There are few things that cause more damage to your home than a big plumbing problem. However, there are many ways homeowners can protect themselves from these issues and create plans for minimizing these issues when they do arise.

To prevent frozen pipes, always keep the living spaces in your house above freezing, even if you aren't home. Any exposed pipes need to be insulated against the outdoor temperatures. The pipes will be able to freeze if the temperature surrounding the pipes drops below freezing. At best, it can take time for them to thaw and for you to be able to have running water. However, frozen pipes commonly break or crack pipes, leading to flooding and costly repairs.

If your water pipe has frozen, start water running in the faucet closest to the frozen pipe. This will give excess water somewhere to drain as the ice in the pipe thaws. This can prevent damage to your house because it lets the pressure that is in the pipe out, and keeps it from bursting.

Don't give a plumber the total bill payment upfront; pay them only when they have finished the job. It is customary to put down one-third to one-half of the total cost before the work is started, but do not pay in full until it is complete. You should make sure the plumber did a good job before you pay in full.

To ensure garbage disposal lasts long in your home, be sure you keep it cleaned regularly. By having a regular cleaning routine, which includes a combination of lemon rinds, dish soap and even pits from a cherry, your disposal can be kept smelling fresh and running smoothly for many years to come.

Don't pour oils, grease or fat down the drain. They might be in liquid form, but after they cool off, they will solidify and make a clog in your drain pipe. This can make your garbage disposal run slower. Throw away oils nowhere near the sink.

Don't use your toilet like a trash can, and you minimize potential problems. For example, don't flush sanitary pads or diapers down your toilet. These items can clog the pipes. Use the least amount of toilet paper that you can; use just as much as necessary to properly clean yourself.

If you are seeing water at the bottom of the dishwasher, most likely this is due to a faulty setup of the hose that leads from the kitchen sink. A hose that is properly installed should lead uphill, then downhill, to discourage water from each area from mixing.

Have all the plumbing repairs done in one visit. You may want to have each minor problem attended to as the occur, but having multiple repairs done at once allows you to save up for the cost. Most plumbers have an hourly rate and a flat rate for the trip: asking a plumber to fix multiple problems in one trip is cheaper than calling them more than once.
