As you go about making resolutions for the new year, don’t forget about your plumbing! Take comfort in knowing an experienced plumber in Bloomfield Hills, MI, from Carter’s Plumbing can lend a hand with any of the plumbing maintenance tips for the new year discussed below.
Keep Your Drains Clean
A common reason for needing emergency plumbing assistance is because of a drain that’s clogged or one that’s backing up. Reduce the risk of having major drain issues during the new year by:
Watching what you put down your drains
Using strainers or grease traps
Scheduling routine drain cleanings
Know When DIY Isn’t the Best Choice
Tweaking your faucet to adjust the flow is very different than watching an online video and attempting to tackle more extensive plumbing repairs yourself. Resolve to make this year the year you err on the side of caution and reach out to our local pros for plumbing-related repairs. You’ll ultimately save yourself time, money, and needless frustration.
Flush Your Water Heater
Both traditional and tankless water heaters need to be regularly drained or “flushed” to get rid of excess sediment and debris. Doing this at least once a year can help extend the life of your water heater and boost efficiency.
Have Your Sewer Lines Inspected
Tree roots, accumulated debris, and undetected cracks are just some of the problems that can affect sewer lines. Maintain them better during the coming year by getting an inspection done so you know what steps you’ll need to take to address any issues sooner rather than later.
