Your bathrooms are the most-used areas of your home, and this means the plumbing gets a workout. Bathroom plumbing should therefore be inspected at least once every month to detect any building problems. Here are some recommendations from the best bathroom plumbers in Sheboygan and Plymouth for avoiding bathroom plumbing issues.
Advice On How To Avoid Bathroom Plumbing Issues
Flush the Pipes with Hot Water
Once a week flush out the drainage pipes with hot water. This helps dislodge any debris and prevent buildups. It also reveals any slow drains or partial clogs that should be addressed.
Repair Any Leaks Immediately
Small or intermittent leaks will not get better — only worse. Turn off faucets to be sure they work properly. If the leak persists, remove the aerator and clean it out. Continuing leaks may require washer replacement.
Prevent Debris from Going Down the Drain
Hair and soap can form incredibly tough clogs when they mesh together in your drains and pipes. Use strainers in your showers and tubs to catch hair and anything that can damage or clog the pipes.
Ensure the Toilet Flushes Properly
Flush the toilets in your home and see if they fill slowly or continue running after the bowl is filled. Running toilets waste enormous amounts of water. Slow-filling toilets are a sign maintenance is needed.
Know What to Flush Down the Toilet
Never flush anything down the toilet but waste and toilet paper. Throw trash (like tissues, cotton balls, sanitary napkins, wipes, etc.) in the wastebasket.
Remove Mineral Deposits from Your Shower Head
Place one cup of vinegar in a plastic bag and attach that plastic bag over your shower head to remove the mineral deposits. You can also remove the shower head and immerse it in a vinegar and water solution if it comes off easily.
