Obnoxiously loud pipes that like to squeal and hammer are easy situations to correct. If pipes are exposed, you must anchor them. You are going to need a professional if the pipes will be located in the ceiling, walls, or the floors.

If one of your water pipes freezes, turn on the tap to the faucet nearest the pipe so that the water has somewhere to exit as the pipe thaws. This gives the pressure somewhere to go, and can keep them from bursting.

Ensure that a septic tank is emptied approximately five yearly, and make sure it is properly maintained. Deposit and debris build up in your tank can result in major problems. Although it is somewhat of an expense to pump out a septic tank, it is nothing compared to what you will have to spend on cleaning up a backup of sewage or repairing or replacing your septic system.

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.

Ensure overflow holes have not been clogged. Overflow holes are one of those things which you forget about until you need them. When you do periodic checks for any other problems or repairs that are needed, take the time to clear the holes that are there to protect you from overflow.

Put strainers in the bottoms of your drains to stop any clogging agents from escaping down the drain. Clean your kitchen strainer often, particularly if you can see debris accumulating. Strainers placed in a bathtub can be cleaned periodically.

  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.

  If you want to make sure your garbage disposal is going to be around as long as the house it is inside of, make sure you clean it often. By regularly "cleaning" the disposal with lemon rinds, cherry pits and dish soap, you can make sure that your garbage disposal is running well and smelling so clean it could be new.
