6 Plumbing Tips Every Homeowner Should Know

Know Where Your Shutoff Valve Is

Before a leak happens, locate your main water shutoff valve. It’s usually in the basement or utility room near where the water line enters your home. Shutting it off quickly can prevent major water damage.

Never Pour Grease Down the Drain

Grease and cooking oil solidify in your pipes and cause serious clogs over time. Always dispose of grease in a container and throw it in the trash. Use drain strainers to catch food particles.

Don’t Ignore a Dripping Faucet

A faucet dripping once per second wastes over 3,000 gallons of water per year. More importantly, drips are often an early sign of a worn seal or valve that will eventually fail completely. Fix it early.

Protect Pipes from Freezing

Michigan winters are harsh. Insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas like garages and crawl spaces. During extreme cold, let faucets drip slightly to keep water moving. A burst frozen pipe can cause tens of thousands in damage.

Flush Your Water Heater Annually

Sediment builds up at the bottom of your water heater tank over time, reducing efficiency and shortening its lifespan. Flushing it once a year keeps it running efficiently and extends its life by years.

Watch What You Flush

Only toilet paper should be flushed. “Flushable” wipes, paper towels, cotton balls, and hygiene products do not break down and are a leading cause of sewer line blockages. When in doubt, throw it in the trash.
