Hey, Sapulpa and Nearby Towns! I’m Justin, the owner of Green Country Plumbing. You probably clicked on this link to learn about what 5 things can destroy your plumbing (pipes and plumbing fixtures). We’ve seen a lot in our 35 years in customer homes. We know that taking care of your plumbing might not be at the very tip top of your list. However, neglecting plumbing checklists can lead to major headaches later. I’m teaming up with our favorite service plumbers at Green Country Plumbing, your go-to Sapulpa Plumber, to share the top 5 things that will ruin your plumbing fast.
1 – Ignoring Pesky Leaks
We’ve all been guilty of turning a blind eye to that drip-drop sound coming from the faucet. But here’s the 411: ignoring leaks is a recipe for disaster. That tiny drip can quickly turn into a full-blown plumbing nightmare, causing water damage, mold growth, and a hefty bill from your Sapulpa Plumber to fix it all up. So, don’t wait until your bathroom turns into a waterpark. Get leaks fixed ASAP!
2 – Treating Your Drains Like Trash Cans
Raise your hand if you’ve ever poured grease (just a little here and there) down the sink or flushed something you probably shouldn’t have. Guilty as charged, right? Your drains should not be treated like garbage disposals. Putting any amount of grease, dental floss, or non-flushable items is a surefire way to clog your pipes. Your Sapulpa Plumber will thank you for using drain screens and disposing of waste properly.
3 – DIY Disasters
Look, we all love a good DIY moment as much as the next person. But, when it comes to plumbing, it is best to leave it to the licensed plumbers. Trying to tackle complex plumbing repairs without the right knowledge and tools can lead to a hot mess – think leaks, water damage, and a call to your Sapulpa Plumber begging for help (stat!). Save yourself the stress (and potential embarrassment) by calling in the experts from the beginning. It will be money saved in the long run!
4 – Hard Water Woes
Hard water – the silent killer of plumbing systems. Did you know that hard water contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium? These minerals can be very hard on your pipes and appliances. Why? The hard water causes scaling and buildup that can lead to reduced water flow and efficiency. The one major plumbing appliance that takes the biggest hit from hard water is your water heater. Your water heater is also likely the highest ticket item to replace if it goes bad.
Consider installing a water softener! Green Country Plumbing provides water softener installs to keep your plumbing in tip-top shape and your Sapulpa Plumber at bay.
5 – Neglecting Routine Maintenance From Your Sapulpa Plumber
Last but certainly not least, let’s talk about the importance of regular plumbing maintenance. I get it – life gets busy, and scheduling a check-up for your plumbing might not be on your radar. But trust me, a little maintenance goes a long way in preventing major disasters. Schedule annual inspections with your Sapulpa Plumber to catch potential issues early, saving you time, money, and stress in the long run. With any service call, we can perform our safety inspection, free of charge and check everything in your home.
