The holidays will soon be arriving, so you are likely planning parties and get-togethers with friends and family. You have a lot of things to think about when planning upcoming holiday festivities, and troubles with your residence’s plumbing might not be high on the list. Unfortunately, plumbing troubles don’t follow preferred dates on the calendar, and a sink could overflow on the least convenient day of the year. Preventive maintenance can keep problems from getting out of hand at a bad time. We recommend investing in drain cleaning services before your holiday parties. Here are a few reasons why the investment can be a good one.
Drain Clogs at Bad Times Ruin Parties
You likely want your party to run smoothly, but an unexpected plumbing emergency could totally ruin it. An overflowing sink or a slow drain won’t accommodate your guests, which could be embarrassing. Besides ruining the party, a plumbing mishap can leave a bad impression of the host. People may think you aren’t taking care of your house.
Avoid Unsanitary Conditions
Imagine if a bathroom drain clogged and guests had to see several days’ worth of hair from shaving coming out the opening and floating in the water that won’t go down. Putting an “out of order” sign on your bathroom door won’t likely be an option to address such a disaster. Adding to such a calamity is the fact that clogged drains could become a breeding ground for bacteria. Exposing guests to potential bacteria from a clogged or slow drain is hazardous and embarrassing.
Prevent Foul Smells
The drain does not need to overflow to cause problems, as odors from the drain could come up through its opening. You might become used to the odors and not notice them, but a guest could pick up on the same and find it repugnant. Bad smells may emanate from a drain that doesn’t suffer from a severe clog, but residue in a clogged pipe can make its presence known even more unpleasantly.
Keeping Focused on the Party and Guests
When running a holiday party, you likely want to spend more time with your guests and ensure they enjoy themselves. You’ll also be more interested in monitoring entertainment, meal serving, gift-giving, and other holiday festivities. Dealing with plumbing mishaps creates a troubling distraction and takes you away from hosting duties.
Preserving the Plumbing System
Taking preventive steps to deal with clogged drains may prevent other damage from plaguing the sewer drains. A drain cleaning also allows a skilled plumber to see if anything else is wrong and recommend a necessary fix.
Clogged Drains Are Hazardous
Negligence-related problems can also arise when clogs and plumbing mishaps occur. For example, someone could fall and get hurt if a sink overflows and creates a slippery floor. Multitasking during parties can result in slow responses to messes in bathrooms and kitchens, making it harder to prevent accidents.
