Root Intrusion and What it Means For Home Plumbing
Simple Plumbing Tips to Help Protect Your Home
Today, more than ever before homeowners are looking for ways to save money and extend the life of an existing plumbing system. Here are a few useful and informative tips that can ultimately keep your home plumbing operating normally for many years to come. For example, there are certain types of foods that can easily clog a typical kitchen drain. This includes everything from pasta to rice and eggshells as well as coffee grounds, celery, banana skins, grease and even potato peels.
Undesirable Garbage Disposal Smell
Avoid placing these items in the drain as a way to keep all household plumbing operating normally. Also keep in mind that a garbage disposal will eventually smell if it is not properly cared for on a routine basis. The easiest way to avoid undesirable garbage disposal smells is to occasionally add ice cubes to the disposal and grind as necessary. It is also a good idea to occasionally flush the system with cold water. Ultimately, one of the best ways to avoid undesirable smells originating from a garbage disposal is to simply add pieces of lemon and grind in order to keep a disposal clean and fresh smelling.
Making Use of an Aerator
In addition, any time a drain backs up in your home it is important to avoid allowing any more water to go down the drain. Excessive water back-flow can ultimately cause water damage resulting in expensive repairs. As an added note, it is easy to reduce water usage and ultimately water bills by simply making use of an aerator that is designed to reduce water flow. Aerators are easy to install and inexpensive.
