Here are a few simple tricks you can be doing to your plumbing now to save you huge dollars later.
There are few problems in your home as inconvenient (and sometimes as filthy) as plumbing problems. Dealing with issues in your sinks, toilets, and tubs is indeed something no one wants to face. At the very least, these plumbing problems are a nuisance and are a nasty problem to resolve. But more often than not, these plumbing problems are not only bothersome and messy, but they can also lead to a great personal expense.
Like other potential household fixes and expenses, it’s best to fix minor problems as they happen, rather than wait until the issues lurking under the surface become more significant and troublesome, that being said, it may be difficult for the amateur eye to determine just what you should be doing to your home’s plumbing, and when you should be taking preventative measures.
Here are a few simple tricks you can be doing to your plumbing now to save you huge dollars later.
It may seem like common sense, but toilet paper should be the only material that is flushed down a toilet. You’d be surprised at the things that we’ve seen in people’s plumbing systems; but sometimes, they aren’t to blame. Items that can be marked as flushable, such as sanitary supplies, wipes, and cat litter, can still result in drastic clogs and repair bills.
Keep in mind that even seemingly insignificant objects like hair and bleach can lead to problems down the line. To avoid a build-up of hair in your tub, cover your drains with mesh screens and clean them frequently.
