How to Prevent Plumbing Problems During Holiday Travel

The holiday season is here!  For many busy families, this means traveling to visit loved ones.  Before you leave for your holiday getaway or your road trip to visit family, make sure that you take some time to prep your home plumbing.  

You'll want to make sure that your home is safe and sound while you're away, especially on cold winter nights!  These tips will help you prevent plumbing problems during holiday travel.

Holiday Travel Tips:

• Don't Turn Off Your Heat - You might be tempted to turn your heat down to save money and energy while you're away, but during the winter months this can put you at risk of costly plumbing damage.  When the temperatures drop at night, your plumbing pipes can freeze and burst, leaving you with a water damage mess and in need of new pipes.
• Turn Off Your Water - In the unfortunate event you do have a plumbing problem while away, it's important that your water is turned off.  This will prevent any flooding or damage while you are gone.
• Have Someone Check In - Have a trusted friend or neighbor keep an eye on your house while you're gone.  If there are any problems - they can check in and let you know.  They can help you prevent any damage before it becomes a bigger problem.
