by arketing | Leave a Comment

Summers in Central & Eastern Mass can be very hot and humid. Many homeowners spend most of their time outdoors during the summer months. However, when they step inside, they often find their indoor air quality is very poor. Allergens, higher humidity and rising temperatures all contribute to reduced air quality. Landry Mechanical put together this guide on How Summer Weather Affects Your Indoor Air Quality and how to improve it.

The Summer Heat

Pollutants inside your home are exacerbated by warmer temperatures.

If you use A/C in your home, you most likely have the windows and doors closed to keep cold air in.

These allergens linger inside your home and mix with warm air to create an uncomfortable environment.

Mold Growing on Ceiling Inside Home — High Humidity In Your Home Can Lead to Mold Growth Like This!

The Danger of Humidity

Humidity isn’t just uncomfortable; it can become a breeding ground for harmful air pollutants. If indoor humidity rises above 60%, mold, mildew, and dust mites will thrive inside of your home.

Here are some tips to reduce your home’s humidity:

Consider a humidity monitor to keep levels between 30-50%
Properly Vent Bathrooms, Kitchens & other High Moisture Areas
Use portable dehumidifiers or consider installing a whole-home dehumidifier
Clean and dry damp areas and spots quickly

Woman Cleaning Carpet With Vacuum — Regular Home Cleaning can dramatically Improve Indoor Air Quality

The Danger of Allergens

Pollen from trees, weeds, and other plants ends up everywhere during the summer including your home!

Pollen can enter your home on clothes, pets, and open windows. This contributes to poor indoor air quality during the summer season. It can also trigger symptoms in people with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory issues.

Here are some tips to reduce allergens in your home:

Monitor pollen counts on weather apps
Keep windows closed during days with high pollen counts
Run an air purifier with a HEPA filter
Regularly clean your home with microfiber cloths and vacuum cleaners

Woman opening window — Opening your windows on cooler days lets fresh air into the home!

Air Conditioning & Air Quality

Air conditioning keeps you comfortable on steamy summer days.

However, A/C systems can either improve or degrade your home’s air quality. Dirty A/C filters can spread dust, pollen, and mold throughout your home. Malfunctioning A/C systems can also increase humidity.

Here are some tips on how to use your A/C without reducing air quality:

Clean or replace your air conditioning filter regularly
Let fresh air inside your home on a regular basis during cooler weather
Consider upgrading your A/C system to a newer model with humidity control
Use an air purifier in addition to your A/C in your home to filter out other allergens

Conclusion

Summer weather has a negative impact on your indoor air quality. However, by taking some proactive steps, you can stay comfortable even during a heat wave.

If you’re interested in improving your home’s air quality, “Just Call Landry” We’re your local HVAC & Indoor Air Quality experts standing by to bring comfort to your home.

Low Water Pressure

One of the most common issues we see during summertime is low water pressure. Water usage goes up during the summer and increased demand may lead to lower water pressure. Also, hotter temperatures lead to increased evaporation contributing to reduced water pressure.

Low water pressure may also be caused by leaks within your pipes.

Low Water Pressure In Bathroom Faucet — Low Water Pressure is Common During the Summer Months

Worried about low water pressure? “Just Call Landry” our local plumbing experts can inspect your pipes and determine the cause of your low water pressure.

Tree Roots

Summertime is growth season for trees in your yard. Because trees naturally grow towards water your pipes may end up damaged from these roots.

If tree roots penetrate your pipes, backups and clogged drains are sure to follow.

Tree Roots in Underground Plumbing — Tree Roots Inside Pipes are Terrible for your Plumbing System!

The best way to deal with this issue is to “Just Call Landry” Our licensed plumbers can investigate and replace broken pipes with tree roots in them.

UV Rays & Your Plumbing

Did you know that ultraviolet rays (UV’s) can damage your home’s plumbing? When our sun’s rays touch exposed pipes, they can weaken the pipe’s structure. The best way to protect them is to insulate the pipes.

If you’re interested in protecting your pipes, it’s best to “Just Call Landry” Our plumbers can insulate your exposed pipes from the sun’s harmful rays

Check Your Toilet

Summertime means more time spent at home especially for children on summer break. Summer parties and BBQ’s can also put increased strain on your plumbing system.

Toilet clogs are common during the summertime.

The best way to prevent them is by having your drains inspected and cleaned by Landry Mechanical!

Also, don’t put grease or un-flushable wipes down the drain!

Expanding Pipes

Pipe expansion is one of the most common summer plumbing problems.

When temperatures rise, pipes often expand leading to leaks or pipe failure.

Leaking Pipe From Summer Heat — Summer Temperatures Can Cause Leaks and Expansion in Plumbing!

If you notice that your ‘cold water’ comes out hot or a sudden increase in your water bill, expanding pipes may be the culprit.

Most pipes are situated underground and may be impossible to check without professional help.

In most cases, it’s best to “Just Call Landry” Our plumbers can perform a plumbing inspection to keep your pipes safe from hot weather this summer!

Conclusion

Extreme heat and summer sun can cause major problems for your plumbing system. Let Landry Mechanical handle your plumbing woes so you can enjoy the summer in comfort!

Damage From Insects and Pests

Humans aren’t the only animals that seek the shade when heat waves hit. Small animals like mice, rats, squirrels, and chipmunks can all nest within your home.

Consider installing a whole home generator to keep electronics running smoothly
Install Whole-Home Surge Protectors to keep appliances safe from surges

How To Flood-Proof Your Plumbing

Posted on July 10, 2025 | by arketing | Leave a Comment

Flooding is common in Central and Eastern Massachusetts. This is especially true during the rainy seasons.

Flood waters can damage your property and belongings inside costing you thousands of dollars. Landry Mechanical is here to help with tips on how to flood-proof your plumbing system.

Your home’s sump pump removes flood water from your basement or other crawl spaces. Sump pumps work by collecting flood water in a put and pumping it away. This protects your homes foundation from water damage.

To test your sump pump, fill the sump pit with water so that the float is able to rise. If the pump activates your pump is ready for flooding.

If the sump pump doesn’t turn on, it’s time to “Just Call Landry”. Our Drain & Sewer experts at Landry Mechanical can repair and replace broken sump pumps. We’ll make sure your sump pump is ready for floods.

Sump Pump Pit with water inside — Sump Pumps Like These Remove water from your home and away from your foundation!

Install A Backflow Prevention Valve

Backflow occurs when the normal flow of water reverses, potentially contaminating your home’s water supply. Backflow prevention valves stop reverse flow keeping your water supply clean during flooding.

Don’t have a backflow prevention system? “Just Call Landry”. Our plumbing experts offer a range of backflow prevention services to keep your water clean and safe.

Run into any clogs? “Just Call Landry” Our plumbing experts can perform camera inspections and drain cleaning services.

Locate Your Main Water Shut Off Valve

During flooding, the last thing you need is more water in your home. When flood waters enter your home locate the shut off valve and turn it off. Make sure you know where it is beforehand because it is difficult to navigate a flooded basement.

Main Water Valve — During flooding, always turn off your main line valve!

Don’t know where your shut off valve is? “Just Call Landry” our plumbing experts can help. Landry Mechanical offers whole home plumbing inspections. We can help you locate your home’s shut off valve in case of emergencies.

Spigot Cover to Prevent Freeze ups and flooding damage — Spigot Covers Like This Prevent Freezing Pipes & Flood Damage!

Replace Rusty or Damaged Pipes

The 2nd largest cause of flooding in homes is leaking pipes. Most old pipes are made out of copper and iron which rust over time.

What To Do If Your A/C Goes Out During a Heatwave

Posted on June 16, 2025 | by arketing | Leave a Comment

Woman Trying To Turn On Broken A/C System

What To Do If Your A/C Goes Out During a Heatwave

At Landry Mechanical, we know how brutal and sweaty New England summers can be. However, summer heat isn’t just uncomfortable, it can be deadly.

According to mass.gov “Extreme heat can be dangerous and even life-threatening if proper precautions are not taken” Here’s what to do if your A/C goes out during a heatwave.

Pay Attention to Weather Reports

News Reporter Shows Heat Warning — Pay attention to the news for heat warnings!

In Central and Eastern Mass, weather can change frequently.

Pay attention to weather reports that mention heat watch, heat advisory or excessive heat warnings.

These are signs that a heatwave may be on the way. The more time you have to prepare the better.

Stay Cool

Staying cool during a heatwave is your main priority. If you’re A/C isn’t working, there are other ways to avoid heat stroke.

Man Closing Blinds During a Heatwave — Closing your blinds during a heatwave can reduce the temperature in your home!

Close blinds and curtains during the day
Use fans: Ceiling Fans and box fans keep you cool and push out hot air.
Take cool showers and baths rather than hot ones
Seek out cool locations like libraries or shopping malls.
Dress lightly (wear clothing that is loose-fitting and lightly colored)

Ceiling Fan In Living Room — Ceiling fans like this one can keep you cool even if your A/C isn’t working!

Run into issues with your ceiling fans? “Just Call Landry” Our electrical experts are here to help with ceiling fan repairs and replacements to keep you cool this summer!

Stay Hydrated

No Soda, No Alcohol, No Caffeine — Avoid Soda, Alcohol, and Caffeine during heatwaves. They increase your chance of dehydration!

Dehydration during a heat wave is common, but serious. Dehydration can lead to health problems and death if untreated. To avoid dehydration, drink water frequently, avoid drinking sugary drinks, or alcohol.

These beverages increase your chance of dehydration. Make sure you have bottled water available before the next heatwave strikes

Check Your A/C System

Checking Ecobee Smart Home Thermostat — Check your thermostat to make sure your A/C system works properly!

You should always check your A/C System before a heatwave arrives. First, make sure the thermostat is set to the correct temperature for your home. Also, make sure that your system starts when you turn it on.

If you have window units that aren’t working, make sure to check the electrical panel to see if the circuit breaker is tripped.

If you’re a/c system isn’t running or is blowing hot air, it’s time to “Just Call Landry” Our home cooling experts are here to help with A/C repairs and A/C Installations to get your system back up and running.

Change Your Air Filter

Clean & Dirty HVAC Air Filter — Dirty air filters on your A/C system can cause warmer temperatures in your home!

Dirty air filters reduce cooling system efficiency and limits airflow. If your a/c isn’t working well, a dirty air filter may be the issue.

If you notice a dirty air filter, it’s time to “Just Call Landry”!

Our HVAC maintenance experts are here to help with filter replacement to keep your ac running smoothly.

Limit Heat Sources

Wet Clothes Drying on clothes line — Consider hang drying your clothes during heatwaves. It keeps your home cooler and saves electricity!

Heat generating appliances are the last thing you want to turn on during a heatwave.

Using Ovens, clothing dryers, space heaters and other heating devices will increase the temperature of your home. This is especially true if your ac isn’t working.

Consider cooking outdoors or going out to eat to prevent turning the oven on.

Dry clothes outdoors on a clothesline and unplug any space heaters you may still have on from winter time.

Conclusion

Heatwaves can be dangerous if you don’t know ways to stay cool. Although these methods can help, it’s always best to have a working air conditioning system.

Landry Mechanical has you covered with A/C maintenance, repair and replacement. We’ll keep you cool during the heatwaves this summer.

Why Summer is The Season For Water Quality

Posted on June 13, 2025 | by arketing | Leave a Comment

Why Summer is The Season For Water Quality

Summer is right around the corner. For homeowners in central and eastern mass summer is a time of BBQ’s, beach trips and reduced water quality. At Landry Mechanical, proper water treatment and filtration is one of the ways we bring comfort to Massachusetts homeowners. We put together a guide on why summer is the season for water quality.

Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB’s)

What is a Harmful Algal Bloom?

According to NOAA.gov, “Harmful algal blooms, or HABs, occur when colonies of algae — simple plants that live in the sea and freshwater — grow out of control and produce toxic or harmful effects on people, fish, shellfish, marine mammals and birds. The human illnesses caused by HABs, though rare, can be debilitating or even fatal”

Every costal and great lakes state experiences HAB’s including Massachusetts.

How To Remove Harmful Algal Blooms?

Unfortunately, recreational water filters like BRITA filters won’t remove HAB’s from your home’s water supply.

At Landry Mechanical, we recommend a water filtration system that included carbon filtration and UV treatment. A system like this from Landry can keep your home’s water free from harmful algal blooms.

Need a Water Filtration System for your home? “Just Call Landry” We’ll set you up with a brand-new filtration system.

Low Well Water

Dirty Well Water Flowing Out of A Faucet — If your well water looks like this, it’s time to “Just Call Landry”

Hot summer temperatures can cause increased evaporation of well water. Also, water usage tends to increase during the summer season.

This can lead to sediment or other contaminants from the well ending up in your drinking water at home.

How To Prevent Low Well Water

Conservation is the best approach to keeping well water levels high. Consider watering lawns during cooler times, take shorter showers, or consider installing water saving plumbing fixtures.

Interested in water saving plumbing fixtures? “Just Call Landry” our plumbers can install and repair plumbing devices to protect your well water.

Old Metal Pipes

During hot new England summers, metal pipes can expand leading to cracks and leaks.

Weak pipes are more prone to leeching dangerous heavy metals like copper and lead into your water supply.

Hot temperatures can also speed up the corrosion process in pipes. This also leeches metals into your water.

What To Do About Old Metal Pipes?

Old metal pipes are common in Massachusetts’ homes. The best way to prevent leeching pipes is to “Just Call Landry”. Our plumbing experts can perform a plumbing safety inspection to look for old, leaching pipes.

We can also install a water filtration system to remove metals like copper and iron from your water.

Maintain Outdoor Water Fixtures

Most homeowners don’t think about their spigots and faucets until it’s too late. Outdoor water fixtures like these can harbor bacteria if neglected. I’s best practice to flush these fixtures regularly and replace old hose filters.

Need a new spigot for your home? “Just Call Landry” our plumbing experts can repair and replace spigots to keep your water supply bacteria free this summer.

Conclusion

Summer poses unique challenges for homeowners in central and eastern mass. Good water quality is essential for safe drinking and bathing water in your home. If you’re unsure if your water is safe “Just Call Landry” We’re your local water treatment experts, ready to bring comfort to you this summer!

It’s been rainy in New England recently. Massachusetts summers often bring thunderstorms with them. Lighting strikes are dangerous, and summer storms can cause issues with your electrical system. Landry’s Electricians are here with tips on how to prepare your electrical system for thunderstorms.
