How can I prevent clogged drains?

The easiest way to prevent clogged drains is to set ground rules regarding precisely what can be flushed down the toilet or what can go down the drain. Grease and solid food particles that will not break down should never enter the kitchen drain.

It is important to pick up any hair clumps or dirt before it goes down the drain in the shower, and to make it a family policy to never flush anything down the toilet unless it is toilet paper. It is also an option to pour boiling water down the toilet. This will loosen any particles that might be stuck to the walls of the pipes.

How can I detect a water leak?

Puddles on the floor that were not there previously are a sign of a water leak. A reduction in the amount of hot water in the shower is another indication. Sounds indicating that water is continuously running even when everything is turned off, are an important warning. Also, an inexplicable unusually high water bill can be a symptom of a water leak.

If any of these symptoms are observed, it is critical for an individual to contact a professional plumbing company which will be able to locate the leak and fix it, or replace the water heater all together. For leaks in the pipes, looking for pools of water, as well as decreased water pressure, is highly advised. All of these symptoms can prompt a homeowner to call a professional plumbing company.

How can I extend the lifespan of my water heater?

One excellent way for a person to lengthen the lifespan of a water heater is to regularly have it maintained. A professional plumbing company can be scheduled to come and look at the water heater to make sure that it is as efficient as possible, that it’s structural integrity is maintained, and that it is not degrading over time.

This preemptive action will ensure that a water heater lasts as long as possible. Regularly having a plumbing company come and flush all of the sediment that might have gathered out of the water heater will ensure that the water quality remains high and that the heater will not suffer any damage as a result of that sediment.
