3 Ways to Prevent Plumbing Problems

The best way to deal with plumbing problems is to prevent them in the first place. Here are three things you can do to keep your plumbing running smoothly.

1. Know Where Your Shut-Off Valve Is

In the event of a plumbing emergency, knowing where your main water shut-off valve is can prevent major water damage. Make sure every adult in your household knows where it is and how to use it.

2. Watch What You Flush

Toilets are designed to handle human waste and toilet paper — nothing else. Flushing items like wipes (even “flushable” ones), cotton balls, or paper towels can lead to serious clogs.

3. Schedule Regular Plumbing Maintenance

Regular inspections by a professional plumber can catch small problems before they become big, expensive ones. Contact Air & Energy at 941-778-0773 to schedule a plumbing check-up.
