Resolve To Give the Home’s Plumbing Extra Care This Year

The New Year is here, and with it comes a slew of resolutions and goals to improve the next 365 days. Be sure to add a home resolution to the list. The home’s plumbing works hard every day of the year, so why not resolve to take extra care of it this year? Taking care of the home’s drains and pipes doesn’t have to take a lot of work, and it will reward homeowners with efficient and long-lasting plumbing!

Schedule a Drain Cleaning

All sorts of gunk go down the drain. Between food in the kitchen sink and hair in the shower, drains have their work cut out for them. Over time, these unsavory items collect in the drain and start to build up. Soon enough, the drain will be plugged, and homeowners will be scrambling for a drain-cleaner and plunger.

Homeowners can avoid the gross debacle of unplugging their own drains by scheduling annual drain cleaning once or twice a year. The plumbing technician will arrive with all the necessary equipment. After the area is set up and prepared, they will insert a high-powered hose into the drain and pressure-wash the system. Any debris will be removed and keep the drains running smoothly for the year. 

Monitor What Goes Into the Toilet

The toilet should be used for only two things: waste and toilet paper. Anything else going into the toilet is just begging for trouble. Toilet parts are designed to handle only bodily waste, water, and toilet paper. Flushing anything else down can clog the toilet and cause an overflow situation or end up plugging the pipes further down the line. 

If something unexpected does get flushed down the toilet, consider calling in a plumber to make sure it doesn’t block the line. Larger objects may need to be removed by a professional to prevent pipes from becoming blocked. 

Watch Out for Signs of Leaks

Leaks happen in every home. They’re a reality of plumbing and can spring up without warning. The good news is, leaks always leave warning signs for homeowners to investigate.

  • High Water Bills: If homeowners notice an increase in water bill costs, there may be a leak in the house. Leaks create a constant running of water, and even small leaks can drastically increase a home’s water bill over time. 
  • Mold and Mildew: Even tiny leaks can cause a host of problems in a home. A major one is the growth of mold or mildew. Any size leak can create the perfect dark, moist environment mold and mildew need to grow. If they manage to get into the plumbing or ductwork, the home’s water and air supply can become compromised by the irritants. If the air smells musty or moldy, investigate the area right away. 
  • Water Spots: Pooling water is an obvious sign that a leak is occurring. But, leaks may not be right above the spot of damage. It’s important to have a plumber investigate and locate the source and have the materials cleaned and repaired to prevent mold growth.
  • Sagging Walls, Ceilings, and Floors: If the wallpaper or paint is blistered or sagging, if the ceiling is drooping, or if the floor has caved, there may be a leak nearby. Water travels easily and quickly erodes the materials of flooring, paint, and drywall. When structures look compromised, be sure to investigate quickly.
  • Rust: Rust flourishes in moist environments. If rust has popped up anywhere in the home, there may be a leak producing excessive moisture and encouraging rust.
