While there might not be a “holy grail” of plumbing systems, there are ways to ensure yours is as close to perfect as possible. Plumbing systems are complicated but taking care of them is pretty simple. The simplicity of it is in the fact that most major problems can be avoided by routine maintenance.

It’s also important to remember that not all home repairs should go the DIY route. When it comes to your plumbing system, leave it to your local plumbing pro. Keep reading for maintenance tips for keeping your plumbing system in tip-top shape!

Keep Pipes & Drains Clean to Keep Things Moving

Water spiraling down a drain A clogged pipe or drain isn’t fun. It’s annoying at best, and gross to have to deal with, especially standing in a shower with backed up water! You might think it’s a good idea to use a store-bought chemical to get rid of this problem.

It’s not. Over time these heavy chemicals can actually damage your plumbing system. That’s why it’s a good idea to avoid throwing the following down your drains:

  • Cooking grease
  • Excess toilet paper
  • Outdoor debris like dirt and rocks
  • Soapy hair
  • Heavy kitchen scraps
  • Cat litter

By keeping this debris away from your plumbing, you can avoid more serious clogs that will require professional removal.

  • Improved Performance: You probably haven’t thought much about how much water pressure you have. A quality plumbing system is one that works exactly as it should every time you need it, and having a plumber that can make it happen is key.

  • Guaranteed Work: The last thing you want is to be chasing your plumber the next time something goes wrong. A quality plumber always backs their work and ensures your satisfaction.
  • Affordable Rates: Plumbing repairs should not break your bank. Be sure to work with a plumbing company that works within your budget to find affordable services that work for your needs.
