• Twice per year, visually inspect the pipes under all of the sinks in one’s home. It is essential to check for leaks and fix any that may be found, because leaking pipes can damage the cabinets and the floor underneath. The dampness can also support mold growth, which can be hazardous.

• If water is flooding one’s home, immediately switch off the main electrical power. If water comes into contact with any electrical components, it can become a fatal situation. Once the power is off, then deal with the flood water. Put the family's personal safety first, and show each member of the family how to shut off the power.

• In any DIY plumbing installation project, make sure that to always test the drains and the supply lines before the walls are closed up. If a leak is present after the wall is sealed, tearing out the wall to get to the problem will be the only recourse.

• Make sure to never leave any flammable liquids near the water heater. Certain liquids like gasoline, solvents, or adhesives are flammable, and if left too close to the water heater, can ignite. If one has to have to have these liquids in the basement, place it far away from the water heater.

• If there is an underground leak in the pipes, it is possible to detect the leak before digging. Today's leak detection equipment is very sophisticated and modern, allowing technicians to detect and pinpoint exactly where leaks are before they go about trying to fix them with professional grade equipment. The experts at Greenway Home Services are prepared to do any plumbing project inside or outside. One should give them a call at 615-970-3354 for professional plumbing repairs when it is beyond one’s skill level.

• Be sure to blow out the sprinklers during the fall months. If one forgets to do it, or have it done, broken pipes may be the result when cold weather comes. If the lines freeze and burst, the homeowner will have to go through the expense and the work involved in replacing those lines. An air compressor will do the job nicely.

• A leaking bathroom fixture does not necessarily mean that a full replacement or costly visit from the plumber is necessary. Often times, a simple rinse of the individual parts or repair of a rubber seal is all that's needed to keep the bathroom fixture running properly for years to come. If it needs replaced calling a professional plumbing repair technician is recommended to avoid any further damage.

• If the water is not going into the dishwasher, the first thing one should do is shut off the water under the sink. Chances are there is some kind of blockage, and keeping the water turned on could actually create a bigger problem. To fix the blockage, you may need to call a plumber.
