Common Problems
One of the most common problems is the kitchen trash disposal unit. You can avoid many problems if you don’t put in certain things such as bones, glass, cooking oil, coffee or potato peels. These can trigger many plumbing problems you don’t have to necessary experience.
Always, make sure before you start any plumbing repairs you have plenty of containers to catch running water. Even if the water system is turned off, there is still plenty of water left. Think larger house, larger system – more containers.
Before turning the system off make sure the valves are in perfect working order. The last thing you want is a broken valve you can’t turn it off.
Also, the right idea is to flush your warm water heating system before the winter to get rid off any debris buildup over the time. You will extend the life of your heating system in the long run.
Make sure all females in your house understand importance not to flush sanitary items. These products are very often the reason for severe clogs in plumbing systems.
