The Holidays Are Tough on Kitchen Plumbing

Get the Kitchen Ready for Thanksgiving Visitors and More!

The kitchen is the heart of the home. Most, if not all, of the family gatherings happen there- whether for breakfast, lunch, or Thanksgiving Dinner. As a whole, the kitchen is expected to work flawlessly at any given time and on a daily basis. When the kitchen isn’t working properly, it can pose a safety hazard for the family because they can’t get the proper food they need or efficiently clean their dishes afterward. During the holidays, Woodland homeowners must ensure that the kitchen appliances and plumbing system are up to speed and ready for the influx of guests.

Those looking for the top tips to prepare their kitchen for the holidays, continue reading below.

The Tops Signs That a Faucet Needs To Be Replaced

Sometimes the faucet gets the least amount of credit or attention, but it needs just as much maintenance and attention as any other appliance in the kitchen. When it is time for faucet replacement, chances are the faucet that’s in the kitchen sink will begin to express some signs and symptoms.

These common signs include:

• It won’t stop dripping water
• It’s rusty or corroded
• Some parts are damaged
• It squeaks to turn on or off

A damaged kitchen faucet might not seem like a big deal on a regular day, but the holidays are a different story. If the homeowner doesn’t have their faucet replaced before guests arrive, it could mean a kitchen full of dirty dishes and no way to clean them once all have gone home. That is why it is important to stay on top of the kitchen maintenance and repairs before the holidays hit.

Show off a Little With a New Kitchen Sink

Maybe there is nothing wrong with the kitchen plumbing aside from the fact that there is a huge eyesore of a kitchen sink sitting right in the middle of it. For many, the holidays are the best excuse to indulge and buy that new appliance they’ve been dreaming of. And for some, that dream is a new kitchen sink.

Whether the goal is to impress a particularly picky relative or to simply modernize the space for the holidays, investing in a new kitchen sink can end up saving the homeowner money on their water bill in the end. With all the high-efficiency and long-lasting sinks on the market nowadays, they are hard to pass up!

Tips for Preparing the Garbage Disposal

Preparing a garbage disposal for the holidays might seem a little over the top, but in reality, the holidays can be stressful for a garbage disposal. Chances are, it isn’t used to all the added stress and work it gets during the holidays, which can lead to any number of problems later on.

Below are a few tips to consider before the holidays:

• Ensuring the drain is cleaned prior
• Call a professional to make sure the blade is sharp and running efficiently
• Having professional maintenance done

Aside from these three tips, the main thing a homeowner can do to prepare their garbage disposal is to ask their guests to be mindful of what they let fall down the sink. The less the disposal is in use, the better it’ll be.
