Plumbing problems can sneak up on anyone, but with a bit of know-how, you can prevent costly repairs. Here are 5 expert tips to keep your pipes flowing smoothly:


ree
  1. Know Your Main Shut-Off Valve. If a pipe bursts, turning off your water fast can prevent major damage. Locate your main valve today—it could save you thousands later.

  2. Avoid Drain Cleaners. Chemical drain cleaners can damage your pipes over time. Instead, use a natural mix of baking soda and vinegar or call a professional for safe, long-term solutions.

  3. Check for Hidden Leaks. Watch your water bill—if it spikes, you might have a hidden leak. Even small drips waste gallons and raise your costs.

  4. Protect Pipes in Winter. Insulate exposed pipes to avoid freezing and bursting during cold Texas nights.

  5. Don’t Ignore Slow Drains. A slow drain is often a sign of buildup or deeper blockages. Early intervention is cheaper than emergency repairs!
