Save your Bathroom Plumbing by avoiding these Shower habits!
While a lot of common plumbing repairs today are DIY and people do successfully accomplish tasks such as replacing a small faucet ring or changing the showerhead with some help from the hardware store, many issues still require a residential plumbing service.
Some of these problems arise due to things that we do carelessly every day and before we know it there is a leaky toilet or a shower fixture that is just not the same as before.
Here’s how you can avoid most bathroom plumbing issues and prevent them from turning into larger problems:
Flushing the Wrong Way
Children have a thing with stuffing everything in the toilet and looking at it magically disappear when they flush. Unfortunately this means they can experiment using toys and household items and even toilet paper. This can easily cause a huge blockage that will cause you to lose money and time in the long run. Not only that but these issues can increase over time and turn into something bigger.
Hang in there
When running out of space in your toilet it is natural to assume your shower can take some of the load and even shower racks when overloaded can cause some serious issues over time because it can weigh down the shower head. Replace this with a free-standing rack so there is no excess weight on your shower.
Hair Hair Everywhere
Unfortunately hair gathers in the drains and causes blockages. Make sure to clear out this regularly to avoid clogs. Hair guards available at the hardware store can solve these problems easily or pull them out with tweezers.
Hard Water
If you notice a white film on your bathroom fixtures then you might have a hard water problem. The water contains minerals that can damage the plumbing over time due to deposits. You can also use kits for testing whether your water is hard or not.
Say No to Drano
If you like the idea of easily clearing up your drains with a chemical solution then you must know that they produce caustic chemicals that affect your lungs and it is bad for the environment too! So say no to these and use snake cables to unclog your piper and drains or simply call a plumber.
