Preventative plumbing maintenance can help you avoid the need for an emergency plumber and the water damage and increased repair fees that come with them. The key to avoiding problems is catching them early.
Knowing where your shut-off valve is is vital in the event of a plumbing emergency. If there is a flood or you turn off your water supply to make repairs, you will want to know where your water shut-off valve is.
Keeping your drains clean on a regular basis can help you avoid clogs. Drain cleaners are detrimental to your pipes, so avoid using them unless you have to. Get a drain snake to help you clear out clogs.
Having your hot water heater inspected by a professional can help you identify leaks and other problems. This will help you fix your water heater before it becomes a major problem.
Do not flush items like paper towels or feminine hygiene products down the toilet. If these items don’t break down easily, they can clog your drains.
Check your water pressure if you notice that your plumbing isn’t working properly. If the water pressure is too high, you can get water leaks.
Check the pipes that are closest to your main shut-off valve. These are the most likely to give you problems if they are damaged.
Clogged drains are some of the most common reasons for plumbing problems. Clogs can lead to a backup of your sewage, which could cause major damage to your home.
Leaks can damage your home, causing mould and mildew, and even structural damage. Do not wait to find a leak, especially if it is on a major pipe.
Having your toilets checked by a professional can help you avoid clogs. Regular toilet maintenance can also help you avoid more serious problems in the future.
If you are regularly having plumbing issues, the problem may be a bigger one. If you have a flooding event or if you notice leaks and water damage, contact a plumber right away.
A plumbing emergency can occur any time it is least expected. If your pipes freeze, you can have serious water damage in your home. Having a plumbing emergency plan in place can help you avoid these issues.
You will want to know where your shut-off valve is, so you can shut off the water supply so you can make repairs. You will also want to clean your drains and toilets regularly. You will also want to have your water heater inspected and check your water pressure on a regular basis. You may also want to check on your pipes and have a professional check them for you as well.
