New Year, Same Pipes — Start the Year Smart
The calendar may reset on January 1st, but your plumbing doesn’t get a fresh start. After weeks of holiday guests, heavy cooking, longer showers, and extra water use, your pipes have likely been working overtime — even if everything seems fine on the surface.
New Year’s Day is the perfect time to slow down and give your plumbing a quick check before small issues turn into expensive problems.
Simple New Year Plumbing Checks Every Homeowner Should Do
✔ Check for slow drains
If sinks, tubs, or showers are draining slower than usual, buildup from holiday use may be forming in the pipes. Early attention can prevent a full clog later.
✔ Listen for running toilets
A toilet that keeps running after flushing can waste hundreds of gallons of water a day and drive up your utility bill.
✔ Look under sinks for moisture
Even a small drip under a cabinet can lead to warped wood, mold, and hidden damage if ignored.
✔ Pay attention to new smells
Musty or sewer odors coming from drains often signal buildup or ventilation issues that shouldn’t be overlooked.
✔ Notice unusual sounds
Gurgling drains or bubbling toilets can be early warning signs of a developing blockage in the system.
Starting the year by catching small plumbing issues early helps protect your home, your budget, and your peace of mind. And if something doesn’t look, sound, or smell right, Gary and the Plumberoo team are ready to help get your year off to a smooth start.
