Plumbing Tips That Will Save You Money

June 29, 2013 by Shen

Water may be the source of all life, but it can also be a nemesis to the frustrated homeowner dealing with plumbing problems. Next to a natural disaster, the one thing that can ruin your home is a major plumbing issue. The good news is there are steps that every homeowner can take to stop plumbing nightmares from coming to life, and for fixing them before they get out of control.

If you possess pipes that are alive with the sound of squeaking or hammering, you have an issue that is easily corrected. You must anchor any type of exposed pipe. You may need to hire a professional to help with any projects involving pipes that are hidden in the floors, ceiling or walls.

A great tip to use to stop your septic tank from backing up is to make sure you have it pumped at least every five years. This will stop any buildup in your septic tank and prevent any horrible issues. While you may find it costly to get your septic tank cleaned out, the cost is much higher to have sewage and backups cleaned up and your septic tank repaired or replaced.

Avoid the use of products for your toilet that help with odor, such as bleach tablets. These products will reduce the smell, but they will also cause problems with the rubber gaskets. Over time, the damage will accumulate and could eventually stop the toilet from functioning at all.

If your toilet gets clogged, there is a low level of water in toilet, and the plunger is not working, you may fix the problem by dumping warm water from a bucket into your toilet from about waist level. The water needs to be at a low level again in order to repeat the process.

You need to be properly educated and prepared in order to stay away from plumbing problems. Homeowners who become knowledgeable about plumbing are better able to avoid plumbing disasters. Also, those who are educated on plumbing can fix issues easier.
