As you get ready for your Christmas celebrations, keep in mind how to protect your home from plumbing and HVAC issues.
- Take care where you dispose of your meat grease. Dumping this down the drain will almost certainly cause it to solidify and clog your drains. Instead, pour into a separate container and allow to harden before discarding or saving for future cooking!
- Invest in drain guards to prevent hair, food particles, and other foreign things from clogging drains.
- Do not use chemical drain cleaners! If you need help unclogging drains, contact a plumber. Drain cleaners can harm your plumbing by producing corrosion, generating heat that produces harmful fumes, damaging the septic tank, cracking porcelain, and pushing drains deeper into pipes.
- Make sure your visitors know that you should never flush anything other than toilet paper down the toilet!
- Change the air filter in the HVAC system.
- Call De Hart Plumbing Heating & Cooling for your after hours emergencies throughout the holiday weekend!
