The holiday season is nearly upon us, and in the Treasure Valley, that means welcoming loved ones into your home. While you’re preparing the guest rooms and planning the menu, don’t overlook one of the most critical elements of a smooth, stress-free hosting experience: your home’s plumbing.
From extra-long showers to increased toilet flushes and higher demand on the dishwasher, your plumbing system is about to work overtime. At Drake Mechanical, we’ve been helping Boise and the surrounding communities prepare for these busy times for over a century. Here are three key plumbing areas to address now to ensure your home is guest-ready.
The Power of Soft Water: Protect Your Guests and Your Fixtures
When you have extra company, you have extra showering, washing, and dishwashing. If you live in an area of Idaho with hard water, all that extra use translates to more mineral buildup in your fixtures and appliances. Worse, hard water can leave skin feeling dry and hair looking dull—not the best impression for your visiting family.
A whole-house water softener installation is a highly valuable upgrade right now. Not only will it prevent costly damage to your water heater and appliances, but it offers a noticeable improvement in water quality for your guests. From cleaner dishes to softer towels and lathers that rinse better, installing a water softener now ensures a truly premium experience for everyone staying in your home.
New Fixtures That Refresh Your Bathrooms and Kitchen
A quick, affordable way to make your guest bathroom feel brand new is to upgrade the fixtures. Old, leaky, or tarnished faucets are immediately noticeable. Installing a new, sleek bathroom or kitchen faucet is a simple project that drastically updates the look and functionality of the space.
Why Upgrade Your Faucets Now?
Modern faucets are not just aesthetically pleasing; they are often designed to be more water-efficient and easier to clean. If you’ve been putting off a minor plumbing repair, like a perpetually dripping shower head or a wobbly kitchen faucet, now is the time to replace it entirely. This small investment prevents frustrating issues for your guests and boosts the overall wow factor of your home.
Don’t Wait for a Disaster: Proactive Drain Cleaning and Maintenance
The absolute last thing you want during a holiday meal is a clogged kitchen sink backing up, or an overflowed guest toilet. With the increased usage of sinks, garbage disposals, and toilets, the chances of a slow drain becoming a complete blockage rise dramatically.
We strongly recommend proactive drain cleaning before the arrival of guests. Our professional drain services, including hydro jetting and mechanical snaking, ensure your lines are completely clear of hair, grease, and soap scum buildup. This preventative maintenance is the only sure way to avoid a stressful plumbing emergency when your house is full.
The time to prepare for the holidays is now, before the busy rush starts. Let Drake Mechanical handle the details of your plumbing system so you can focus on welcoming your family and friends. Fast, Friendly, Fixed. Just Drake It!
