You can save money on plumbing by taking good care of your home’s pipes. Caring for your pipes and plumbing system can include taking the following steps:
Avoiding harsh drain cleaners, which can damage your pipes
Choosing low-flow toilets for less water usage per flush
Flushing your drains regularly with equal parts vinegar and baking soda
Memorizing where your home’s water shut-off valve is located in case of emergency
Perform routine maintenance by checking pipes, water meters, and other fixtures at least quarterly
Tackling small problems like running toilets or leaky faucets right away
If you’re concerned about costs, choosing a home warranty plan with plumbing coverage can help cover costs on problems resulting from normal wear and tear.
