As a homeowner, you’re probably aware of the benefits in performing regular maintenance on the major heating and cooling systems you depend on to keep your home comfortable. One system that operates quietly in the background and is often overlooked until problems occur is your plumbing system.
Issues do occur in plumbing systems, so the following plumbing tips will help you to perform regular preventive maintenance on your plumbing system, saving the time and cost involved when hiring a plumber. Do keep in mind that anything other than a simple repair job usually requires the skill of a professional plumber.
Kitchen
Do not ignore a leaking or running toilet. Tank repair kits are readily available and easily installed, but leaks may require professional repairs.
Run hot water down sink drains for 10 to 20 seconds every week to keep them free-flowing.
Fit shower and bathtub drains with strainers to catch hair and soap.
Finally, make sure everyone in the house knows where the main water shutoff is in case of an emergency.
