Every person in the United States has experienced plumbing problems at one point or another. The most unfortunate part about that is that most of them could have been prevented with proper plumbing maintenance. Plumbing maintenance isn’t hard, but it’s easy to forget.
It takes discipline to take care of your pipes.
The most common plumbing problems are clogs. So the question becomes how can you prevent a clog? First, if you want to fix your plumbing problems you’ll need a good plunger or a snake. In case you didn’t know, there are different plungers that you should use for the sink and for the toilet. They look very different.
Once you know how to fix a clog, you need to learn how to prevent them. First of all, the only thing that should be going down your drains is waste, water, and toilet paper. That’s it. Flushable wipes aren’t as flushable as they advertise and sanitary items should never go into a toilet.
Water heaters are also a common problem area in your plumbing system. These also need to be maintained. Sediment can collect at the bottom of your heater and cause you to have some issues with your water.
