Preparing Your Plumbing For The Holiday Season: A Checklist

December 4, 2024

With the holiday season upon us, you are likely to have more guests around than usual. It's important that your home's plumbing system is in top shape to avoid any unexpected problems. Here's a handy checklist to help you prepare your plumbing for the holiday season.


1. Check for Leaks


Start by inspecting your pipes for any leaks. It's always best to catch these issues early before they lead to bigger problems. If you notice any moisture or drip marks, it's time to call Wade Roberts Plumbing for a professional inspection.


2. Ensure Your Drains are Clear


A clogged drain can slow down your holiday festivities. Make sure all your drains are clear and running smoothly. If you notice any slow running or completely clogged drains, our drain cleaning service can help.


3. Inspect Your Water Heater


With more guests in your home, your water heater will be working extra hard. Make sure it's up to the task by scheduling a preventive maintenance service. If your water heater is old and inefficient, consider upgrading to a newer, more efficient model.


4. Prepare Your Kitchen Plumbing


Your kitchen will likely be the heart of your home during the holiday season. To prevent any issues, avoid pouring fats, oils, or grease down the drain as they can cause severe clogs. Also, remember to run water while using the garbage disposal.


5. Check Your Bathroom Plumbing


Ensure that your toilets are flushing properly and your sinks and showers are draining well. If there's a problem, it's better to fix it now before you have a houseful of guests.


6. Inspect Your Outdoor Plumbing


Make sure outdoor faucets are turned off and hoses are disconnected and stored for the winter. Neglected outdoor plumbing can cause major issues, so do not overlook this step.


7. Stock Up On Plumbing Supplies


Having a plunger on hand can save you from a potentially embarrassing situation. It's also a good idea to have drain cleaner and a pipe wrench just in case.


As you prepare for the holiday season, remember that taking a few preventive steps can save you from a holiday plumbing disaster. And if you do encounter any plumbing issues, don't hesitate to reach out to Wade Roberts Plumbing.
