Everyday Habits That Can Save You Money
Monitor what enters your drains — avoid grease, coffee grounds, food scraps, wipes, sanitary products, and cotton swabs. Use a pressure gauge periodically to confirm your water pressure is within a safe range. Run hot water weekly down infrequently used sinks to maintain traps. Annual professional water heater flushing should be on the calendar, not optional.
When It's Time To Call In A Pro
Some issues exceed what homeowners can safely address. Slab leaks, main line clogs, water heater failures, and sewer backups require professional diagnosis and repair. Call a licensed plumbing company if you notice unexplained pooling water, a spiking water bill with no change in usage, consistently low pressure, persistent clogs that come back after clearing, or unusual sounds from pipes or the water heater.
