How to Fend Off Holiday Plumbing Horrors

The holiday season is fast approaching and it’s that time of the year where our minds are focused on relaxing and catching up with family members rather than keep up with our plumbing system. Well, the latter would have been the least of our priorities if this had been taken care of. So it is but a wise idea to check your household for signs of any plumbing issues.

 First off, having a calm mindset will help you think properly.  There is no need to panic as this will only cause more trouble. Keep in mind that for every problem, there is always a solution to it and if resolving household plumbing horrors is beyond your capacity, there is always someone skilled enough that you can call on to.

 When you spot leaks, look for the main shut-off valve and turn it off immediately. Water leaks are caused by many things from damaged pipes to broken faucets. You may use pipe repair clamps if you think it can manage the holes or leaks. If the hot water heater in your house stops functioning, it’s possible that the heating element may have been busted. Call an expert to have the heater checked right away. Never procrastinate addressing water heating problems at your house to avoid serious damage in your heater.

 Aside from the water heater, toilets may also get clogged and when this happens, it gives homeowner headaches. Unfortunately, this is an unavoidable situation. Any toiled can get clogged eventually and we can only hope this does not take place at a time when we are with special guests at our abode. A plunger is definitely a handy tool that you can keep in your household. When you are experiencing a backed up toilet, never flush it because it will only add more problem rather than fix it. If you flush your clogged toilet, water actually is sent down to other drains in your house causing increased pressure on the water that is coming out on your toilet. If the task of fixing clogged toilet is too overwhelming for you, call your trusted local plumber.

 One last situation that you do not want to encounter during the holiday season is having a clogged drain. Some helpful tips that you can use when you can try putting a cup of water and a half cup of baking soda then pour it down the drain. Then pour a cup of vinegar. You can also use chemicals or store-bought drain cleaners and be extra cautious when pouring it on the clogged drain. Make sure you follow the instructions provided. If all else fails, don’t hesitate to contact a residential plumber.
