Preparing Your Plumbing Before Going on Vacation

Heading away for a few days or weeks? Don’t forget your plumbing. Leaving your home unattended can create water damage nightmares if a leak or burst pipe occurs.

Tips to Protect Your Plumbing

  • Turn off the main water supply
  • Empty toilet tanks and cisterns
  • Unplug appliances connected to water lines
  • Check for existing leaks before leaving
  • Set your geyser to vacation mode if available

Why It Matters

Even a small leak can flood your home while you’re away. Water damage, mould, and high bills are the last things you want to come back to.
