Making Sure Your NYC Home’s Plumbing is Ready for the Holidays

October 26, 2016 by Boris Mechanical

As October draws to a close, we begin the holiday season. You know what that means. Friends and relatives from all around the country will come to visit you, staying in your place, using your plumbing, as they take in everything Manhattan has to offer in terms of shopping and holiday entertainment. In order to avoid calling for emergency plumbing service, take these steps ahead of time to be sure your home is truly ready for guests.

1) Establish House Rules

Back home, people may blithely flush whatever they’d like down the toilet and scrape every bit of food garbage down the sink. Let them know in your place things work differently. Inappropriately flushed items account for more than 90% of household plumbing clogs. Make it clear what needs to go in a trash can and what can go down the drain. A little direction up front can save you a lot of heartache later when you discover Uncle Bob put half a pumpkin into the garbage disposal!

2) Drain Cleaning in Advance

Having your NYC plumber clean kitchen and bathroom drains in advance of your company’s arrival will ensure your plumbing works perfectly, without any worries about suspicious, nasty odors coming from the pipes. Most NYC homes need drain cleaning performed every couple of years as part of a normal household maintenance routine: if you can’t remember the last time you had your drains cleaned, schedule a service call now.

3) Have Phone Numbers Ready

If nothing else, you’re going to want to know who to call in case you do have a problem with your plumbing during your company’s visit. Identify plumbing companies in NYC that offer 24/7 emergency service. You have a little time: do some research and make sure you’ve picked a company with an excellent reputation. Keep their number somewhere you can get to it easily. Hopefully you won’t need this information, but if you do, you’ll know who to call!
