If you are having guests over for the holidays, frozen pipes may just end up being the least of your worries. Why? An influx of guests has the potential to cause hot water shortages, stopped up toilets and clogged drains. Good thing plumbers in Brooklyn can help resolve those problems before the “Ho Ho Ho” turns into “Oh No No No!”. Here are a few festive recommendations to help you get started.
Do consider having your home’s hot water heater serviced before the holiday guests arrive. Having it serviced in advance may eliminate or reduce hot water shortages as well as unexpected leaks. It may also be beneficial to consider replacing old, inefficient heaters. After all, installing a new one will likely put extra money in your holiday stocking.
Do not forget that hard water may indirectly cause toilet problems to occur. The tiny, mineral crystals may clump together and constrict water flow or cause mechanisms inside of toilet tanks to degrade. So, it might be necessary to install new toilets or water softeners to head off future plumbing disasters. The same may be said for shower heads.
Do keep an eye on your household’s drains. It is very easy for hot cooking grease or other unwanted items to quickly end up in a kitchen drain. And we all know that will lead to clogs. Also, do not forget the drains people rarely see, like the one that empties into the basement sump pump or the refrigerator’s drip pan. They should be checked by plumbers in Brooklyn too.
