5 Helpful Home Plumbing Tips

1) The most important to remember if there is a plumbing emergency is to turn off your water supply as it will help prevent further damage from occurring. Therefore, it's critical to know where the main shut-off valve is located in your home or business. Take the time to know where to shut down the main water supply as well as the house side water valves are located to sinks and faucets.

2) Winterize your home by applying weather stripping to your doorways and windows and wrap exposed pipes with insulation sleeves or towels/blankets/rags in order for them to not freeze during extremely harsh cold weather. It will only take a small drip over a few minutes through a frozen pipe to cause it to burst.

3) When it's time for a long overdue holiday it's a good idea to turn off the water flow to your sinks and toilets before going. These are generally located behind the toilet and underneath the sink.

4) If you're experiencing lower water pressure in the shower there may be a mineral build up in your showerhead. You can place a cup of vinegar in a plastic bag and twist tie it to the showerhead overnight. This will loosen the mineral deposits so you can use an old toothbrush to scrape this out which should improve your water pressure.

5) Before purchasing a new home it's always a good idea to have a professional plumbing inspection done. There is a host of factors in any plumbing system which could affect your decision to purchase including previous plumbing repairs to completed correctly. If it's an older home ensure to check the type of pipes to know if an upgrade will become necessary in the near future. If you are considering purchasing a home in a rural area make sure to have the septic tank inspected as well.
