Super Easy Ways To Avoid Plumbing Mishaps

 TIPS ON HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR PLUMBING AND AVOID PLUMBING SERVICE CALLS.

• Watch what you put down your kitchen sink. Dumping grease, chicken scraps, and tough fruit peels down your kitchen drain is a sure-fire way to clog your sink, no matter how good your disposal is.
• Use a hair trap. A metal or plastic hair trap that fits over the shower drain is a cheap, effective way to prevent annoying clogs and having to pull nasty hairballs out of the drain.
• Don’t flush wipes and hygiene products down the toilet. Hygiene products are not plumbing safe, and even the wipes that are supposedly flush-friendly are not. Toss them in the trash.
• Watch out for leaks. Not only do leaks waste water, they can also cause mold and dry rot. Check your pipes occasionally for any sign of water leaks, and call a Green Apple Plumbing & Mechanical NJ plumber ASAP if you see one.
• Reduce your water pressure. For about 8 to 10 dollars, you can buy a water pressure test gauge that twists onto your garden hose. If your water pressure is over roughly 80 PSI, then your plumbing is being strained, and there’s a high risk of leaking and failure. If the pressure is too high, hire a Green Apple Plumbing & Mechanical NJ plumber to install a pressure reducer (this is not the same thing as the water flow reducers often used in sinks and showers).
