Schedule your plumbing jobs all together. Of course, our natural inclination is to handle problems as they arise, but it helps to get everything done at once. Even if you only have one noticeable problem, you can still get a plumber to inspect other areas. Another reason it lowers costs is that plumbers bill per hour worked, and due to partial hour effects, doing all the work at once results in lower billable hours.

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.

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.

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.

Avoid dumping oil, fat, and grease in your drain. Whenever they cool, they tend to harden and make clogs inside your drains. Your garbage disposal is particularly vulnerable to this issue, as the fat solids will slow the motion of the blades. This results in the disposal operating less efficiently. The best thing to do is to dispose of oil-based liquids away from your sinks.

An enzyme based cleaner is an excellent way of unblocking clogged pipes. These natural bacteria cleaners turn sludge into liquid, and then remove it from the pipes. These enzyme cleaners are probably the best that exist.

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.

When you replace your shower head, be sure that the replacement head is high quality. Some people think they can get away with the cheapest version at the store. However, they are inexpensive for a reason, this being that they are cheaply made and tend to break a lot easier.

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.

Do not flush unneeded things down your toilet if you want to lessen your chance of having issues. For example, don't flush sanitary pads or diapers down your toilet. These items can clog the pipes. Also, you want to use the least amount of toilet paper to clean yourself.
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.
