The New Year provides a perfect time for a fresh start with things around your home, including your plumbing. It’s vital to take care of it through routine maintenance to prevent emergency plumbing issues. Here are a few plumbing maintenance tips that Roto-Rooter Western Slope provides homeowners with for the start of the year.
Watch What You Put Down Your Drains
We recommend protecting your drains by watching you flash down your toilet to prevent clogging. Maintain your drains this year by not abusing your garbage disposal. Avoid things like potato peelings, bones, and large food particles going down the disposal. It’s best to avoid flushing baby wipes and female hygiene products down your toilet.
Flush Your Water Heater
Enlist the help of an experienced plumber in Rifle, CO, to service your water heater often if you have the conventional storage-tank water heater. It helps to prevent premature breakdowns. Our plumber will drain and flush your water heater every six months to remove the excess sediment for optimal performance.
Regular Professional Drain Cleaning
This year, avoid needing constant plumbing repairs by working with Roto-Rooter to clean your drains regularly professionally. Gunk collects inside your pipes over time, and the best solution is to clean them professionally. If you are already experiencing slow drains, that’s a sign of a developing clog. We use the latest technology, such as hydro-jetting, to remove the clog and prevent re-occurrence. We advise homeowners to avoid over-dependence on chemical drains as part of their plumbing maintenance for this year.
Fix Small Plumbing Issues
If you postpone repairs, a minor issue can quickly turn into a huge mess. If you have any need for prompt repairs, we are the plumbing company to count on. Maintain your entire system at its best by taking care of minor issues when you notice them, rather than postponing repairs.
You can extend your plumbing’s lifespan and avoid costly and unexpected repairs through regular maintenance with the above tips. Trust us for any plumbing service, including maintaining your home’s plumbing system in optimal performance throughout the year.
