“Unlock the Secrets: 7 Ingenious Hacks to Keep Your Pipes Flowing and Your Wallet Happy!”
Don’t Go With A Septic Tank
When it comes to your plumbing, septic tanks are not the way to go for many households. If you have a septic tank system, the lateral septic lines are buried beneath your property, and because they’re out of sight, they’re easy to forget about.
So, if you’re digging on your property or are driving heavy vehicles on top, you can end up breaking one of the pipes. Not only will you quite literally have a mess on your hands but a big bill to fix it.
Trash Is For The Trash Can
Even though it’s something that you learn as a child, some people need to be reminded that you don’t put anything in the toilet that doesn’t belong there. If you can, avoid putting feminine products, cotton swabs, paper towels, makeup-removers, and even supposedly “flushable” cat litter.
Many of these products aren’t designed to break down in liquid and put you at risk of clogging your pipes. Most people have a trash can in their bathroom anyway, so use that instead.
Don’t Overpack Things Under The Sink
It’s not unusual for households to use the space under the sink as an area to store kitchen and bathroom cleaners, towels, or other items you don’t necessarily want out in the open.
While this is okay, it’s important not to cram as much as you can under there. This is because constantly pulling items out and putting them back in can cause your drain trap joints to come loose, which prevents sewer gases from entering and allowing waste water to pass.
