Fall is a busy season in Highlands Ranch. Whether you’re hosting out-of-town family for football weekends, planning Thanksgiving gatherings, or just welcoming friends, extra guests mean extra plumbing use.
Without preparation, the sudden increase in showers, dishes, and laundry can overwhelm your system. Follow this fall plumbing checklist to avoid last-minute emergencies.
🍂 Fall Plumbing Checklist for Hosting Guests
-
Test Guest Bathroom Fixtures
Run sinks, tubs, and toilets ahead of time to catch leaks, slow drains, or running toilets. -
Flush & Service Your Water Heater
Hot water demand increases with more showers and laundry—make sure your heater is ready. -
Clean Out Drains
Clear slow bathroom or kitchen drains before guests arrive to prevent backups. -
Check Toilet Seals & Supply Lines
A running toilet wastes water and frustrates guests—replace worn flappers or seals. -
Inspect Garbage Disposal
Holiday cooking means more food scraps. Ensure your disposal runs smoothly and safely. -
Add Pipe Insulation Where Needed
Early frosts in Colorado can freeze pipes. Protect exposed plumbing before guests arrive. -
Know Where Your Shut-Off Valve Is
If a leak happens, you’ll save precious minutes (and water damage) by knowing how to shut it off quickly.
