How Water Damage Can Cause Big Headaches and Heartaches on Valentine’s Day in Reading, MA

ToiletThe worst kind of heartache to suffer on Valentine’s Day is a plumbing emergency. Plumbing problems increase the potential for water damage so it’s important to keep up with the maintenance of your plumbing system in order to avoid this.

With over 100 years of experience serving the North Shore, you can rely on the plumbing services we provide to help you avoid a plumbing emergency and the damage they cause.
These are just a handful of ways plumbing problems and water damage can break your heart on Valentine’s Day:
A plugged up toilet
An overflowing toilet is one of the most embarrassing plumbing problems to have and can clog up your Valentine’s Day fun. To prevent clogs, it’s important to know what not to flush down your toilet. Waste items such as paper towels, dental floss, and even “flushable” wipes can lead to clogs. Got a clog? Just go with the flow and trust our drain cleaning service to resolve the issue!
Frozen and burst piping
As the coldest month of the year, it’s especially important to be wary of frozen and burst piping in February. In the blink of an eye, a burst pipe can cause thousands of dollars in water damage to your home and property. Winterizing your plumbing is the best way to reduce the chances of this happening.
Basement flooding
Like a loving valentine, your basement’s sump pump should always be there for you. Failure to routinely test your sump pump and maintain it properly can lead to basement flooding and water damage, which are some of the worst kinds of plumbing problems to have.
Bubbled wallpaper and ceiling stains
A fun and bubbly personality is a good trait for your valentine to have but it’s no fun when your bathroom wallpaper is bubbly! This is typically caused by the moisture and steam from hot showers, which can wrinkle your wallpaper over time. Hidden water leaks also pose a threat as they can encourage mold and mildew growth and can even stain the ceiling below your bathroom.
Foul smelling laundry
A musty smell to your laundry could be a sign of a buildup of odor causing residue in your washing machine. This can happen over time, especially if you do all your laundry in cold water. Save the hottest load for last to dissolve any residue and remove odors.
You can’t go wrong by treating your plumbing right with the love and maintenance it deserves. Let Waldman Plumbing and Heating take care of all your plumbing repairs in Reading, MA!
