With the holidays right around the corner, you may be thinking about family, friends, and food. With all the merriment and gift giving, the last thing you want to deal with is a major plumbing emergency. A holiday 24-hour plumber may need to be called for several reasons. Luckily for residents in and around the Atlanta area, Estes Services offers holiday plumbing services 24 hours a day!
Kitchen
Kitchens are one of the busiest rooms in a home during the holidays. With so many meals being planned, prepped, and cooked, it’s easy to see how plumbing problems could arise quickly. There are several kinds of food and products that can get sucked down the drain causing a major blockage in your lines. Grease, paper towels, small bones, coffee grounds, and stringy foods don’t break down on their own when combined with water. A clogged drain due to any of these items results in the need for holiday plumbing services to get your lines flowing smoothly.
Bathroom
Bathrooms can be another place where holiday plumbing services are warranted if you aren’t careful. Toilets can become clogged and potentially overflow into your home. With sewage and dirty water backing up into your bathroom, you will need to contact a holiday 24-hour plumber immediately. A clog may indicate a more serious problem in the sewer lines leading from your home to the sewer drains outside. Holiday plumbing services can also treat a slow drain in your bathroom sink, bathtub, or shower. A 24-hour plumber is equipped with a commercial drain cleaner that is powerful enough to dislodge many types of blockages.
Helpful Tips to Prevent Plumbing Emergencies
Below are just a few suggestions that might prevent the need for future holiday plumbing services for your home:
- Utilize strainers in the kitchen sink to stop items from falling down the drain
- Run cold water down the drain for 30 seconds longer after using the garbage disposal
- Run the dishwasher and washing machine at night to get the best water pressure
- Adjust the temperature on your water heater to accommodate daily showering for the size of your family while conserving energy
- Always know where the water shut off valve is and how to turn it off
Holiday plumbing services can be expensive and aren’t always avoidable. For the best plumbing services in and around the Atlanta area, contact Estes Services! Our holiday 24-hour plumbers can put your mind at ease with excellent customer service and quality workmanship.
