The following hints and tips are designed to provide you with some of the information that you need to get started on developing your plumbing skills and knowledge.
-
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.

As such, bursting can be halted, saving you from even more costly damages.
-
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.

This will stop any buildup in your septic tank and prevent any horrible issues. It will cost some to have the septic tank pumped, but it would cost much more to have it cleaned, repaired or replaced due to sewage back up.
-
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.
+
Toilet discs and odor removers should never be used in your toilet. These products can be great when it comes to getting rid of odors, but unfortunately, they can cause significant damage to the rubber portions of your toilet. This can lead to it breaking down or having other issues.
-
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.

[http://www.go2album.com/pg/groups/1875841/plumbing-101-tending-to-your-pipes-like-a-pro/ Easy Answers To Your Tough Plumbing Questions] Feel the floors around the toilets to see if they are soft; this will help you know if you have any damage. You can check for softness or weakness in the floor by placing one foot on each side of the toilet and rocking back and forth. It could potentially save money by discovering any problems before too much damage occurs.
-
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.
+
Sifting drainers are available for any size drain to prevent items larger than a grain of sand going into your pipes. The strainer in the kitchen sink should be cleaned each time you have large particles trapped in it. Kitchen filters should be changed often, while bathtub filters can be changed as needed.
-
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.
+
You can easily see if there are any serious damages caused by leaks by checking if the floor is soft around toilets. Another great way to check is to actually sit on the toilet and move in a rocking motion, going back and forth from right to left to see how much give you feel. As with many problems, early detection can save you a lot of money.
-
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 have a well at your home and notice pink or orange stains around the drains of your tub or sink, this is most likely caused by an excess of iron in your water. This is something that needs to be taken care of by water softener, which you can buy at a store, or have a company come out to your house and take care of it for you.
-
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.
+
If you wish to use a pipe cleaner to clear out your clogged pipes, look for one that is enzyme-based. A enzyme-based cleaner will remove the clog by turning it into a liquid, freeing it from the drain. The best options on the market now are enzyme cleaners.
