Getting Ready for the Best Independence Day Get-Together on the Block!
There’s nothing like a 4th of July party to feel like summer is in full swing. From grilling and enjoying refreshing drinks to lighting off fireworks and having fun in the sun, the 4th is a time for fun, family, and friends. But to make the most out of an Independence Day get-together, homeowners take a few steps to prepare their homes for guests. After all, there’s nothing worse than a home emergency stopping the party and turning a good time into a bad time. So read on for tips on preparing the home for a great 4th of July party!
Make Prep Easy With a Garbage Disposal
Preparing food and drinks for the festivities can be enjoyable for some and a tedious chore for others. All the prep work that creates delicious food for the party can be made even more difficult if the home doesn’t have a garbage disposal. Sure, it’s possible to have a fully functioning kitchen without a garbage disposal, but those preparing food need to be careful. Without a garbage disposal, a sink clog is usually just a matter of time.
Garbage disposals don’t use blades as many people think. Instead, they used spinning plates to throw food at a ring of teeth around the outsides of the disposal. The force generated causes the food to break down into tiny pieces to wash down the drain safely. Disposals aren’t expensive, and they’re easy to install with the help of a professional plumber.
Ensure Safety by Checking All Gas Lines
This second tip is just a little more important than making things easier in the kitchen. Those who live in homes with natural gas lines should take special care to ensure those lines get checked before any 4th of July festivities. After all, when there are fireworks and grills involved, even a small gas leak could prove extremely dangerous.
Natural gas is extremely flammable and can build up easily, creating a danger to anyone around. Leaks usually happen around fixtures and connections to appliances. Some dryers, ovens, and water heaters can all use natural gas for heat, not to mention furnaces. So having these lines checked for leaks is a great way to ensure a safe and fun 4th of July.
Prepare the Bathroom for Guests
The last tip on the list has to do with bathrooms. There’s nearly nothing more embarrassing than a bathroom plumbing problem when guests are over. And these problems tend to happen when guests are over for the simple reason that the plumbing sees more use. A slow drain that wasn’t much of an issue before can turn into an emergency when the plumbing is used repeatedly in a short time. So it’s a good idea to make sure that bathrooms are ready to go.
Luckily, a professional plumbing company can help with all of the above. Many people don’t know that plumbing companies offer gas line inspections as well as regular plumbing inspections. And those homeowners who take the small extra step of having their home checked can rest assured that things will go smoothly during the 4th of July festivities.
