Noisy pipes is a straightforward do-it-yourself project. Any exposed pipes will need to be anchored. If pipes are located in the floor, ceiling or walls, you might want to have a professional help you complete the project.

If your pipes freeze, turn on the water from the faucet nearest them to let water out when they start to thaw. If there is too much pressure within the pipe, it may burst, causing other forms of damage in the home.

You never want to pay for a job until it is complete, and this is true of a plumber as well. You may have to pay a area of the cost before the plumber works on the job, but you should never have to pay in full until after everything has been correctly finished. If you pay everything up front, you have no recourse if the plumber doesn't finish the job or doesn't do it correctly.

Do not put any oil, fat, or greasy foods or products in your sink. When they cool, they'll harden and clog your drain. This is especially valid if you have a garbage disposal, as the fat will cause the blades to run slower and fewer efficiently. You should dispose of all oils outside of the sink.

If your garbage disposal stops working, never try to fix it by reaching down with your hands. Even if the disposal is turned off, it can still be hazardous. Research on the Internet for diagrams, troubleshooters or FAQ's about your disposal.

It's important to study a bit about plumbing before there is an emergency. Routine maintenance on your home plumbing can prevent future problems from arising. Take the tips you've read here and implement them into your plumbing strategy, preparing you to keep your plumbing in great shape and deal with any problems as they arise.
