3 Tips from the Air & Energy Plumbers

Our plumbers work in Bradenton homes every day. Here are three of their top tips to help you avoid common plumbing headaches.

1. Don’t Ignore Small Leaks

A dripping faucet or a slow leak under a sink may seem minor, but over time they can waste hundreds of gallons of water and lead to mold, wood rot, and structural damage. Fix small leaks before they become big problems.

2. Be Careful What You Flush

Toilets are designed to handle human waste and toilet paper — nothing else. Wipes (even “flushable” ones), paper towels, feminine products, and cotton balls are among the most common causes of serious clogs and sewer backups.

3. Know Your Main Shutoff Valve

Every homeowner should know where the main water shutoff valve is and confirm it works. In a burst pipe emergency, being able to shut off the water quickly can prevent thousands of dollars in damage. Call Air & Energy at 941-778-0773 for plumbing service in Bradenton and the surrounding area.
