preventive plumbing tips

The holidays are a time for family, friends, and celebrations—but they can also bring unexpected plumbing stress. Hosting a big dinner, running multiple appliances, and entertaining guests can push your home's plumbing to the limit. That's why preventive plumbing is so important: a few proactive steps can save you money, stress, and major repairs during the holiday season.

Why Preventive Plumbing is Essential for Homeowners

Many homeowners wait until a plumbing issue becomes urgent-but that approach can be expensive and disruptive. By taking preventive action, you can:

  • Avoid emergency plumbing repairs: A leaking pipe or slow drain can quickly escalate into water damage.
  • Protect your holiday budget: Emergency plumbing services can cost hundreds—or even thousands—of dollars, whereas preventive care is far more affordable.

East At-Home Plumbing Tests

Even without a professional inspection, there are simple ways to monitor your home's plumbing:

  • Toilet leak test: Add a few drops of food coloring to the tank. If color appears in the bowl without flushing, you have a silent leak.
  • Drain flow check: Fill sinks and showers with water. Slow drainage may indicate partial clogs.
  • Inspect for leaks: Look under sinks, around appliances, and near water heaters for moisture or corrosion.
  • Check water pressure: Low water pressure can signal hidden leaks or sediment buildup.
  • Water heater maintenance: Ensure the temperature is set to 120°F and listen for unusual noises.

These simple checks help identify minor issues before they turn into expensive repairs.
