The 4th of July is a time for celebration with family and friends. But if you’re not careful, it can also be a time when your plumbing system gets overwhelmed. That’s why we’ve put together these tips from the pros to help you avoid any issues.
Follow these simple steps, and you will be able to enjoy your holiday without having to worry about your plumbing!
Clear Slow Drains:
Parties and barbecues often involve a lot of dishes, and if you have slow drains, that can complicate your cleaning process and even cause your sinks to overflow. If you’re going to be having people over for Independence Day, then now is a good time to clear them out. Properly trained technicians, like the ones at Roberts Plumbing, can safely and effectively clear your drains, which will help prevent any clogs from forming and will keep your drains flowing freely.
Throw Away Scraps:
One of the main things you’ll want to avoid is putting any greasy or oily foods down your drains. This can cause a build-up of grease that will eventually lead to clogs. So instead, you and your guests should dispose of all food scraps in the trash.
Only Flush Toilet Paper:
The only thing that should ever be flushed down your toilet is toilet paper, which is why you should keep a wastebasket in your bathroom. By keeping a garbage can in the restroom, you will give guests somewhere to dispose of anything that shouldn’t go in your toilet and avoid having a clog potentially ruin your party.
Know Shutoff Valve’s Location:
Another thing to keep in mind is the location of your shutoff valve. If you have a main line clog, you’ll want to be able to shut off the water quickly to prevent any further damage. So take a minute to familiarize yourself with where your shutoff valve is located. This is also good to know just in general for most plumbing emergencies.
