Your plumbing system is perhaps the most important of the overlooked and neglected systems in your home. Few homeowners think about their plumbing until something goes wrong. Take the time to keep your pipes in good working order by avoiding the following problem areas:
Trash: The only things that belong in the plumbing is water and in the case of the toilet approved types of toilet paper. Nothing else should be washed down the drain or flushed down the pipes.
Hair: Hair may be biodegradable but this does not mean it cannot cause plumbing problems. It can take a long time for a hair clog to deteriorate so it can lead to major drain blocks and clogs!
Chemicals: When stubborn clogs don’t respond to basic methods, some homeowners may turn to harsh chemicals and cleaners to clear the clog and this in turn can damage your pipes and plumbing system.
Grease: Grease and oil are often washed down the drain when washing dishes and while they go down in liquid form they will congeal as they cool and can create a massive plumbing nightmare in the drains.
Food: It is important not to let food particles get washed down the drain because they will not only cause clogs and draining issues but they can cause your pipes to smell and stink up your entire home!
