Homeownership can be very expensive. Bills from water to electric need paying, other appliances may need repairing, and that is all on top of managing a balanced lifestyle. Therefore, avoiding any additional headaches is always preferable.

For plumbing, there are a number of useful, non-invasive, cost-efficient ways of ensuring that your plumbing lasts for as long as possible while still providing all of the functionality that it should. In addition, a big positive to this preventative style of housekeeping is that you will, in all likelihood, spend less money on repairs or hiring a professional plumber johor bahru to maintain your plumbing system.

Invest in Protecting Your Drains

If your household is like many others, the drain that leads to the garbage disposal is uncovered, allowing any and all food particles to enter into the garbage disposal. Although this is not necessarily bad, it is much more likely to shorten the time that you are able to use your garbage disposal effectively. Instead, purchase a drain screen from one of your local retailers to cover up the drain. A drain screen blocks larger food particles from entering your drain while still ensuring that all of the smaller food particles can still enter. This puts less stress on the garbage disposal which enables it to last for longer.

In addition, you can purchase drain screens for the other drains in your house. Examples include drain screens for bathroom sinks and for the bathtub drains. Instead of allowing all of the discarded hair and dirt to wash down the drain to gum up the plumbing system, let the drain screen take the brunt of that. Then, after the drain is full, you can simply empty the contents of the screen into the garbage.

Protect Your Garbage Disposal

A drain screen also should dissuade you from pouring any kind of grease down into the kitchen drain. If the grease is not fully washed out of the drain before it cools down, it begins to harden and prevent the garbage disposal from working efficiently. Instead of pouring it down the drain, you can cool it down in a container and throw it into the garbage instead.

If you are heavily invested in keeping the garbage disposal running for as long as possible, there are a couple of other tips that could help. First, when rinsing the garbage disposal to remove any food particles, use cold water instead of hot water. Again, if there was any grease in the food that was washed down previously, hot water would possible allow it to damage the workings. Second, leave the water running for around thirty minutes to wash everything down the drain. 

Plan for Regular Maintenance

Finally, make time to check up on your plumbing system and flush it out with some kind of product. Make a schedule for this so that you do not forget. One recommendation for a product to use is baking soda. Allow warm water to run over the baking soda so that it can seep into the hard-to-reach spots in the drains, and then pour one cup of vinegar, just like a baking soda volcano. When the next day comes, allow hot water to flush the remainder of the solution out. Keep all of these tips in mind when you maintain your plumbing system and it should keep going for some time to come.
