Storm Eowyn has left a significant impact across the country, with many households experiencing prolonged disruptions to water and power supplies. As services are gradually restored, families are finding themselves facing a backlog of household chores, from washing laundry to cleaning up storm debris.
At InDepth Water Management, we understand how overwhelming it can feel to get back on track. Here are some practical tips to help you manage your household water needs and ensure your home runs smoothly once again.
1. Prioritise Essential Water Usage
With the sudden demand for water after a long outage, it’s important to use it wisely. Focus on tasks such as:
- Cleaning outdoor areas to remove debris from storm damage.
- Running smaller laundry loads initially to avoid overwhelming your system.
- Sanitising kitchens and bathrooms to prevent bacteria build-up
2. Inspect Your Plumbing and Drains
After heavy storms, plumbing systems may have taken a hit. Look out for signs of blockages, slow drainage, or leaks in your pipes. Storm debris, soil erosion, and water pressure fluctuations can cause issues that may worsen if left unaddressed.
Tip: Avoid using harsh chemicals to clear drains. Instead, rely on professional drain cleaning services for a thorough and eco-friendly solution.
3. Flush Out Water Tanks and Boilers
If your water supply was disrupted, there’s a chance sediment or debris could have built up in your tank or boiler. Flushing your system ensures clean water flows through your home and helps protect appliances.
4. Catch Up on Household Chores in Stages
It’s tempting to tackle all your delayed tasks at once, but this can put a strain on your plumbing and septic systems. Spread out activities like laundry and cleaning over several days to avoid overwhelming your water supply.
