Plumbing Tips for a Problem-Free Holiday Gathering

Team Rooter Plumbing – Your Trusted Plumbers in Los Angeles and Southern California

The holiday season is a time for family, friends, and festivities. But if there’s one thing that can quickly ruin a joyous gathering, it’s an unexpected plumbing problem. At Team Rooter Plumbing, we’re here to ensure your holiday gatherings in Los Angeles and Southern California stay stress-free with these essential plumbing tips. Whether you’re in need of drain clearing, hydro jetting, pipe repair, or water heater replacement, our team has got you covered.

Clogged Drains

Prevent Clogged Drains with a Little Preparation
Holiday cooking often leads to clogged kitchen sinks, one of the most common issues we see this time of year. Fat, grease, and food scraps should never go down the drain. Instead:

  • Use a drain strainer to catch food particles.
  • Pour cooled grease into a container and dispose of it in the trash.
  • Schedule a professional drain clearing service before your guests arrive to prevent slow or clogged drains from ruining your party.

Garbage Disposal

Give Your Garbage Disposal a Holiday Tune-Up
Your garbage disposal works overtime during the holidays. Avoid overloading it and keep these items out:

  • Bones, pits, and fibrous vegetables (like celery and corn husks).
  • Coffee grounds, which can clump and cause blockages.
  • Eggshells and pasta, which can create sticky clogs.

Toilets

Avoid Bathroom Overflows
More guests mean more use of your bathrooms, which can strain your plumbing. Here’s how to avoid toilet troubles:

  • Place a trash bin nearby to encourage proper disposal of non-flushable items like wipes, paper towels, and sanitary products.
  • If your toilet has been slow to flush, consider scheduling a hydro jetting service to clear any blockages in your sewer line.

Water Heater

Check Your Water Heater
No one wants to run out of hot water when hosting guests. If your water heater is over 8–10 years old or you’ve noticed inconsistent heating, it might be time for a water heater replacement. Regular maintenance, such as flushing out sediment buildup, can also improve its efficiency during high-demand times.

Be Prepared for Outdoor Plumbing Needs

From garden hoses to outdoor drains, your exterior plumbing shouldn’t be overlooked. Ensure your outdoor drains are clear of leaves and debris. For larger issues like tree roots invading pipes, our trenchless pipe repair service offers a minimally invasive solution to keep things flowing smoothly.

 

Don’t Ignore Sewer Line Issues

A blocked sewer line can lead to disastrous backups inside your home. If you notice foul odors, slow drains, or gurgling sounds, act fast. Our street jobs and trenchless sewer line repair services can address even the toughest problems without tearing up your property.

Keep a Plumber on Speed Dial

Even with the best preparation, emergencies can happen. Team Rooter Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency plumbing services in Los Angeles, Orange County, and throughout Southern California. Whether it’s a burst pipe, a backed-up drain, or an urgent repair, we’re just a call away.

Here are some additional tips for preventing plumbing problems during your holiday gathering:

  • Avoid using too much water at one time. 
    If you are running multiple appliances or fixtures at the same time, this can put a strain on your plumbing system and lead to problems.
  • If you are having a lot of guests, make sure to stagger their use of the bathroom and other plumbing fixtures. 
    This will help to prevent clogs and other problems from occurring.
  • Have a plunger and other plumbing tools on hand in case of an emergency. 
    This will help you to quickly resolve any minor problems that may occur.
