This year, we’ve put a unique twist on the classic Christmas carol “The 12 Days of Christmas” to share daily plumbing tips that will help residents keep their home safe and water-efficient throughout the holidays.
Each day, we’ll share a new piece of advice, ensuring your plumbing is in top shape while you enjoy the festive cheer.
I wanted to combine the joy of the festive season with practical tips that can help businesses and residents.
Water-related disasters, such as frozen or burst pipes, can cause chaos at any time of year – but particularly over the festive season when many are hosting friends and family.
Our 12 Days of Christmas posts are designed to be both informative and fun, putting a light-hearted twist on this Christmas classic to share our top tips to protect your home from common winter plumbing issues.
We’ve shared all these tips, and more, through our social media channels, website and via the press this year, but it never hurts to have a reminder – so everything is here in one handy list.
It’s been written so you can even sing along to the original tune, if you so desire!
