As the vibrant fall colors begin to paint the streets of Mandeville, residents eagerly anticipate the warmth and joy of Thanksgiving gatherings. While turkey and stuffing are undoubtedly the stars of the holiday feast, ensuring a clear drain is equally essential to a successful celebration. At DuPont Cooling, Heating and Plumbing, we understand the importance of a smoothly running plumbing system, especially during the holiday season when your home is bustling with activity. Our Thanksgiving Plumbing Prep Guide is here to help you avoid any unexpected plumbing mishaps, ensuring your festivities go off without a hitch.
The Importance of Pre-Holiday Plumbing Checks
Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends, and feasting, but it can also be a time of increased stress on your home’s plumbing system. With more people using the facilities and more food being prepared, the risk of clogs and other plumbing issues rises. A pre-holiday plumbing check can help identify potential problems before they become emergencies. At DuPont Cooling, Heating and Plumbing, we offer comprehensive plumbing services to ensure your system is in top shape.
Common Thanksgiving Plumbing Issues
- Clogged Drains: The combination of food scraps, grease, and other debris can easily lead to clogged drains. Avoid pouring grease down the sink and use a strainer to catch food particles.
- Garbage Disposal Overload: Overloading your garbage disposal with fibrous vegetables, bones, or large amounts of food can cause it to jam. Always run cold water while using the disposal and feed items slowly.
- Toilet Troubles: With more guests, toilets are used more frequently, increasing the chance of clogs. Ensure a plunger is handy and remind guests to only flush toilet paper.
- Water Heater Strain: Extra showers and dishwashing can put a strain on your water heater. Consider turning up the temperature slightly to accommodate the increased demand, but be cautious not to exceed 120°F to prevent scalding.
Preventive Measures for a Stress-Free Thanksgiving
- Schedule a Professional Inspection: Before the holiday rush, schedule a professional plumbing inspection with DuPont Cooling, Heating and Plumbing. Our experts can identify and address any issues, ensuring your system is ready for the increased usage.
