Yep, run both hot and cold at every tap/tub for like a minute, also as a new homeowner I highly suggest locating your main water shut off, in case of a pipe leak, it’s a lot easier to shut your water off when you know where to go rather than trying to find it in the panic of your home flooding. It’s amazing how many people don’t know where things are in their home
rather than trying to find it in the panic of your home flooding
Learned that the hard way, kitchen filled with water up to my ankles within a couple of frantic minutes haha. Good advice though. There’s so much to learn, I’ve been a renter all my life… though the last ~12 years my landlord was a lazy shithead so I’ve actually had to learn some DIY & house maintenance skills in that time.
