3 Sure-Fire Ways to Improve Plumbing Systems This Year

A home’s plumbing system doesn’t need a ton of care for it to function properly. However, it’s never a good idea to neglect it altogether. There are a few things homeowners should do to avoid expensive plumbing emergencies. Additionally, there’s something to be said for knowing the signs of common plumbing problems, so homeowners can identify them and avoid the need for costly repairs. Read on to learn the three intentions every homeowner needs to enjoy a well-functioning plumbing system. 

Create Flush Awarenesstoilet

Many people are surprised at the term “flush awareness.” They may have an idea of what it means. Really, it’s not hard to figure out. Some of the most common and costly plumbing problems come after something that isn’t supposed to go down the toilet gets flushed. Those with small children will need to create a greater flush awareness than those households where everyone understands what should and shouldn’t go into the toilet. 

As a quick refresher, only toilet paper and human waste should be flushed down the toilet. Like those with septic tanks, some plumbing systems will need special septic-safe toilet paper to prevent clogs and facilitate proper function. Those homes hooked up to municipal plumbing systems can use any toilet paper. Feminine hygiene products, Q-Tips, paper towels, and even “flushable” wipes should never be flushed down the toilet, no matter the type of plumbing. 

Know Water Leak Signs

One of the risky things about plumbing systems is they’re mostly out of sight. Other than the fixtures coming out of the walls and the occasional glance under the sink, most of the plumbing system is behind the walls or under the floors. This is why it’s important to know the signs of a water leak. 

There are many signs there may be a water leak in the walls, or somewhere else the homeowner can’t easily see. The appearance of mold or mildew on the walls, ceiling, or floor can indicate a leak. This often, but not always, comes with peeling or bubbling wallpaper. The sound of running or dripping water coming from inside the wall also indicates that something is awry. A drop in water pressure and a rise in the water bill can also both indicate a leak. 

calendar Put Drain Cleaning in the Calendar

While watching what goes down the toilet drains is a good way to prevent expensive clogs, there are also other drains in the house to think about. These drains need a different kind of care. The shower and sink drains can build up hair and soap scum mounds, while the kitchen drain can clog with grease and coffee grounds. It’s hard to prevent buildup in these drains. However, drain cleaning is an excellent way to keep these drains from getting clogged and causing issues. 

But using liquid drain cleaners isn’t the answer here. Not only can liquid drain cleaners eat away at the inside of the pipes, but they can also harm the environment. Hiring a professional plumber for drain cleaning services at least once or twice a year can prevent drain clogs. Many plumbers offer drain cleaning as part of their plumbing maintenance plans, which are worth looking into.
