Christmas tree decoration in the holiday season

The holiday season is almost here—cue the jingling bells, Christmas lights, and endless parties. Whether you’re hosting family, friends, or even the in-laws (yikes!), the last thing you want is a plumbing disaster. Picture this: your toilet overflows just as you’re carving the turkey, or the sink backs up while baking those perfect holiday cookies. Not exactly the festive magic you were hoping for, right?

Fear not! Aqua Knight Plumbing is here with a fun guide to get your plumbing in tip-top shape before the holiday madness begins.


1. Check That Water Heater Before Your Guests Check You Out

Nothing says “Happy Holidays” like a cold shower… said no one ever. Your water heater will be working overtime with guests taking extra showers, running dishwashers, and cleaning up after holiday meals. Make sure it’s up to the task.

Tip: Flush your water heater to remove sediment and ensure it runs efficiently. If it’s time for a replacement, Aqua Knight is offering $99 off installation this season!

2. Give Your Garbage Disposal Some Holiday Spirit

From mashed potatoes to gravy, your garbage disposal will face its toughest test of the year. Make sure it’s ready to take on the holiday feast.

Tip: Run cold water before and after using your garbage disposal, and avoid dumping grease, fibrous vegetables, and large food scraps down the drain. If the disposal jams, Aqua Knight can save the day with a quick fix.

3. Toilet Check—Avoid the Ultimate Holiday Horror

Your bathroom will see more traffic than a mall parking lot on Black Friday. Don’t wait until someone flushes and nothing happens!

Tip: Test your toilet’s flush power and check for leaks around the base. If your toilet is running constantly, you may need to replace the flapper or fill valve. Call Aqua Knight for a quick inspection before disaster strikes.

4. Prevent Clogged Drains—Your Holiday Hero Move

Holiday cooking and cleaning can cause major sink blockages, especially if you’re sending too much down the drain.

Tip: Install mesh strainers in your sinks to catch food particles and hair. If your sink drains slowly, try a DIY solution with a mix of baking soda and vinegar, but for tough clogs, Aqua Knight is just a call away.

5. Main Water Shut-Off Valve—Know Before You Need It

In case of a plumbing emergency, you’ll want to know where your main water shut-off valve is. If a pipe bursts or a major leak happens, turning off the water immediately can prevent thousands in damage.

Tip: Locate your shut-off valve and make sure it works. If you’re unsure, Aqua Knight can help you identify and test it.
