Over-the-counter drain cleaners might be the quick and seemingly simplest fix, but what seems quick and simple now might lead to bigger problems down the line.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because chemical drain cleaners might get rid of a clog now, but they\u2019re so caustic that they might start eating away at your home\u2019s plumbing system. It\u2019s just not a smart idea. Professional service is always the best option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\"><li>Treat Hard Water<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Hard water is water that has high levels of calcium, magnesium, and other minerals in it. If you\u2019re struggling with hard water, don\u2019t think that it\u2019s something you can just learn to live with. It might not bother you, but it\u2019s definitely going to bother your plumbing system. The sediment buildup in your system will narrow the pathway that your water has to flow through, reduce your water pressure, and hurt your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\"><li>Know What Clogs Your Home<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The best thing that you can do for your home is to know what clogs your space and figure out how to prevent it before it\u2019s too late. Make sure that you\u2019re not letting things like the following down the drains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>F.O.G. (fat, oil, and grease)<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Eggshells<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Coffee grounds<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Cotton balls, paper towels, or wet wipes<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When in doubt, just put something in the trash rather than putting it down your drain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\"><li>Prevent Disaster<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>When you spot a leak, make sure that you talk to a professional as soon as possible. This can help prevent disaster in your home. Water pressure issues and leaks can quickly become huge issues. Have one of our team members help as soon as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\"><li>Don\u2019t Wait!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>When you spot a problem, make sure that you\u2019re not procrastinating when it comes to taking care of it. Waiting only allows the plumbing problem you\u2019re having to fester and become a much bigger issue. We know that you might think that you can wait something out and maybe even handle the problem on your own, but it\u2019s not something that we suggest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Contact Picture Rocks Cooling Heating &amp; Plumbing today to <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.picturerockscooling.com\/contact-us\/schedule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>schedule an appointment<\/strong><\/a><strong> with our professionals.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are a few tips you should try to take care of your plumbing system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[81],"tags":[124,119],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.picturerockscooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.picturerockscooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.picturerockscooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.picturerockscooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.picturerockscooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=608"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.picturerockscooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":610,"href":"https:\/\/www.picturerockscooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608\/revisions\/610"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.picturerockscooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=608"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.picturerockscooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=608"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.picturerockscooling.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
