have a specific plumbing problem.
Don’t Forget Other Drains
The sink isn’t the only place where a plumbing trap can lose water.
Other fixtures may also have traps, including:
- Bathtubs
- Showers
- Floor drains
- Utility sinks
- Laundry drains
If you’re leaving a property vacant for an extended period, it’s worth considering all rarely used drains rather than focusing only on the kitchen sink.
What About the Toilet?
Toilets have their own water-filled trap, so you generally don’t need to cover the bowl simply because you’re going away for a short vacation.
