Prepare Your Home Plumbing for Guests

Summer is the season when close friends and family come to visit - don’t let your plumbing ruin a good time! Preparing your home for guests is more than just making them feel comfortable, it’s also about taking action to prevent potentially embarrassing problems. Before you welcome your visitors into your home, keep these plumbing preparation tips in mind:


Check the toilet flapper. Overtime, the toilet flapper can wear out and cause an annoying run or leak. For this reason, it’s important to replace the flapper to help keep everything flushing properly.

Clean the drains.
Flush out those drains before your guests arrive to prevent clogs and foul odors. One quick method you can try is to sprinkle baking soda in the drain, let it sit for a while, and turn on the hot water to wash it down.

Guard the garbage disposal.
Outdoor cookouts mean more work for your garbage disposal. Why? Because many people overestimate the power of this appliance. With that being said, keep fats, oils, and grease out of the disposal. Kindly ask your guests to throw it in the trash can or better yet, offer to do the cleaning up yourself.

Contact a professional.
Sometimes you need a little help taking care of the more complex plumbing issues, so call a plumber when you need one! These experts are trained and will be able to properly prevent or fix issues so that bigger problems don’t arise.
