With all of the joy of the holiday season comes lots of potential plumbing problems!

Use these holiday plumbing tips to have a more relaxing Christmas holiday season! If you find yourself in a jam, call us 24/7 for any of your plumbing emergencies in Orange County!

Garbage Disposal Nightmares

The garbage disposal can be a very delicate plumbing appliance. When you put the wrong things in the garbage disposal, such as coffee grounds, large food items, and grease, it can cause your garbage disposal to clog or break. Try to avoid putting unwanted items down the disposal this weekend, and stick to soft food and non-oil-based liquids. This will ensure that your disposal runs smoothly for the holidays. When in doubt, clean the disposal by running it with hot water and dish soap.

Sewer Backups

Now a common toilet clog can usually be fixed using a plunger or other common DIY methods. But, with many people using your bathrooms this weekend, a deeper sewer clog could be a possibility. When you have a deeper clog down the sewer line, it can cause unwanted sewage backups into your toilets and drains. If you happen to smell sewage in your showers, bathtubs, or near your toilets, this could be a sign that you have a deeper sewer clog. This is a hard problem to fix on your own, so you should contact an emergency plumber to handle your sewer clog immediately!

Faucet Leaks

Your sink faucets are going to take a beating over the holidays. And, when your faucets are constantly being turned on and off, it lends itself to small faucet leaks around the tap. If you have a small faucet leak, it’s nothing to panic about. In fact, if your other sinks are working, then you can simply avoid using the leaky sink. And even if you have to use that sink, if the leak is not that serious, you can continue to do so and contact a plumber after the holidays.

If you happen to have a more serious leak where water is gushing from the faucet, then it is best to cut off the water supply under the sink by turning off the water valve and to contact a plumber right away. This can wait until after the festivities if you do not need that particular sink. If you do, contact our team right away so we can repair it for you!
