Is your plumbing ready for the holidays?

1. Clear your drains.

If you want to make sure your drains are in working order, consider having them cleaned before your guest arrive for the holidays. To ensure debris wont get stuck in your pipes, install a simple drain strainer. This saves you from having to unclog the drain or deal with a plumbing emergency while entertaining guests.

2. Be conscious of shower times.

Ask your guests to allow a fifteen minute resting time between each person so your drain and water heater can catch up. If running out of hot water is a frequent problem in your household, it may be time to invest in a new tankless water heater. Call to speak with one of our technicians today to see if this would be right for your home 281-333-0733.

3. Keep an eye on your garbage disposal.

Your garbage disposal is not a trash, it can only handle so much, and the consequences of throwing even the slightest amount of unwanted items down your drain can cause issues. When your cooking and looking for a place to dump your grease or corn husk choose the trash bin instead.

4. Invest in extra trash bins.

When festivities are in full swing, and all the guest are over a clogged toilet is the last thing you want to with. To be sure unwanted items are being disposed the right way grab some extra trash bins next time you're at the store. Place them in the kitchen and one near the toilet so guest wont be prompted to use the toilet as a garbage and cause a plumbing emergency.
