4 Plumbing Resolutions to Make for 2017 By :

Plumbing Service

As 2017 approaches, many of us start thinking about New Year’s resolutions, things we will do to improve our lives in the upcoming year. So, while you are making those resolutions, don’t forget to throw in a few for your plumbing system as well. Keeping your plumbing system problem free will also help you improve your life. Here are a few resolutions you might want to consider.

I will have a plumber inspect my plumbing system.

There are three big reasons why you want to do this. First, it will help you to know how your system is working and if there are any problems that need to be fixed. It’s better to fix them now while they are small before they become big problems.

Second, the plumber can spot places where he can improve the operation and cost-effectiveness of your plumbing system, such as turning down the temperature of your water heater.

Third, if you know what condition your system is in, you can better plan for the future and what repairs you will need to make.

I will do more to save water and cut down on my water bill.

There are many ways to do this. One is by installing water saver shower heads and water saver toilets. Another is not letting the water run when you are brushing your teeth, shaving or washing dishes. And repairing leaks as quickly as possible will do a lot to prevent your water bill from going through the roof.

I will take better care of my plumbing system.

You can easily do this by using common sense. For example, don’t put things down the toilet that don’t belong there. The only thing that should be in the toilet is human waste and toilet paper. Use screens for your sink and bathtub drains to prevent things that don’t belong from going down the drain. Don’t put grease down your kitchen sink. And watch what you put in the garbage disposal.

I will do what I can to maintain my plumbing system.

This begins, as mentioned, with leak repair. Take care of leaks right away. Otherwise, you will lose a lot of water and a lot of money. Clean faucet aerators regularly to prevent build up, which can affect water pressure. Clean your shower head regularly as well. And inspect your toilets on a regular basis to spot any leaks. Use baking soda to clean your drains.
