5 Helpful Tips You may be thinking “I’m not a plumber, why would I need to know anything about plumbing?”. We’re not suggesting you take on a new profession, but here are a few things everyone should know about plumbing.
1. Shut-off Valves
You should always know the location of your home’s shut-off valves. In case of emergency, you should know where your shut-off valves are to avoid potential flooding and water damage.
2. Pipes
Know where the pipes in your home are located. When you decide to nail a photo to your wall or hang some shelving, make sure you aren’t risking a pipe puncture in the process
3. Drains
Know how your drains work and what you can and can’t flush down your drain. Avoid things like…
Pasta
Rice or other grains
Coffee grounds
Cooking oil
Butter
Egg shells
Flour
4. Plunger
Know how and when to use your plunger. Plungers can be used to unclog toilets and to remove clogs in sink drains. Invest in a high-quality plunger that will get the job done right.
5. Leaks
A tiny leak can mean a big problem. If you notice a leak, don’t ignore it! You may be ignoring water damage that you hadn’t even realized was there. For plumbing emergencies please call Prestige Plumbing at 330-828-8888. Our professional team is here to help 24/7.
