Be Free of Stress on Canada’s Independence Day

Vancouver, B.C. (June 13, 2010) – Holidays in the summer usually mean barbecues, family get-togethers, and extra strain on your plumbing. While Canada celebrates its 143rd birthday, make sure your celebration is stress free.

“With a house full of people you want to make sure the focus is on the fun and not on your plumbing,” said Mary Kennedy Thompson, President of the Mr. Rooter® Corporation. “Nothing puts a damper on a party faster than an overflowing toilet or a backed up sink.”

Mr. Rooter® Plumbing service professionals suggest these steps to prevent extra strain on your pipes:

· Try to prevent anything but liquid being poured down the drains.
· Save your vegetables scraps for the compost and not the garbage disposal.
· Rinse off plates before putting them in the dishwasher.
· Remove small objects from the top of the toilet tank that could fall in, causing it to clog.
· In case of emergency, make sure you know where your water shut off valve is.
