Have a holly jolly Christmas, it's the best time of the year,
I don't know if there'll be … A PLUMBING EMERGENCY!
When your house guests ring your doorbell, be sure to avoid a plumbing emergency and enjoy the holidays with a few helpful tips.
1. CLEAR YOUR DRAINS
If you want to make sure your drains are in working order, consider having them cleaned before your guest arrive for the holidays. To ensure debris won't get stuck in your pipes, install a simple drain strainer. This saves you from having to unclog the drain or deal with a plumbing emergency while entertaining guests.
2. BE CONSCIOUS OF YOUR SHOWER TIMES
Ask your guests to allow a fifteen-minute resting time between each person so your drain and water heater can catch up. If running out of hot water is a frequent problem in your household, it may be time to invest in a new tankless water heater.

3. KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR GARBAGE DISPOSAL
Your garbage disposal is not a trash, it can only handle so much, and the consequences of throwing even the slightest amount of unwanted items down your drain can cause issues. When you're cooking and looking for a place to dump your grease or corn husk choose the trash bin instead.
4. INVEST IN EXTRA TRASH BINS
When festivities are in full swing, and all the guests are over a clogged toilet is the last thing you want to with. To be sure unwanted items are being disposed the right way grab some extra trash bins next time you're at the store. Place them in the kitchen and one near the toilet so guest won't be prompted to use the toilet as a garbage and cause a plumbing emergency.
