How experienced are you with plumbing? Do you see your current knowledge as a foundation to build upon, or are you satisfied with what you already know? Just what are your plumbing skills? If you are not sure, look at these tips.

If you have a plumbing problem, it could negatively affect the home and all the stuff you have in it. The tips in this article will help give you the knowledge you need to start fixing your own plumbing problems.

To keep your pipes from freezing in the winter, insulate all exterior pipes and be sure to keep your interior house temperature above freezing, even if the house is vacant. Your pipes can freeze if temperatures around them fall below freezing. It takes time for thawing to occur so you can have water again. However, frozen pipes commonly break or crack pipes, leading to flooding and costly repairs.

Noisy pipes is an easy do-it-yourself project. Anchoring exposed pipes will decrease the amount of noise your plumbing system makes. You may need the assistance of a professional in the case that the pipes are contained within a floor or ceiling.
-
If you discover that a water pipe has frozen, find the tap closest to the pipe so when the thaw happens, the water has an exit point. This helps decrease any pressure in order to prevent burst pipes. A burst pipe can create damage that is expensive to repair.
+
To eliminate the possibility of having frozen pipes, maintain a constant temperature in your home above freezing, and be certain to adequately insulate those pipes that are out in the weather. If the temperature surrounding the pipes is anywhere below freezing, this can cause the pipes to freeze. In the very least, you could lose running water inside while waiting for the pipes to unfreeze. On the other hand, they can burst, which gets messy and really expensive.
-
A great maintenance routine for bathtub drains is to pour baking soda and vinegar into the drain opening once a month. Plug the drain afterwards or cover it with a washcloth, as the two chemicals are going to react with each other. Wait until the chemical reaction runs its course, then flush the pipes by pouring in a kettle full of boiling water. This simple solution can break up clogs caused by everything from hair to soap scum.
+
Knowing your tools and how to use them can help greatly in your plumbing experience. You should read the manual with any new tool you purchase. If you don't have the manual, look online or at your local library for more information. You should do the same amount of research on the steps required for your project. Have a good grasp of what you're attempting to do before you do it, so you don't have to repair your repair.
-
Choose enzyme based cleaners if your pipes get clogged. These types of cleaners will use natural bacteria so that the sludge will turn into liquid form, and be removed from your pipes. The best these days are the enzyme cleaners.
+
Should you spot unexpected water draining inside the dishwasher, you will probably need to check that the hose from the kitchen sink has been installed correctly. The hose going from the dishwasher to the sink needs to angle uphill before going back downhill to prevent water from both being mixed.

However, you can generally avoid this happening in the first place. Pipes in crawlspaces or outside your home should be thoroughly insulated. When it gets colder, disconnect and drain the hoses and turn the outside faucet off. Be proactive about this and save on future repair bills.

Clean the buildup of sediment from your aerator to increase your water pressure if it's low. Remove the aerator, take it apart, and clean with a small brush dipped in vinegar. Rinse the aerator, reassemble it and reattach it to the faucet. By removing any grit, grime and debris from the aerator, the water pressure should significantly increase.

Check your fixtures to ensure the overflow holes are clear of debris and mineral build-up. Overflow holes are one of those things which you forget about until you need them. Make cleaning debris from the overflow holes part of your regular routine of maintaining your plumbing and checking it for problems and required repairs.
To limit toilet problems, don't use it as a trash can. Don't put disposable sanitary objects down the toilet. The sewage system cannot deal with these items and will become clogged. Use the least amount of toilet paper that you can; use just as much as necessary to properly clean yourself.

Good management and prevention can help you save money on plumbing. Drain clogs are probably the most frequent issue you will run into with your plumbing. Hair is a common material in drain clogs. Put drain covers over your bathtub and sink drains to keep loose hair from going down the drain or into your pipes. Most objects will not fall through the drain cover, and even hair usually won't make it through.
