Vancouver, BC (Nov. 16, 2009) – With the 97th Grey Cup around the corner, all that celebrating can lead to problems with your plumbing. A house full of football fans and food could turn into a disaster if you don’t tackle some plumbing precautions before kick-off.
“People focus on the game, and they don’t realize they have plumbing troubles until it’s too late,” said Mary Kennedy Thompson, President of the Mr. Rooter® Corporation. “We want to coach people on how to best prepare their kitchens and bathrooms for a house full of guests.”
To keep potential plumbing problems from ruining your party plans, follow these tips on game day:
Don’t overstuff your garbage disposal.
- Stock bathroom with single-ply toilet paper.
- Rinse dishes before loading the dishwasher.
- Remove small objects from the top of the toilet tank that could fall in, causing it to clog.
- Know how to use the water shut-off valve under the tank.
- If your team loses, resist the urge to flush your favorite team shirt or cap down the toilet.
No matter which team wins the Cup in Calgary, this advice could help homeowners intercept any costly repairs.
