Holiday Plumbing Tips for a Stress-Free Season

The holidays are a busy time for kitchens and bathrooms. With guests visiting and large meals being prepared, plumbing systems often experience extra strain.

Here are a few holiday plumbing tips to prevent clogs and plumbing emergencies.

Never Pour Grease Down the Drain

Cooking grease solidifies in pipes and can cause severe drain clogs. Instead, allow grease to cool and dispose of it in the trash.

Use Your Garbage Disposal Carefully

Avoid putting fibrous foods like celery, potato peels, or bones into the disposal.

Spread Out Water Usage

Running the dishwasher, washing machine, and showers at the same time can overload your plumbing system.

Be Prepared for Minor Clogs

Keep a plunger handy in bathrooms where guests will be staying.
