Plumbing Professional

Every once in a while, it is beneficial to run hot water down your drains to help keep them free-flowing. If you are dealing with a leaky faucet, it is important to get it repaired as soon as possible to avoid the expense and inconvenience of having to completely replace the faucet or fixture. By fitting your tub or shower with strainers, soap chips and hair can be caught and prevented from clogging the pipes. Clean these strainers regularly to avoid extreme blockages. Anything besides toilet paper should not be put into the toilet, because other items may not dissolve properly and can lead to clogs.

It is important to never pour liquid grease down the drain, but instead wipe grease from pots and pans with a paper towel and throw them away in the trash. Hard-to-grind, stringy, or fibrous waste should not be put into the garbage disposal. If your garbage disposal is starting to cause a foul odor, it may benefit you to grind ice cubes and orange or lemon rinds in the garbage disposal for about 30 seconds, followed by a small amount of liquid dish detergent.

Although a dripping faucet may seem like a minor issue, it can escalate into a larger plumbing matter if it is not handled quickly enough.
