How to Prepare Your Plumbing for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is just one week away! Before you dig in with family and friends, consider this: Is your home’s plumbing ready for house guests?

Prep Your Plumbing for Thanksgiving - Plumber Carmel, IN

We at Service Plus Heating, Cooling & Plumbing have put together the following checklist to help you get prepared for the big holiday:

  • Give your fixtures a checkup. You don’t want to end up with a clog, leak or other preventable plumbing issue on Thanksgiving Day! Check faucets, shower heads and other plumbing fixtures throughout your kitchen and bathrooms beforehand.
  • Buy a plunger (or two). This is especially important if you’re expecting guests. Leave a plunger by each toilet to prevent a potentially embarrassing situation. You should also have a waste bin in each bathroom to encourage proper disposal of used tissues, cotton balls and other trash.
  • Write down important numbers. The thing about emergencies is that they’re rarely (if ever) expected. What would you do if you ran out of hot water or experienced a sewer system backup this Thanksgiving? Keep our number handy in case of a plumbing crisis: [csa_client_dni].
