Six Smart Winter Plumbing Tips for Christmas

Tips brought to you by:




Ah, the good old days, when we hauled water from the well or the river, and had to heat it over the woodstove if we wanted to wash dishes or have a nice, hot soak.   And let's not even get started on the idea of the outhouse.

Yup, the development of indoor plumbing has made our lives so much easier, no to mention, nicer.

It made life nicer for the ancient Egyptians, too, who used copper piping as far back as 3,000 years ago in their own version of indoor plumbing.  Interestingly, copper is still the top material for plumbing work.

Despite the various improvements since those Egyptian times, one thing remains a constant:  plumbing issues always seem to happen at the worst time - like when you have a house full of people over for dinner. 

While homeowners in warmer climates may not face the same winter plumbing issues as someone in the upper Midwest, they don't get off the hook, completely.  So here are some tips to keep things moving freely:




1.CLEAR THE GUTTERS
Leaves and other debris lay silently in your gutters, just waiting for a whole bunch of rain to mix things up with and create a gunky, clog-y mess. Once that happens, you can have some serious drainage problems on hand. Check your gutters during the fall and get ahead of a potential situation.
2.CHECK YOUR SUMP PUMP
Like poor drainage in the gutters, your sump pump can get easily overwhelmed by heavy rains. Clear out any debris from the sump pit and test it by throwing a bucket of water into it to see if it clicks on and off normally.
3.GIVE YOUR WATER HEATER A HAND
Water heaters get more of a workout in cooler months. Help it along by spacing out showers by 10 minutes each. Run your dishwasher and washing machine at night (that also saves on your energy bill). It's also a good idea to drain your water heater every few years, because sediment can build up, creating damaging rust. And an exploding water heater is the last thing you want to deal with - at any time of year.
4.CHECK FOR LEAKS
Take some time to look for drips or puddles in the kitchen, bathroom and laundry room. Yes, they're annoying, but they're also super-wasteful: a single faucet with one drip per second wastes over 3,000 gallons per year - enough for 180 showers.
5.DRAIN LAWN SPRINKLER AND POOL LINES
If a sudden freeze hits (and with the changing climate, you never know), it could result in a tear to those supply lines. Drain and close them. The same goes for outdoor hoses and faucets.
6.BE KIND TO YOUR KITCHEN SINK
No matter what part of the country you live in, we tend to do a lot of holiday entertaining - and to eat heavier foods - during winter months. Think "gravy," "butter," "grease" and "oil." They may make for delicious dishes, but dumping recipe remnants down your drain or garbage disposal can seriously clog things up. Wipe greasy stuff out of the pan using paper towels. When using your disposal, run cold water for 15 seconds before and after to keep things moving. Finally, avoid putting "stringy" things down it, like banana peels, celery or chicken skin. That's one sure way to gum things up.
