If your toilet gets clogged, there is a low level of water in toilet, and the plunger is not working, you may fix the problem by dumping warm water from a bucket into your toilet from about waist level.

A great tip to use to stop your septic tank from backing up is to make sure you have it pumped at least every five years. This prevents sediment from building up in the tank and causing a backup into your home or causing the failure of the septic system itself. It may be a bit expensive to pump a septic tank, but it will be very expensive to clean up an emergency sewage problem.

You can check for damage to the floors around the toilets by checking for soft areas. Straddle the toilet, so you can rock from one leg to another to determine whether there's weakness in the floor. Identify any damage and repair it before it gets worse. In the long run, you are likely to save money by not putting off the repair.

Look at the overflow holes to ensure they aren't clogged up. Overflow holes divert water when a sink starts to fill up. That doesn't happen often, but when it does, it can be a big problem if there is a clog. Clear the overflow holes periodically when you are doing your periodic checks for other problems and things that need to be repaired.

Trash should go in the trash basket, not the toilet. Use the toilet for what it is designed for, and it won't give you a lot of problems. Keep away from flushing improper items down the toilet, like cotton balls, diapers, paper towels, or feminine hygiene products. These types of items can clog your toilet as they do not dissolve. Additionally, use the minimum amount of toilet paper required to clean up after you are done.
Maintain smooth functioning of the drain in your bathtub by dropping baking soda and then vinegar down it on a monthly basis. Plug the drain afterwards or cover it with a washcloth, as the two chemicals are going to react with each other. Pause a few minutes, and then follow the mixture with boiling water. Your pipes will soon be clear of accumulated hair and soap scum.

Don't bother running your water when you use the garbage disposal. It seems like water would help make the disposal function more smoothly, and many people simply assume that this is so, but it is not really the case. Water can cause food to stick to the moving parts, and this could create damage.
