Protect Your Plumbing
When it comes to protecting your plumbing during your World Cup party, keep in mind that the toilet and sink will get used at least once every 20 minutes all day long.

When inspecting your toilet make sure it doesn’t rock or move off its base, and check that area at the floor for and leaks or moisture. Ensure it flushes properly and prepare your sewage back flow valve in the event your rowdy buddies eat too many nachos and decide to clog your toilet’s pipes.
Don’t Spill the Beer!

The top mold removal Long Island teams remind us that when liquid spills onto carpets it soaks down to the mat and, if enough of it is spilled, it can even reach your sub flooring (but this would take a pretty big spill.

Spilling beer, soda or water on your hardwood floor may seem like an easier mess to wipe up, but if moisture becomes trapped in the cracks and crevices between your boards or in the grain, mold can grow under the right conditions.

Don’t worry about looking paranoid or tacky; the 2014 FIFA World Cup games and good craft beer will distract people from even noticing. Besides, it’s better to be safe than sorry and you would much rather shout “GOAL” now, then shout “MOLD” around the holidays!
