Top Causes of Plumbing Problems
Looking to avoid common plumbing problems?
Have you ever discovered a leak under your sink after it’s already damaged your cabinet?
By steering clear of these common plumbing pitfalls, you can reduce your utility bills and cut down on costly, frequent repairs.
Don’t Delay Plumbing Repairs
Even a small leak in your bathroom sink might seem minor and easy to ignore, but leaving it unattended can quickly lead to bigger problems. Over time, a simple drip can damage your pipes, cabinets, and wooden fixtures.
That seemingly small leak can also result in:
- Higher water bills as wasted water adds up.
- Reduced indoor air quality due to mold or mildew growth. Contaminated air is a leading environmental health risk, potentially causing headaches, fatigue, dry skin, runny eyes, and issues for allergy or asthma sufferers.
- Structural damage to your home if water continues to seep into surrounding areas.
Addressing a leak promptly helps prevent these issues and keeps repair costs far lower than if you wait until the problem worsens.
Don’t Throw Food Waste in the Drain
It might be tempting to rinse leftover food down the drain, but this can lead to plumbing problems over time. Foods like coffee grounds, tea leaves, and fibrous scraps don’t break down easily and can build up, causing clogs. Pouring grease or oil down the sink can also solidify and block your pipes, leading to costly repairs.
Don’t Wash Hair Down the Drain
Even small amounts of hair from shaving over the sink or washing down the shower can combine with grease, soap, and other debris to create serious drain blockages. To prevent this, use mesh drain guards to catch hair before it enters your pipes.
Don’t Allow Dirt to Clog Your Pipes
Frequently washing mud and dirt down your drains can lead to build-ups and blockages. To prevent this, shake off or hose away as much dirt as possible outside before washing the remainder in your sink.
Avoid Soap Bars With Fat
While most soaps wash down your drain easily, many traditional bar soaps contain grease and fat. These fats can combine with minerals in your water, leaving behind soap scum in your pipes. Over time, this build-up can lead to clogs. Using a different type of soap can help reduce residue and keep your drains flowing smoothly.
Don’t Toss Objects in the Toilet
Even small items can damage or block your pipes, so never flush cotton swabs, feminine hygiene products, or other toiletries down the toilet — only toilet paper and human waste belong there.
Preventing plumbing problems before they start can save you money on water bills, reduce repair costs, and spare you unnecessary frustration. Making small changes in your daily habits can help avoid common plumbing issues, but if a problem does arise, our professional team is here to help.
