The holiday season is a time for gathering with your friends and family, enjoying delicious food and joyous celebrations together, and sending out the year with a bang as we get ready for the new one! What it’s not a time for is plumbing problems. There are few moments that could be less opportune for a slow drain or clogged toilet to rear its ugly head than during a holiday party when you have people over. Not only can these issues be embarrassing for you and your guests, but they can throw a wrench into the workings of your party!
If this sounds like something you’d like to avoid this year, a plumbing inspection is an absolute must. These preventative visits can ensure that all of the fixtures and drains in your home are working as they should before the hustle and bustle of the holiday season begins. They’re also a great habit to build to help support the health of your home’s plumbing system throughout the year! Here are some of the benefits of scheduling a pre-holiday plumbing inspection.
Prevents Badly Timed Issues
Imagine the stress of your kitchen sink drain suddenly backing up while you’re washing the dishes from a huge holiday meal, or a leak springing underneath your bathroom sink while you’re entertaining a house full of guests. In a perfect world, plumbing issues like these would only ever arise when you’re home with plenty of free time to take care of them, but this isn’t a perfect world, and plumbing problems can sometimes seem like they actively choose the worst possible time to pop up.
The best way to control when you deal with your plumbing is to take a proactive approach instead of a reactive one. Inspection and maintenance visits from a plumber, especially before busy times of the year like the holidays, can help to bust clogs, find potential leaks, and stop other problems in their tracks before your guests ever arrive!
Optimizes Performance
It doesn’t matter who you are or what you celebrate– November and December are busy months of the year, and you need all hands on deck and all of your tools functioning properly to get through them. While it may not be the first thing that comes to your mind, your plumbing and fixtures are tools that you rely on in these moments, and the way they perform during the holidays can make or break your celebrations!
The difference between plumbing that’s working alright and plumbing that’s working perfectly is stark, and now is the time when it’s more important than ever to have the latter! You want your sinks draining fast, your garbage disposals running smoothly, and your pipes solid and reliable. Just like how you might take your car to be serviced before a long road trip, a plumbing inspection can ensure that everything is working properly before the holidays arrive!
Provides Peace of Mind
As much as the holidays are the “most wonderful time of the year,” they can also be a source of serious stress with the sheer amount that you have to get done. From cooking meals and baking treats to wrapping gifts and sending cards, your holiday to-do list can seem neverending. The last thing you need on top of all of that is to be worrying about your plumbing! If you’re unsure whether or not your pipes and fixtures will make it through the next few weeks without a mishap, you’re simply adding extra stress to your plate that you don’t need.
A pre-holiday plumbing inspection can be the key to easing that stress and providing you with peace of mind– something that’s worth more than any holiday gift!
