How can I prevent clogged drains?

Clogged drains are definitely a common issue for many homeowners. Luckily, there are a few things that you can do to prevent them. You should be careful about what you wash down your kitchen sink. Grease, coffee beans and foods that swell should never washed down the drain. Pasta, rice and potatoes are examples of starchy foods that swell up. Even tiny bits of food can begin to accumulate and cause clogs, and you even have to be careful if you have a garbage disposal.

You also have to be careful in the bathroom. Hair, for example, can get in the sink and shower drains and cause massive clogs. Brushing your hair away from the sink and shower is one way to combat this; it’s also important to clean up any hair that you spot near your drain as soon as possible.

Many people attempt to fix their own clogs, but it’s important to be careful about harsh chemicals since these can corrode your pipes. Instead, it’s typically a better idea to call a plumber to help.

How can I detect water leaks?

Water leaks can cause major issues within your home. Leaks can cause water damage to your walls and floors and can promote the growth of mold and mildew. They can also cause your water bill to be very high and contribute to water waste.

In most cases, you can see or hear water leaks. Toilets that are leaking, for example, make a constant hissing-type sound. Dripping faucets or pipes are also cause for concern, and you should watch out for excess water around your appliances, sinks, showers and toilets.

If you spot a water leak or are afraid that you have one, you should contact a plumber immediately to resolve the issue. Otherwise, damage could be done to your home.

How can I extend the lifespan of my water heater?

Taking good care of your water heater can help it last for 10 years or more. You should have it drained once a year to get rid of mineral deposits and other debris. You should also have it checked annually so that the pressure valve and other components can be inspected.
