Love is in the air, and you’re most likely planning your Valentine’s Day festiveness. Looking for just the right recipe for a romantic dinner outdoors with some star gazing for added effect? Maybe you’re considering taking the big step and asking your loved one to move in with you? February is the perfect month to take those big steps in the name of love!
Double up on your dishes, knick-knacks, and whether you think about it or not, your bathroom habits! A big part of moving in with another person is determining the best ways to keep your home and plumbing in the best shape. Read on to be sure you’re ready for the next step!
You’ve been living on your own for a while, and you’re more than likely used to your daily routine. When you see your significant other it may just be for a date night or dinner, but do you ever think about their daily routine as well?
Just like you, they need to use the bathroom, brush their teeth, and take a shower. All this added strain on your home’s plumbing could be more of a concern than you first thought.
Some common issues that
may crop up can include:
The more you use the bathroom, the higher the chance of issues. This is why it’s a good idea to talk out a routine to help prevent these plumbing problems. Sometimes it can be something as simple as cleaning the toilet more often or as complex as possibly replacing outdated fixtures to accommodate the extra usage.
Another common issue when you move in is the risk of clogged shower drains. Another person in the shower means more hair than ever!
If you don’t take any preventive measures, that excess hair can combine with shampoo and soap to create a blockage in your drain.
Not only will this cause your bathtub to drain out more slowly than ever, but also it can strain your pipes – which is always a concern for an older home. An easy way to combat this issue is with a shower strainer. These easy tools fit right over your drain and catch all the hair. With a cleaning every other day or so you can save yourself thousands in possible plumbing repairs.
While you can take all the preventive care you want, at some point the need for a plumber will crop up. So if you’re starting to get cold feet about making that copy of your key, at least you can trust that our plumbing pros at First Choice Plumbing Solutions will always be there to help!
And if you do plan on taking that big next step, be sure to keep us on speed dial for all your plumbing needs, even as simple as a drain cleaning.
Valentine’s Day is a time for love – so give your plumbing some with some preventive care and maintenance. And always remember, if you really love someone, be sure to share your plumbing tips with them!
