Water related plumbing emergencies can be effectively mitigated by you, simply by closing the main shutoff valve while waiting for the plumber. Shutting off the water supply to your home in case of a burst pipe scenario will stop water flow, and thereby cut down water wastage as well as water damage.

Regular maintenance to your plumbing system can go along way in preventing plumbing challenges and complex plumbing emergencies. From insulating pipes against freezing to drain cleaning, your local plumber is able to conduct periodic inspections and maintain a good working plumbing system year round. Proper pipe diameter, the correct location of the shutoff valve, and high quality plumbing supplies are all specified in the Plumbing Code to which plumbing contractors and plumbing companies adhere to while working on residential and commercial plumbing systems.

Clog Prevention Plumbing Tip:
Cover drain openings in sinks, showers, and bathtubs with strainers. Strainers collect hair, soap scum, and food particles, and prevent general debris from entering the actual drainpipe and causing clogs. Clean the strainers regularly to ensure effective collection of debris.
