Expert Plumbing Tips From Bayer’s Plumbing, Inc.
Outside Faucets
During cold months, be sure to remove hoses & adapters from outside faucets.
Toilets
Do not put any type of cleaners in the tank portion of your toilet. These chemical products are actually difficult on toilet tank parts & may shorten the lifespan. Also, do not flush flushable wipes or feminine hygiene products as they may cause serious clogs.
Garbage Disposals
Refrain from chemical cleaners. A little lemon juice & ice will clean the disposal just as well & cheaper! When using your disposal, be sure to run your water for 15-30 seconds prior to turning the disposal on, during disposal use, & 15-30 seconds after you shut the disposal off. Remember, no stringy fruits & veggies or peels, and be sure to run plenty of water with potato skins or pasta.
Main Water Shut-Off
Do you know where your main water shut-off is? If not, find out. If you have a serious leak, you can shut the water off to your home and spare your home major water damage.
Kitchen Sinks
Having trouble with the basin of your sink scratching? Consider a sink basin grid. These grids are recommended by most manufacturers and help protect the bottom of your sink from excessive wear and tear.
