Spreading Christmas cheer with 12 days of Christmas tips

WaterSafe is bringing festive cheer and valuable plumbing tips to households across the region with its “12 Days of Christmas” campaign.

The national register of approved plumbers has created a version of the classic Christmas carol, with each day offering a new plumbing tip or piece of advice to keep homes’ plumbing safe and water-efficient during the holidays.

From insulating water pipes to finding your stop tap, WaterSafe’s posts are designed to be both informative and fun.

“We wanted to combine the joy of the festive season with practical tips that can help our community.”

said Julie Spinks, Director of WaterSafe.

“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 put a light-hearted twist on this Christmas classic to share our top tips to protect your home from common winter plumbing issues.”
