Prevent a Plumbing Emergency

There are many scary things that a homeowner will have to deal with. Homes can experience problems and expenses that can cause frighteningly high repair bills. A plumbing emergency is no different. As the weather cools off and everyone takes some time to enjoy the start of the season, the last thing that homeowners need is a trick from the plumbing during Halloween trick-or-treating. 

This year, before festivities begin, take a moment and assess the health of the plumbing in the house. Plumbing issues could derail Halloween plans, so homeowners should follow this advice to prevent problems and preserve Halloween fun. 

Keep Drains Clean 

Halloween parties and scary movie nights are the highlights of this season. Instead of stifling summer cookouts, homeowners now prefer to host cozy feasts to celebrate the change of seasons. However, no host wants to deal with a kitchen or bathroom sink that won’t drain. The haunting sounds of a gurgling drain are enough to strike fear into the heart of every party host. 

Drains clog for various reasons, but homeowners would do well to keep things besides water from going down drains. Two things, in particular, are common causes of clogged drains: hair and grease. Hair enters plumbing through sinks and bathtubs and can easily clog the drain if not dealt with periodically or stopped with hair traps. On the other hand, grease typically enters the plumbing through the kitchen sink but should instead be discarded in the trash. 

After clogs have formed, actions can still be taken to restore peace to the home. Professional drain cleaning can get rid of stubborn clogs, as well as be used to prevent them. Additionally, homeowners may try to prevent clogs with baking soda and vinegar. Avoid chemical drain cleaners since they contain dangerous chemicals that often do more harm than good. 

Prevent Clogged Toilets

Clogged toilets are usually the result of misuse when too much toilet paper is flushed, the sewer line is clogged, or items other than toilet paper are flushed and forced into the sewer line. 

Homeowners can help prevent clogs by offering a wastebasket to keep non-flushable items out of toilets and encouraging guests to flush multiple times if necessary to avoid flushing too much toilet paper at once. A professional drain cleaning method, hydrojetting, can also help prevent clogged toilets caused by sewer line clogs. When a sewer line is clogged, it can cause the toilet to clog frequently, so by cleaning out the sewer line, clogs in the line can be avoided.   

Water Heater Maintenance is Important

Homeowners should never neglect water heater maintenance to avoid being forced to take cold showers. Water heater maintenance is a professional service that can help homeowners get the most from their water heater. After a plumber performs water heater maintenance, homeowners can expect benefits like:

  • More hot water availability
  • Quicker recovery of hot water
  • Cheaper utility bills
  • Longer lifespan of the water heater
  • Fewer repairs
