7 Plumbing Tips for New Phoenix Home Owners

Congratulations on your new home in the Phoenix Valley!

Home Plumbing doesn't have to be overwhelming...

Regular maintenance and care can help identify and address minor plumbing issues before they turn

into major problems.

Fixing leaks, clogs, or damaged pipes early on can save you from expensive repairs down the line.

Neglected plumbing can cause significant damage to your property. Leaky pipes, burst pipes, or overflowing toilets

can lead to water damage, mold growth, and structural issues.

By taking care of your plumbing, you safeguard

your home and its value!

Here are some plumbing tips that can help you maintain your plumbing system and prevent plumbing problems:

• Locate the main shut-off valve: Knowing where the main shut-off valve is located is crucial in case of a plumbing emergency. If a pipe bursts or there is a leak, shutting off the main valve can prevent further damage and costly repairs.

• Don't flush non-degradable items: Flushing non-degradable items such as sanitary products, wipes, and paper towels can clog your pipes and cause backups. Only flush toilet paper and human waste.

• Check for leaks: Periodically check under sinks, around toilets, and behind appliances for signs of leaks. Catching a leak early can prevent water damage and mold growth.

• Use drain screens: Using drain screens in sinks, showers, and tubs can prevent hair, soap scum, and other debris from clogging your drains.

• Know your water heater: Familiarize yourself with your water heater and its maintenance needs. Flushing the tank and checking the pressure relief valve can prevent sediment buildup and prolong the life of your water heater.

• Avoid chemical drain cleaners: Chemical drain cleaners can damage your pipes and harm the environment. Use a plunger or a drain snake instead.

• Hire a professional plumber: Don't attempt major plumbing repairs or installations yourself if you aren't trained. Hire a licensed and insured plumber to ensure the job is done safely and correctly.

By following these plumbing tips, you can help maintain your plumbing system and prevent costly repairs.

Home should be a place where you feel comfortable in every room.
