Plumbing Advice for Your New Home

New house! Whether your lease is up and you are moving into a new apartment, or you have just bought your first home, you need to know how well the plumbing works. Here is some advice to follow to make sure your pipes don’t give you any trouble after you move into your dream home.

Find the Water Main

Knowing how to shut off the water supply is important. That’s because if a pipe bursts, you‘ll want to stop the flooding as quickly as possible. The best way to do that is to note where the water main is. You can look for it on the inspection report for your new home, but it’s also a good idea to go and look for it. Chances are, it’ll be in the basement. Make sure you can get to it whenever you need to – so don’t stack items in front of it.

Don’t Clog the Drain

Next, don’t clog your drains. It’s much easier to do this in the kitchen than in the bathroom. That’s because you’ll be inclined to pour grease, oil, and fats down the kitchen drain and through your garbage disposal. But what you might not realize is that you are doing serious damage to your plumbing. A blocked pipe can quickly become a nightmare. You’re much better off letting the oils and fats cool off before you throw them in the trash instead.

Use the Right Plunger

Keeping a plunger on hand is always a good idea. Whether you’re dealing with a clogged toilet or a blocked sink, having the right plunger can get rid of a nasty problem without you needing to do too much. Use a cup plunger for your sinks and bathtubs. If the toilet is the problem, then use a flange plunger instead.

Don’t Make the Water Too Hot

On cold winter mornings, you might want to turn the water’s heat up. Sometimes, turning it up in the shower just isn’t enough. This probably means you’ll go look at your water heater to see if you can adjust it. Don’t do this, because you could scald yourself.
