Plumbing Tips, Tricks, And Techniques To Keep Your Pipes Clean

Posted on December 30, 2018November 12, 2019 by Louise B. Delia

If you haven’t before, then now is the perfect time for you to learn about the ins and outs of plumbing. Perhaps you have long been curious about the topic, but have not found the time to investigate it. Read the tips in this guide and you’ll be happy you did it if ever you experience any plumbing issues.

You can prevent frozen pipes within the home, by ensuring the temperature does not fall below freezing. Another important step is insulating pipes that are exposed to cold temperatures. Pipes have the potential to freeze if the surrounding temperatures are below the freezing mark. If they freeze, it will be awhile for them to gradually warm. Therefore, it will take some time for you to have running water again. But, they could also burst, causing a mess and a large repair bill.

Only pay pay the plumber once the job is done. You may have to put money down before they start working, but avoid paying the total amount until it’s done. This ensures that the plumber will not abandon the job midway, and will also care about the quality of their work more.

Make sure there is a strainer covering all drains in order to collect particles that would cause a clog if they went down the drain. You should clean your strainer in your kitchen anytime you have anything in it. Keep the bathroom drains cleaned out too.

If you want to make sure your garbage disposal is going to be around as long as the house it is inside of, make sure you clean it often. By regularly using a mixture of dish soap, cherry pits and citrus rinds, you can ensure that your disposal runs smoothly and smells as fresh as one that is brand new.

If you have any plumbing work that needs to be done, schedule it all to be done concurrently. It can be tempting to call a plumber each time you have a minor problem, but saving plumbing work for one time allows you to put money aside for the repairs. Also, combining smaller jobs into one larger job lets the plumber finish his work faster and therefore saves you money.

It is important to run your faucet with cold water whenever you run your garbage disposal. The cold water keeps your blades sharp, which helps your disposal run smooth. Running hot water down the drain while you are using the garbage disposal can cause the drain to clog from any grease that is in there liquefying.

If the hose that leads to your kitchen sink has not been maintained or installed properly, you may notice that water is constantly draining to the dishwasher. The hose from your sink to your dishwasher needs to go upward before going back down so that there is no mixing between fixtures.

As you can see, it really helps to understand your home’s plumbing system. You can now offer your plumbing knowledge as a resource for your friends and family, while also saving yourself a good chunk of money on plumbing repairs. By now, you’ve learned valuable concepts that will help you going forward.
