Preparing Your Plumbing for the New Year

As another year begins, take comfort in knowing a plumber in Scottsdale, AZ, from Zippity Split Plumbing will always be at your service should you need assistance. Another way we serve our clients in the local area is by offering useful advice. Below, we present some tips to keep in mind to better prepare your plumbing for the new year.

Clean Your Drains

Reduce your need for emergency plumbing this year by cleaning your home’s drains. A safe way to do this is by mixing hot water with vinegar or baking soda and rinsing out your drains. If you’re already noticing slow drains or experiencing frequent clogs, give us a call to schedule a professional drain cleaning.

Lower Your Water Pressure

There is such a thing as too much of a good thing when it comes to water pressure. If the pressure of your water is too high, your pipes and fixtures can be over-stressed and more susceptible to breaks and leaks. If you have fluctuating water pressure, consider having a pressure regulator installed this year.

Take Care of ‘Little Things’ Now

It may not seem like a big deal if you put off minor plumbing repairs until later. However, the potential problem with doing this is having those minor repairs turn into bigger issues. So, kick off the new year by taking care of any of the following plumbing-related issues that may be affecting your plumbing system:

• Dripping faucets
• A water heater that doesn’t keep water hot long enough
• A toilet that runs too long
• Signs suggesting you may have an undetected leak
