But here's a list of simple maintenance tips to help prevent costly repairs. When you experience a plumbing issue, please make sure you do the following:
	General Tips Fix leaky faucets promptly. In addition to wasting about 20 gallons of water a day, a leak can ruin your faucet set. Do not use caustic liquid drain openers on a drain that is completely clogged. It can severely damage your pipes. Periodically drain several gallons of water from your water heater. This removes sediment from the bottom of the tank to increase heating efficiency and prolong tank life. Wrap outdoor or crawl space pipes. Wrap with electric heat tape or insulation to prevent freezing Stop Using Water If you see water in your basement stop consuming water until you call Rapid Rooter
	Kitchen and Bath Clean Shower Heads To remove mineral deposits on your shower head, put one cup of vinegar in a plastic bag and place it over the shower head. Hold it in place with a twist tie and let stand overnight. In the morning, remove the bag and wipe off the mineral deposits with a damp cloth. Clean your Garbage Disposal Use Ice cubes and orange or lemon peals with adequate cold water Do not pour grease down your kitchen drain or disposal. This can cause clogging of pipes as the grease hardens. Try to wipe off hard grease from pots and dishes before washing Dead Garbage Disposal. Make sure the switch is off, clear any debris, then look for a reset button at the bottom of the disposal unit and press it. Make sure you run water before turning on again.
