Clear hair from bathroom drains

Use your FOGO bin for food scraps

Reduce Your Risk of a Plumbing Emergency Over Christmas

Whether a blocked drain, a burst pipe, a strange odour or something else entirely, no one wants to deal with a plumbing emergency at Christmas.

Thankfully, there are many ways to reduce the risk of having a plumbing issue at this time of year.

Put A Bin In Your Bathrooms and Toilets

This is a cheap easy solution that saves you the risk of any blockages if someone decides they need to get rid of a sanitary item discreetly. There’s nothing more embarrassing than a blocked pipe due to something being flushed that should not have been.

If everyone showers one after the other, this can put a lot of strain on your water pipes. Having staggered showers such as having 20 minutes between each shower can really help a lot.

Turn Off Water Mains If You Are Travelling

Going away for Christmas? What a great plan!

If you are only going for a short time, you can turn off the valves on your washing machine and dishwasher.

If you are going for a longer period of time, then consider turning your water off at the mains. This will prevent stressing about your home or to risk getting a worried call from your neighbour. Or even worse, a flooded home, turning off your water supply at the mains will make sure you don’t need to come home in a hurry
