Tips and Tricks for Keeping the Holiday Season Flowing Smoothly
With the Holidays right around the corner, be prepared for busy days filled with shopping, eating and family get togethers, however, be mindful of the toll the holidays may take on your plumbing. This time of year is also a very busy time for companies that work overtime to clear the drains and pipes of the households that are stuffed with families trying to enjoy good food, as well each other’s company. Plumbing Companies recommend some simple tips to help your pipes run smoothly.
First, take care on what is allowed down your kitchen sink. Trying to use your garbage disposal as a trash can may prove to be a mistake. Always let water flow through your disposal and try keeping fats, cooking oils, potato peels, bones, and poultry skins from entering. The bathroom toilet should take the same care. Only bodily functions and toilet paper should be allowed to be flushed. Second, try to ease the stress that is put upon your plumbing by allowing at least 15 minutes between showers to let your drains completely clear. Also, try to have guests clear their plates before washing the dishes to prevent any unwanted items from potentially clogging the drains. Finally, make sure any slow drains are properly cleared before the holiday season. A small check up from a friendly plumber may just save you some money in the long run. Prevent a plumbing nightmare and ask V-Max Plumbing for any advice or help in case of a plumbing emergency.
