The Christmas season is just around the corner! Whether you’re hosting family and friends or just enjoying a quiet holiday at home, the last thing you want is a plumbing disaster disrupting your celebrations. To help you prepare, we’ve put together this handy holiday plumbing checklist.
By following these simple tips, you can ensure your plumbing is in top shape and avoid any unexpected surprises. Let Regency Plumbing take the stress out of your holiday season with expert advice and services.
Holiday Plumbing Tips for Auckland Homeowners!
1. Inspect Your Plumbing Fixtures
Before the holiday rush, take a walk through your home and inspect your taps, showers, and toilets for leaks or drips. A dripping tap might seem minor, but it can quickly escalate with increased usage over the holidays.
Fixing these small issues early not only saves water but also keeps your plumbing running smoothly when guests arrive. If you’re unsure about a problem, our team at Regency Plumbing can help with professional inspections.
2. Service Your Water Heater
Imagine running out of hot water while hosting holiday guests—it’s a scenario no one wants to face! To avoid this, have your water heater serviced before the holidays.
Regular maintenance ensures your system is operating efficiently and can handle the increased demand. Thinking about an upgrade? Now is the perfect time to install a Rheem or Rinnai system, and Regency Plumbing can help you choose the best option for your home.
3. Prep Your Kitchen Plumbing
The kitchen is the heart of holiday gatherings, which means extra strain on your plumbing. To keep your sink and garbage disposal working efficiently:
- Avoid grease blockages: Pour leftover grease into a container rather than down the drain.
- Use the garbage disposal correctly: Avoid putting fibrous or starchy foods like potato peels down the disposal.
If your kitchen sink is prone to blockages, consider a pre-holiday drain clean to avoid issues when you’re cooking up a storm.
4. Check Outdoor Plumbing
Outdoor taps and hoses can be easy to overlook, but they’re just as important. Check for leaks or drips and ensure everything is in working order, especially if you’ll be entertaining outdoors.
If you have a garden irrigation system, make sure it’s operating correctly. It’s also a great time to review your water usage and make adjustments to save on your water bill.
5. Be Ready for Emergencies
Even with the best preparation, plumbing emergencies can happen. Make sure you have Regency Plumbing’s contact details saved and easily accessible. We offer reliable emergency plumbing services in Auckland, so help is just a call away if you need it.
