Tips for Keeping Your Plumbing in Top Shape
Here are a few easy ways to look after your home’s plumbing between visits.
- Do not flush wipes or sanitary items, even “flushable” ones.
- Use drain strainers to catch hair or food scraps.
- Avoid pouring grease down the sink.
- Check for leaks around taps and pipes regularly.
- Keep gutters and downpipes clear of leaves.
- Call a plumber early if something does not seem right.
A little attention goes a long way toward preventing major headaches.
Why Professional Plumbing Matters
DIY might seem tempting, but plumbing is one of those things best left to a professional.
A small mistake can lead to:
