Don’t Let Your Hard Earned Money Go Down the Drain

Plumbing costs can rise to the height of a tsunami. It seems like in the blink of an eye one little leak can turn into Niagara Falls. There are some things to look out for that can save you money in the long run and keep your money from going down the drain.

The first thing that you can do is test your water pressure. The pipes in your home are only able to withstand so much pressure and if your pressure regulator is out of whack your showers are either really weak or you orare in danger of a leak. To prevent that pick upa water pressure gauge and find out if you have issues with the water pressure regulator installed. It’s a small cost now to avoid a large cost later.

Have the supply lines replaced on your sinks and washing machine or do it yourself if you are handy. Steel braided lines are suggested by many professionals and it is a small price to pay to avoid a huge issue later on; another easy plumbing hack? Replace the shut off valves in your home.

If you have a plumbing issue and it starts shooting out of your sink like a geyser, you will be relieved when you can shut the water off quickly to avoid more damage. The modern replacement piece is a quarter turn ball valve.
