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.

You can check for damage to the floors around the toilets by checking for soft areas. Do this by straddling the commode and rocking from side to side. You are looking for any feelings of weakness or softening of the floor itself. 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.

Water that leaves behind pink or orange tinged stains has an excessive amount of iron. Water softener can help this problem, and you can buy that at a store. Alternatively, you can hire someone to handle it.

Pump out your septic tank at least every five years to keep it in proper working condition. This keeps the tank from developing a buildup of sediment, thereby preventing the septic system from backing up or failing altogether as a result. If the cost of pumping your septic tank seems a bit steep, remember that the cost of cleanup and repair of a failed septic system will be much higher.
-
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.

Run cold water through your garbage disposal. Cold water will allow for the food particles to be properly disposed of while keeping the blades sharp. If you use hot water, any grease in the disposal will turn into liquid, while causes pipe clogging.

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.
