New Year, New Habits: The Smart Homeowner’s Plumbing Checklist
>Hot Grease, Cold Mess! 🍳❄️
Grease may slide down the drain, but when it cools, it clogs pipes. Let it cool in a container, toss it in the trash, and keep your plumbing clear this winter!
>Keep Your Pipes Clean with a Drain Screen 💧💇♂️
Install a drain screen in your shower or sink to catch hair and soap scum before they clog your pipes. It’s a small step for smooth plumbing!
>Keep Pipes Cozy with Insulation ❄️🛠️
Insulate exposed pipes in basements, attics, and garages to prevent freezing and bursts. A little warmth now saves headaches later!
>Open Cabinet Doors to Keep Pipes Warm! 🚪❄️
Open kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors during freezing weather to allow warm air around pipes and prevent freezing.
>Keep Your Drains Happy—Trash the Waste, Not the Sink! 🚯🚿Toss food scraps, coffee grounds, and waste in the trash to prevent clogs. Your pipes will thank you!
>Regular Maintenance with Pipers! 🛠️💧
Call us to schedule regular plumbing and heating maintenance to keep everything running smoothly all winter long!
>Shut the Hose Bib and Protect Your Vents 🚿❄️
Make sure outside hose bibs are shut off to prevent freezing.
>Keep Heating Appliance Vents Clear of Snow! ❄️🔥
Make sure heating vents outside are not blocked by snow to avoid gas entering your home.
