Regular maintenance is key to avoiding plumbing problems and extending the life of your system. Here are some simple tips from Union City Plumbers to keep your plumbing in top shape.
1. Inspect for Leaks: Regularly check under sinks and around appliances for signs of leaks. Early detection can prevent major damage.
2. Clean Drains Regularly: Avoid clogs by cleaning your drains with safe, non-corrosive cleaners. Avoid pouring grease or large food particles down the drain.
3. Monitor Water Pressure: Use a pressure gauge to ensure your water pressure stays within a safe range (40-60 psi). High pressure can strain pipes and cause leaks.
4. Flush Your Water Heater: Sediment buildup in your water heater can reduce efficiency. Flushing it annually helps maintain performance and extends its lifespan.
5. Schedule Professional Inspections: Regular check-ups from Union City Plumbers can identify potential issues before they become serious, saving you time and money.
