Is Your Plumbing System Prepared for the Holidays

It’s safe to assume a plumbing catastrophe isn’t on your holiday wish list. In order to avoid the unexpected need for a plumber in Dublin, OH during the festivities, include preparing your plumbing system on your holiday to-do list. Here’s what the DrainMaster team recommends you do to get your home’s plumbing system holiday-ready.

Clean Slow Drains

Slow drains can quickly become fully backed up enough to warrant emergency plumbing service. If you want to avoid this possibility while you are busy entertaining, baking, or cooking, pour hot water and baking soda or vinegar down your drains. If this doesn’t help much, give us a call to schedule a thorough and safe cleaning.

Install/Use Drain Strainers

Don’t forget to install or use drain strainers during the holidays. Strainers can minimize issues with food and other debris that could otherwise get into your drains. Fortunately, there are many types of strainers for drains, most of which fit easily into place or on top of the drain itself.

Get Your Disposal Ready

Further, avoid the need for holiday plumbing repairs by preparing your garbage disposal for some extra holiday-related use. A simple way you can do this is to mix rock salt with ice and water as you run your disposal. What this does is sharpen the blades and clean inside parts.

Put Garbage Cans in Kitchens and Bathrooms

Subtly discourage your guests from putting things down drains that could cause clogs by making garbage cans easily accessible. This can be especially helpful if you put waste baskets next to the toilets in your bathrooms and by food prep areas in or near the kitchen.

DrainMaster is the plumbing company to call on if your plumbing system needs some attention before you focus on your holiday happenings. We can lend a hand with everything from routine repairs to professional drain cleanings.
