Valuable Indian Wells Plumbing Tips

By Rae Patricio


Many people experience plumbing problems in the home. However, most of these situations can be avoided with some common sense and preventative care. Here are some helpful plumbing tips from your local Indian Wells CA plumber to help you avoid a lot of headaches.

Before you rinse off dishes and cookware, wipe them off with old paper towels. This will keep grease and food particles from getting inside of your home's drain pipes. Grease is a major reason for stopped up drains as it will harden in pipes and create a greasy buildup. Cleaning out drains with grease clogs can be messy if you have to remove traps under the sink, so a little prevention saves a lot of trouble.

Small drips may not seem like much, but they can add up over time. In the Coachella Valley, water is a precious resource and the less you use, the better it is for the environment. Also, a dripping faucet can eventually flood a septic drain field. When you notice dripping, fix it as soon as possible and this will save you money.

Check your toilet bowl occasionally. If you see the water shimmering, it usually means that the flush valve is leaking. These valves are inexpensive and very simple to replace, and you may only need to buy a new flap. This will save a lot of water.

If a water pipe were to suddenly burst, you would need to shut off the main water supply as soon as possible. That is why you must know exactly where the shut-off valve is located on your property. Also, be sure the entire family knows, so you can avoid major water damage in the future.

When you have water leaks or stopped up drains in the home, your Indian Wells plumbing professional is only a phone call away. He will inspect your plumbing and fix any problems that you have. In fact, your plumber is available for you all hours of the day and night for emergencies.
