Celebrate National Bubble Bath Day!

It's National Bubble Bath Day!  

Now that it's finally cold out, a nice, warm bubble bath is the perfect way to relax at the end of a long work week.  Here are a few ways to make your next bath a little bit more spa-like.

Play your favorite music. Listening to your favorite artist, radio station or song can be a great way to relax.  Add some tunes to your bath to make your bubble bath even more relaxing.  Of course, be sure to keep all electrical devices away from the tub.

Read a book.  If you have the time, sit down and read a book while you soak in the bubble bath.  Just try not to get it wet!

Add essential oils.  Lavender, eucalyptus and rose oil are known for their relaxing scents.  Add a few drops to your bath to make your bathroom smell great!

Use a bath pillow.  Inflatable bath pillows or pillows mad from soft fabric can help you rest your neck while you bath.  If you don't have a pillow on-hand, use a cotton bath towel folded up instead.

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.

What to Keep Out of Your Garbage Disposal This Thanksgiving

Between inviting guests over for dinner, making your grocery shopping list, and food prep, it can be easy to push caring for your garbage disposal to the back of your mind.  However, many Thanksgiving foods are bad for your drain!  Prevent plumbing problems by keeping these Thanksgiving dishes out of your garbage disposal.

Be Careful With These Thanksgiving Foods:

• Potatoes - Starchy vegetables like potatoes can expand in your garbage disposal system.  This can clog the drain and keep your garbage disposal blades from spinning.
• Asparagus - Including asparagus in a side dish?  This stringy vegetable can wrap around the disposal blades and keep your system from working properly.
• Turkey Bones - If you're cooking a whole turkey, be sure to keep any bones out of your drain.  It's a common myth that bones can go down your disposal.  However, bones are strong enough to bend and break your disposal blades.
• Leftover Grease - Although grease may look like a liquid, you'll want to keep it far away from your kitchen sink.  When grease hardens, it can cause clogs in your plumbing drains and in your garbage disposal.  Be sure to dispose of any leftover grease from your turkey or other dish in the garbage.

If you're using a dishwasher this Thanksgiving, it's important to scrape off any leftover food.  In many cases, the dishwasher is directly linked to your garbage disposal.  Similarly, this can cause plumbing problems.

If you experience any problems with your garbage disposal this Thanksgiving, give us a call.  Our expert plumbing technicians can help clear your drain and leave you with a stress-free holiday.  Call 585-216-3058 to contact our office or visit our website to learn more about the plumbing and remodeling services that we offer to the Rochester area.

How Can You Avoid Holiday Plumbing Emergencies?

It's the holiday season!  Many families spend more time in the kitchen with their loved ones during this time of year.  Here are a few tips to help you prevent plumbing emergencies this holiday season.

Holiday Plumbing Tips: 

• Use a Strainer - Make sure that your drains have strainers int hem to catch hair, soap, and fibers that can clog your drains. 
• Invest in a Sink Plunger - Sink plungers are smaller than toilet plungers.  Place the plunger over the sink drain hole and make sure that there's enough water to create a seal.  This can help dislodge the clog.
• Be Careful What You Flush - Remind guests to throw away paper towels, baby wipes, and other paper products.  These items can quickly block your drain line!
