Tips for Taking Care of Your Home’s Plumbing

While plumbing problems can sometimes arise unexpectedly, many can be avoided through regular care and attention. By adopting simple, routine habits, you can help prevent common plumbing issues and extend the lifespan of your pipes, faucets, and appliances. 

Here are some practical steps you can take to protect your home’s plumbing:

  • Avoid pouring grease down your drains. Cooking grease and oil might seem harmless in liquid form, but when poured down your drain, they can solidify and cause stubborn blockages. To prevent this, collect grease and oil in a container and discard them in the trash.
  • Be mindful of what goes down the garbage disposal. Avoid putting hard items like bones, fibrous foods, or starchy foods in your garbage disposal. These can damage the blades or create blockages, leading to a malfunctioning disposal system.
  • Use drain screens. Install drain screens in sinks, bathtubs, and showers to trap hair, food particles, and other debris. These small, inexpensive tools can prevent clogs before they begin, saving you time and the hassle of dealing with slow drains.
  • Flush only toilet paper. While it may be tempting to flush items like wipes, cotton swabs, or paper towels, these materials can lead to serious blockages in your pipes. Stick to flushing only toilet paper to maintain proper toilet functionality.
  • Check for leaks regularly. Inspect your home periodically for dripping faucets, leaking pipes, or running toilets. Addressing leaks promptly not only conserves water but also helps prevent structural damage and potential mold growth caused by prolonged moisture.
  • Adjust your water pressure. High water pressure can strain your pipes and appliances, leading to potential damage. Use a pressure gauge to check your home's water pressure and, if necessary, work with a professional to install a pressure regulator to maintain a safe and steady flow.
  • Avoid chemical drain cleaners. While chemical drain cleaners may appear to offer a quick fix for clogs, they can damage your pipes over time and harm the environment. Turn to professional plumbers for drain clearing.
