The most wonderful time of the year is approaching and you don't want any plumbing mishaps on your hands! You are busy spending time with family, shopping, decorating, baking, wrapping gifts and there is no time to deal with your pesky plumbing! Follow these tips to keep the joy in your holiday season this year.
Limit What You Put Down The Garbage Disposal - A lot of cooking happens around the holidays. Be sure no seeds, pits, bones, gravy, or potato skins make their way into your garbage disposal. Grease, fat and oils can also wreck havoc on your disposal. Simply dispose of them in the trash can instead.
Make Sure Your Bathrooms Have a Trash Can - If you don't already have a trash can in your bathroom, you should invest in one. Lots of guests default to using the toliet as a trash can, so having one visibly seen in your bathroom can help prevent a potential clog and a flooding toliet.
Keep a Plunger By The Toilet - Lets face it - clogs in the bathroom will happen. Even more likely if you are having guests at your house. Having a plunger readily available can easily help that guest fix the clog on their own.
Service Your Water Heater - If you are having out of town guests, that means more people taking showers. Have your water heater serviced to ensure it is functioning properly.
Install a Drain Catch in Your Shower - More people taking showers can also equal more hair and debris in your shower drains. Installing a drain catch can help catch unwanted debris from going down your drain.
