Plumbing leaks can become a major issue if not taken care of properly. A small clog or tiny leak can turn into an expensive plumbing repair in no time. There are things you can do to prevent pipe leaks in your Mesa home. At Zona Restoration, we recommend you follow these three tips in order to keep your home’s plumbing in top-notch condition.
Having strong water pressure is great when you’re taking a shower. If it’s too strong though, it can cause a leak within the pipes in your plumbing system. The only way to really tell if the water pressure is too high is to use a pressure gauge. Attach it to a faucet in your home and check the water pressure. It shouldn’t be any higher than 80 psi. If it is too high, you can add a pressure regulator to your main water line.
Clogged pipes don’t only occur in your home. The pipes that lead from your house to the sewer system can become infiltrated with tree roots, soil, and other items. This can cause a backup of wastewater and sewage, that if not taken care of sooner rather than later, can result in leaking, cracking, or clogged pipes. Taking note of any trees or large bushes that are near plumbing lines can help to prevent large foliage from infiltrating your home’s pipes.
Drains that are obstructed can cause added pressure on your plumbing system. By not placing certain items down your drain, you can do your part in preventing obstructed pipes, which can lead to broken pipes. Avoid placing these items in the drain: eggshells, coffee grounds, seeds, grease, and oil. Also, avoid flushing anything but toilet tissue and human waste down the toilet as that can also lead to clogged and leaking pipes.
