The Winter Drain Tips Every Property Owner Should Know
At this time of year most of us are putting up the Christmas decorations, frantically shopping to find the perfect gift and consuming more food and drink than is ideal. So, with budgets stretched and time being a luxury none of us can afford, a drainage issue is the last thing we need.
At TWC Draincare we love Christmas, but we also know it’s one of the busiest times of the year for drainage dramas. Between festive feasts, extra house guests, the winter weather and businesses working at full tilt, your drains are currently working harder than Santa on Christmas Eve.
So here are some top tips from the TWC Draincare team to stop your drains behaving like naughty elves this festive season:
Watch the Grease Grinch
Turkey fat, roast potato oil, gravy… it’s a festive fatberg waiting to happen. Once it hits cold pipes, it solidifies faster than you can say “pass the pigs in blankets.” Instead let fats cool, scrape them into the bin, and never pour them down the sink.
Keep Your Drains off the Naughty List
Leaves, branches and debris can build up quickly with all the strong winds and heavy rain. A simple winter clean up will prevents blockages when you need drainage flow most. If you’d rather not venture outside in the cold, we get it. That’s what our engineers (and their very warm vans) are here for.
Beware of the Christmas Excess
More guests = more showers, more loo flushes, more… everything. A small underlying issue can soon become a full-on festive fiasco. So, don’t wait until Christmas to find out your pipes are plotting against you. Book a Look See Survey today as we’ll soon help identify any isolated problems.
