Brace for the summer break with these five plumbing tips from Auckland's BT Plumbing & Gas Ltd.
Whether you’ve got the family coming over to your house this Christmas, or you’re going away for a summer holiday, there are plumbing matters to be mindful of.
“In the rush and excitement of the festive season, things like your plumbing can easily be overlooked,” says BT Plumbing & Gas Ltd.
“But you don’t want to get caught out. Christmas is a time for family and celebration, not unnecessary stress.”
Here are a few tips to enjoy a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the friendly team at BT Plumbing & Gas Ltd.
Get niggly plumbing issues fixed now. You don’t want that minor leak you’ve been putting off to become a fountain smack bang in the middle of your holiday.
Don’t overload your drain. If the family’s staying at your place over summer it can put added pressure on your plumbing. Keep a bin for food scraps in the kitchen and sanitary items in the bathroom to divert additional waste from going down the drain.
Go easy on your waste disposal unit. As authorised InSinkErator service agents, BT Plumbing & Gas Ltd says the units can be working overtime during the festive season. Avoid putting stubborn food scraps in the disposal and run plenty of water.
Check your gas bottles. The last thing you want is for the BBQ or stove to run out of gas in the middle of cooking Christmas dinner.
If you’re going away, turn off your water mains. This can help prevent potential leaks and flooding - something no one wants to come home to. It also doesn’t hurt to switch off your hot water to save on money.
If anything does go wrong, don’t hesitate to contact BT Plumbing & Gas Ltd, servicing all of Auckland.
