🔧 **Top Plumbing Tips from JDB Plumbing LLC!** 🔧
1. **Prevent Clogs:** Avoid pouring grease, coffee grounds, or food scraps down the drain. Use drain covers to catch hair and debris.
2. **Fix Leaks Promptly:** A dripping faucet or running toilet can waste a lot of water. Address leaks as soon as you notice them.
3. **Know Your Shut-Off Valve:** Familiarize yourself with the main water shut-off valve in case of an emergency.
4. **Insulate Pipes:** Protect pipes from freezing in winter by adding insulation, especially in unheated areas.
5. **Don't Ignore Slow Drains:** Slow drains can indicate a blockage. Use a plunger or drain snake to clear it, or call a professional.
6. **Test Water Pressure:** Ensure your water pressure is between 40-60 psi to avoid strain on your plumbing system.
7. **Maintain Your Water Heater:** Flush your water heater annually to remove sediment and improve efficiency.
8. **Be Mindful of What You Flush:** Only flush toilet paper and human waste. Avoid flushing wipes, paper towels, or feminine hygiene products.
