Plumbing issues can damage both your home and your household goods. Stop plumbing problems before they start by applying the following tips.
-
Frozen pipes are on of the worst plumbing problems. Prevent the pipes from freezing by insulating any sections of pipe that are close to the outside walls, and never allowing the temperature inside to be below freezing. Pipes have the potential to freeze if the surrounding temperatures are below the freezing mark. At best, it can take time for them to thaw and for you to be able to have running water. The other option is the pipes may burst, which would result in significant repair costs and a mess to clean up.
+
Obnoxiously loud pipes that like to squeal and hammer are easy situations to correct. You must anchor any type of exposed pipe. Call a plumber to help with pipes that require you to cut a hole in a wall, ceiling or floor.
-
You never want to pay for a job until it is complete, and this goes for a plumber as well. In some cases, you have to make a down payment prior to the first day of work. This is okay to do; however, don't let your plumber talk you into paying the entire cost of a job before he's finished, and never pay the whole cost before he's even begun. You want to make sure that the plumber completed everything that they said they would before they get your money.
+
To keep your pipes from getting frozen, always maintain a temperature in the house above freezing and make sure all pipes exposed to outside elements are insulated properly. If the temperature surrounding the pipes is anywhere below freezing, this can cause the pipes to freeze. Even in the best case scenario, it will take hours for thawing to happen before you have running water again. The other option is the pipes may burst, which would result in significant repair costs and a mess to clean up.
-
Have your septic tank cleaned every five years to keep it in prime condition. This will stop any buildup in your septic tank and prevent any horrible issues. In this case, the cost of prevention definitely outweighs having your septic backing up into your house or failing.
+
A strainer should be placed over all the drains in order to gather particles that would just get in the drain and potentially cause stoppage. Each time a filter is clogged, it should be cleaned. Strainers placed in a bathtub can be cleaned periodically.
-
Never reach into a garbage disposal that you think isn't working. Garbage disposals can be very dangerous, so take caution when fixing it, even while it's turned off. Use the web to locate a diagram or users manual for your device.
+
If you have well water and discover orange or pink discoloration on your bathtub or sink, you probably have iron in your water supply. Water softener can help this problem, and you can buy that at a store. Alternatively, you can hire someone to handle it.
-
Check the overflow holes for clogs. These passages allow your sink to fill up without overflowing onto your floor, and if they're blocked that can cause you a major headache. Make sure to clean out the overflow holes each time you do maintenance checks on your sinks.
+
Be sure that the overflow holes don't clog up. Sinks use overflow holes if they start to overfill, and this isn't usually a problem, but it can be. Make cleaning debris from the overflow holes part of your regular routine of maintaining your plumbing and checking it for problems and required repairs.
