Plumbing problems are among the most dreaded household issues. They can be costly and disruptive to daily life. Here are a few easy ways to prevent small plumbing issues from turning into major headaches.
Fix Leaky Fixtures
Constant drips can be both irritating and expensive. Usually, the culprit is a worn-out O-ring or washer that needs replacing.
Avoid Clogged Drains
Hair in the bathroom sink or food scraps in the kitchen sink often lead to slow drains. Over time, these particles build up and create partial blockages. A plunger can help clear these blockages.
Prevent Toilet Overflows
The most important rule: NEVER flush anything other than human waste and toilet paper! Items like cigarettes, tampons, paper towels, and toys don’t break down and can eventually cause blockages and overflows.
Prevent Burst Pipes
While South Florida doesn’t usually experience freezing temperatures, drastic temperature changes can still impact your pipes. In older homes with metal pipes, wear and tear can lead to bursting. It’s a good idea to replace metal pipes with modern PVC for better durability.
