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 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.

You can prevent frozen pipes within the home, by ensuring the temperature does not fall below freezing. The best result you can hope for from frozen pipes is to be without water until the pipes thaw. But, they could also burst, causing a mess and a large repair bill.

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.
+
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.

  Keep your dryer's lint trap clean. This will save you trouble, such as preventing fires. Make sure that you inspect the lint trap for any holes or tears that might mean lint is going to your pipes, which might lead to clogs and other problems to deal with.

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.

  If you take care of your plumbing, you will have lower plumbing bills. Clogged drains are one of the more common issues when it comes to plumbing problems. Drains are easily clogged by hair. A great way to help prevent those clogs is to install a screen on top of the drain. Just make sure that it properly fits your drain. Cleaning hair from the screen is a much easier affair than it would be to get the hair out of the pipe.

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.
-
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.
+
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.

Over time, sediment buildup may lead to problems with low water pressure. Often, this problem can be addressed by thoroughly cleaning out the aerator. After removing the aerator, disassemble it, and use a small brush that's been dipped in vinegar to clean it. Rinse your aerator, put it back together and back into the faucet. Your water pressure should improve because the obstructing particles or buildup have been removed.

If your home runs on well water and you notice any orange or pink stains in your fixtures or tub, this is because of iron in your water. Water softener can help this problem, and you can buy that at a store. Alternatively, you can hire someone to handle it.

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.
+
If your house uses well water and there are orange or pink stains in tubs or sinks, it's because of the iron level in the water. You should purchase a water softener to use, or ask a local business to make a visit to your residence and resolve the issue for you.
