Most homeowners like to keep their plumbing issues out of mind until the problem becomes an emergency. What most homeowners don’t know is that a few simple repairs and routine maintenance can save them a lot of money. Fixing, repairing, and replacing your plumbing will improve your water usage, prevent leaks, and keep other major issues from turning into costly plumbing emergencies.

If you want to save money and headaches in the future, follow the plumbing tips below:

#1: Clean your drains – When you allow food debris, hair, and other items to go down your drains, you’re creating a clog. Clogs cause backups that lead to pipe breakage. Put as little food or grease down your drain as possible to avoid clogs and further damage that will cost you a lot in repairs. Check your drains regularly to find any issues. If your drain hasn’t been working right, JD Service Now offers drain cleanings.

#2: Install low-flow toilets – One way to save money is by installing a low-flow toilet designed to reduce water usage per flush by 15% to 20%. Most modern toilets use around 6 liters (1.6 gallons) of water per flush. Switching to a low-flow toilet is a great way to waste less water every time you use the restroom.

#3: Repair cracks and leaks quickly – If you have noticed small damp patches on the walls, roof, or floor/ground, it can be an indication of cracked or leaking pipes. Even the smallest leak can waste one to two gallons of water every day. Damp patches may look like a small problem that don’t need immediate attention, but these issues can grow into serious plumbing issues. If you’re not sure how bad it is, contact one of our plumbing professions so we can inspect it.

#4: Routine Maintenance – A great way to save money is to take preventative measures. Be sure to take a look at your pipes, water meters, and anything else once a month or every few months. If you notice a problem, have it fixed right away. If you leave problems unattended, they can turn into bigger issues that will cost you more money to fix.

#5: Upgrade shower heads – We recommend installing a water-saving shower head that can cut your water usage by 50%. When you install a water-saving shower head, there’ll be an immediate difference in your water bill.
