Tips and Tricks for Plumbing Inspection, Maintenance and Repair
There are lots of things that you can do yourself to maintain your plumbing and avoid expensive repairs and possibly hours of clean-up after a flood in your home. On this page, you will find links to advice on inspecting, maintaining, and repairing all of your plumbing, including:
- Watching Out for Your Water Lines
- Working with Your Water Heater
- Taking Care of Your Toilets
- Careful in the Kitchen (Faucets, Garbage Disposals, Dishwashers Plumbing, and Icemaker Lines)
- Saving Your Shower
- Doing Right By Your Drain Lines
However, please remember that Safety is Your Responsibility. Atlanta Plumbing Plus has made every effort to be complete and accurate in the recommendations in this Tips and Tricks plumbing aid. However, Atlanta Plumbing Plus does not assume any responsibility or liability for damages or losses suffered, sustained, or incurred in the course of your using the recommendations in Tips and Tricks. Furthermore, improper use of tools or incorrectly following recommendations can lead to serious and permanent injury or even death.
Do not attempt to use any of the recommendations in Tips and Tricks unless you:
- Fully understand that recommendation and
- All guards and safety precautions are in place.
- You have read and will follow manufacturer's instructions and will check and observe all safety precautions.
And, if you don't feel comfortable performing these activities yourself and you decide you need a plumber, make sure you hire a Licensed Plumber who carries both Workman's Compensation and General Liability Insurance. Many people who call themselves plumbers have not met the State requirements for training and experience and have not passed the rigorous State Licensing test. Ask to see your plumber's license before he starts the work. Or, call Atlanta Plumbing Plus: All our plumbers meet these requirements.
You can also purchase an Annual Inspection Agreement from us. Prices are reasonable and entitle you to a discount on any repairs needed on the plumbing in your home.
