More Common Plumbing Problems

Clogged Drains; this can be avoided with one simple step: Be careful with what you pour down the drain especially in the kitchen sink. If you're really careless, try getting a drain strainer so any large chunks you pour down are sifted. All you have to do is take out the strainer and throw the sifted stuff in the trash.

Faucet Leaks; leaving leaky faucets causes you a lot of money in the long run. Leaks have been proven to be the cause of the 4% increase in your water bill. Save your plumbing fixtures by gently turning them off, avoiding turning the knobs so hard when you're done using them.

Pipe Leaks; this is a plumbing problem that can cause extensive damage to your floors, walls, and belongings. To prevent a small leak from worsening, it is a good idea to check pipes regularly for rust or white lime deposits that indicate the beginnings of a leak.
