5 Ways To Avoid The Heartache Of Plumbing Problems This Valentine’s Day
The only thing that should be overflowing this month is your love. And let’s face it – there’s nothing quite like plumbing troubles to ruin a perfectly good day with that special someone! Here are 5 ways you can avoid the heartache of plumbing problems this Valentine’s Day.
1. Repair Clogged Drains
If you have any clogged drains that need your attention, don’t wait any longer to address them. You don’t want to deal with these clogs when you’re trying to get ready for a special day or night with your valentine, do you? When you go to repair your clogged drains, however, make sure you do so without the use of chemicals. Instead of pulling that drain cleaner off from your shelf, look into hiring a professional drain cleaning company. Chemical drain cleaner can cause more harm to your pipes, and actually eat away at them, so it’s best to steer clear of the use of chemicals.
2. Fix Any Leaks Right Away
Do you notice your faucet dripping, or water pooling around your toilet? While these may seem like no big deal at first glance, and something easy to manage, they can lead to high water bills id not addressed right away. Not only that, but if significant enough, they can also cause water damage and ruin valuable items around your home. No matter how big or small the leak is, always fix it right away. It’s better to fix minor issues before they escalate into something bigger.
3. Dispose of Candy in the Trash
After you finish indulging in those heart-shaped chocolates and candy hearts, make sure you dispose of any extra candy (or wrappers) in the trash can. If you dispose of them in the garbage disposal, there’s a chance they could get stuck and end up clogging your pipes. It’s important to remember that your garbage disposal isn’t a substitute for a trash can. Other items that don’t belong down your drains also include: bones, grease, fat, oil, coffee grounds, potato peels, bones, fibrous vegetable, seeds, pits, and more.
4. Listen To Your Plumbing
On Valentine’s Day, you want to give you full attention to your date. Before you begin celebrating, listen to your plumbing so you can really listen to your special someone without distractions. Do you hear your toilet running? Is there dripping coming from your faucet? Is your water heater making strange noises? Really listen to make sure everything sounds how it should, and if there’s anything that doesn’t sound right, address it right away by calling your local plumber.
5. Maintain Your Plumbing System
