If you own a home, you know how expensive plumbing work can be. That is why catching problems before they get out of hand can save you a lot of money each year. In this way, it is a good idea to check your plumbing at least once a year, as well as monitor any developing issues year-round. Below you will find a list of tips to keep your plumbing healthy and save you some cash.

Have a leaking showerhead?

This can lead to a large water bill. Always address any leaking faucets or pipes to save on water.

Have a slow drain?

It may seem like a minor inconvenience, but over time these can become major clogs and need professional intervention.

Low water pressure?

This may be due to mineral build-ups on showerheads or faucets. These can be cleaned with vinegar, or a light mineral deposit solution.

Toilet running?

You may need to fix the flapper or chain inside your toilet tank. Chains often get hung up on the flapper, so it may need adjustment.
