All of us at Gold Medal Plumbing and Drain want to first and foremost wish you and your Northern Utah household a very Happy New Year!
We understand how this time of year is when many people need to look closer at their residential plumbing systems, and New Year's resolutions can always apply to your property's plumbing.
Below we're going over a handful of New Year's resolutions and upgrades to extend the lifespan of your plumbing system:
Most drain cleaning products entail incredibly harmful chemicals that quickly corrode pipes. Every professional plumber will say the same thing when it comes to these drain cleaners: these products only temporarily resolve clogs and other drainage issues.
It's also important to remember that good bacteria within your septic tank effectively break down solid waste, and these drain cleaners can also negatively impact this type of bacteria.
Consider Installing A Drain Catcher
Drain catchers are very useful in minimizing the possibility of insoluble materials going down your drains. Drain catchers also help encourage homeowners to invest in routine drain cleaning.
Considering a drain catcher installation in your sinks this year is a great idea because these primary devices go a long way to prolong your garbage disposal's lifespan!
Many products market themselves as flushable, but the truth is that these types of wipes are often incredibly detrimental to plumbing systems everywhere.
We all want to believe that these products are safe for pipes, so it's essential to come to terms with the reality of these products. An excellent alternative to flushing these wipes is to place a trash bin next to your toilet for these products.
Appropriately Taking Care Of Your Garbage Disposal
We all know how convenient garbage disposals are when grinding down food particles and helping them pass through your pipes, but these valuable plumbing appliances must be taken care of every year.
There are plenty of products that should never go down your garbage disposal, including:
There are countless ways to reduce the water your household wastes this year, and the most straightforward strategy is to simply turn your taps off when they're not being used.
Rainfall collecting for gardening and recycling your dishwasher's gray water can also be great ways to conserve your household's overall water usage!
The best way to ensure the overall integrity of your home's plumbing system is to invest in professional maintenance appointments from our Master Plumbers.
