At J Griffin Heating and Plumbing, we believe that the only thing that should be overflowing this Valentine’s Day is love for your significant other. Though plumbing may not be the most romantic topic, it’s important to discuss. An overflowing toilet or clogged drain can ruin any day, and that’s why we want to share with you ways to show your plumbing some love this Valentine’s Day.
- Insulate Your Pipes: To avoid becoming a victim of frozen pipes this winter, consider adding insulation to pipes located in unheated areas such as attics, basements, garages, or crawlspaces. Not only does this help protect against freezing, but it can also keep your hot water hot and save you money on monthly water bills.
- Fix Leaks Right Away: Leaky faucets and running toilets not only waste water but can also cause extensive water damage over time. That’s why it’s important to have leaks repaired right away, no matter how big or small.
- Know Where The ShutOff Valves Are Located: In the event of a plumbing emergency or the need to clean out sewer lines, it’s important to know where the shutoff valves are located before an emergency strikes.
- Repair Clogged Drains: Clogged drains can ruin any mood, especially when trying to cook a romantic dinner. Instead of using chemical drain cleaners which can cause serious damage to pipes, schedule a professional drain cleaning appointment with J Griffin Heating and Plumbing.
- Take Preventative Measures: Your plumbing system deserves love all year long. One of the best ways to show it love is to prevent problems from happening in the first place. Avoid putting fats, grease, oil, disposable diapers, feminine products, paper towels, coffee grounds, bones, eggshells, paints or chemicals, potato peels, fibrous foods, rice or pasta down the drain or into your septic system.
- Schedule Plumbing Inspection: Consider a plumbing inspection like a spa day for your plumbing system. While there are many plumbing maintenance tasks you can handle on your own, some require professional assistance. Schedule an appointment with us at J Griffin Heating and Plumbing for a professional inspection. Not only can it save you money in the long run, but it can also help catch small problems early before they become much bigger.
