- Tips - Follow These Tips to Keep Your Plumbing System Problem Free
| Don't pour greasy waste down the sink, but if you do, don't follow with warm water, as this will melt the grease allowing it to coat the drainage pipes. | |
|
|
Don’t throw stringy fibrous material into the disposal. The disposal does not grind these adequately. |
|
|
Turn on the cold water at least 15 seconds before you turn on the disposal, and keep it running briefly afterward. This helps flush waste down the main line. |
|
|
Make sure the disposal is running when you place food debris into it. Don’t wait until it’s full to turn it on. |
|
|
If you are enjoying company, don’t take all your showers at the same time. Take some at night or wait at least 10 minutes between showers. |
|
|
You can turn the temperature up on your water heaters a bit to provide more hot water but do not go above 125 degrees F to avoid burns and scalding. This is especially true for small children, elderly citizens, and babies. |
|
|
Don’t use your toilet as a waste basket. Cotton balls, Q-Tips, hair, facial scrubs, and feminine hygiene products do not dissolve and may clog your drains. |
|
|
Give low-flush toilets an extra flush every now and then to assist with proper draining of waste materials. |
