Plumbing Tips That Will Save You Money

If you are first learning about plumbing, it can be a little overwhelming. Though like everything else, if you do a little research, learning, and take a lesson or two, you can pick it up fairly easily. Hopefully this article will increase you knowledge about plumbing so you’ll have more confidence with home repairs.

Ensure that if something goes wrong in your garbage disposal that you resist any and all urges you have that might make you want to put your hands inside to fix a problem. Garbage disposals can be dangerous, even if they are powered off. Go online and search for sketch of your disposal, or a troubleshooter.

Overflow Holes

Plumbing that constantly squeaks, pounds, and emits other noises is irritating but, fortunately, the problem is often easily fixed. Exposed pipes will have to be anchored. You may need the assistance of a professional in the case that the pipes are contained within a floor or ceiling.

Look at the overflow holes to ensure they aren’t clogged up. These passages allow your sink to fill up without overflowing onto your floor, and if they’re blocked that can cause you a major headache. Clean the overflow holes when you can, like when doing periodic checks for various other repairs and problems.

Do not use your toilet to get rid of garbage. You should never flush cotton balls, sanitary pads, tissues, paper towels, diapers, or certain other materials, because these things don’t dissolve and could clog up your toilet. Even toilet tissue should be used conservatively. Use enough to clean yourself, of course, but if you need to use wads of tissue you should flush several times in the process instead of waiting till the end.

Clean out your dryer’s lint filter. This saves you from potential problems, including the prevention of fires. Be sure to check the trap for tears and rips, because this can cause bigger problems as it may mean that lint is escaping into your pipes.

To prevent pipes in your house from freezing, do not let the temperature in the house dip below freezing. Also, any pipes exposed to the cold should be insulated. It is easy for pipes to freeze whenever the mean temperature near the pipes drop below freezing. It can take a while for the pipes to thaw, which means you will not be able to run water for quite some time. However, frozen pipes commonly break or crack pipes, leading to flooding and costly repairs.

In order to keep your plumbing bills as low as possible, keep in mind prevention is key. Clogged drains are one of the more common issues when it comes to plumbing problems. Too much hair will clog a drain. A great way to help prevent those clogs is to install a screen on top of the drain. Just make sure that it properly fits your drain. It’s a lot simpler to eliminate hair that is on a screen than eliminating it off a pipe.

Frozen Pipes

Frozen pipes can cause some very expensive plumbing repair jobs. Fortunately, frozen pipes are easy to prevent. Insulate your outside pipes. Before winter hits, turn off the water to the outside faucet and drain and store all of your hoses. If you do this, it will help you to save on repair bills.

You should have your septic tank pumped once every five years for best performance. Having it cleaned out prevents the sediment from accumulating in the septic tank and creating a sewage backup in your house or triggering the meltdown of the entire septic system. The cost to have your tank pumped might be a little steep, but it sure beats the alternative of dealing with sewage in your home or on your property.

Wasn’t quite so nasty, was it? Just like other aspects of life, there is much to learn about plumbing. For many they just need a bit of guidance so they know where to start. Hopefully, this article will help you in the future!
