Have the Best 4th of July Party on the Block!
After a year-plus of being cooped up away from friends and family, everyone is ready to get their party on this summer. Amid the careful planning of food, games for both kids and adults, and beverage options, it's a good idea to ensure the home is also ready for an influx of guests. Sudden spikes in water usage can take a toll on a house's plumbing and one's wallet.
Invest in a Garbage Disposal
"Remember that party where the sink backed up?" Don't let that be how this BBQ gets remembered. Bite the bullet and install that garbage disposal that keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the wish list. Installing a garbage disposal will save time and reduce maintenance costs and save money in the long run.
- A properly maintained garbage disposal can last ten years or more. Not only will this help to stretch the initial investment, but it will also lower costs on garbage bags since there won't be as much waste getting thrown out. Not to mention the time-saving benefits of rinsing plates in the sink instead of scraping.
- Garbage disposals improve the integrity of the pipes. Despite every effort, food will always end up down the sink when washing dishes. A garbage disposal will catch the waste and grind it up before going into the pipes, instead of larger pieces getting stuck and backing up. It will also reduce the number of times the plumber needs to be called in for maintenance, further saving hard-earned dollars.
Get All Gas Lines Checked for Peace of Mind
Natural gas is used to heat the home, outdoor pool, power the stove, charge the generator, and run other appliances. It is crucial to have all gas lines regularly checked to ensure no leaks or damaged hoses.
Gas lines buried in the yard can be compromised due to settling, tree roots, and corrosion. Leaks can cause the monthly gas bill to spike since more gas is required to perform every task. Gas leaks also lead to explosions in the home, potentially damaging the house and even causing a hazard to the family. Call the local plumber to check for leaks and ensure both family and guests will be safe this Independence Day.
Is the Bathroom Ready To Receive Guests?
Noticed the toilet has been clogging more frequently? Is there less water pressure in the shower? These are small but significant signs that something may be wrong. There may be a clog just waiting for the worst possible time to back up into the bathroom. Or a cracked pipe that needs to be replaced.
Backups or leaks in the bathroom can sometimes take a while to notice, allowing time for flooding to do some real damage to floors, ceilings, electrical, and even the home's structure. Call a local plumber to take a look, and breathe easy knowing that everything is in top condition when guests arrive.
