DIY Holiday Plumbing Tips
Here are a few do-it-yourself plumbing tricks to keep things flowing smoothly:
- Don’t pour grease or oil down the drain. Let it cool and dispose of it in the trash.
- Use a strainer over the drain. This will catch food particles and hair that could clog the drain.
- Run cold water when using the garbage disposal. This will help solidify grease and make it easier for the disposal to chop it up.
- Insulate pipes in unheated areas. This includes pipes in basements, attics, and crawl spaces.
- Avoid putting fibrous vegetables, coffee grounds, or eggshells down the disposal. These can create clogs.
- Let faucets drip slowly on very cold nights. This will help keep the pipes from freezing.
- Be mindful of what you flush down the toilet. No flushing wipes or feminine products.
- Keep a plunger and a plumber’s snake handy. These can be used to clear minor clogs.

DIY Holiday HVAC Tips
Don’t let a broken furnace put a cold spell on your holidays:
- Change your air filters: Clean air filters improve indoor air quality and reduce strain on your system.
- Clean your vents: Remove any obstructions to ensure optimal airflow.
- Program your thermostat: Set it to energy-efficient temperatures when you’re away or sleeping.
- Be mindful of extra heat sources: If you’re using fireplaces or other heating sources, adjust your thermostat accordingly to prevent overheating.
- Don’t overload your system: Excessive use of appliances and lights can increase the demand on your HVAC system.
- Schedule a professional HVAC inspection. A heating tune-up helps ensure your system is running efficiently and identifies potential issues before they become major problems.
