Bathroom Plumbing Tips

Bathrooms see the most foot traffic throughout the day than any other room in the house.  The fixtures also see a lot of use during the day which makes it important to check up on your toilets, showers and drains.  With how dependent we are on these fixtures working properly, frequent checks are necessary to keep your toilets, showers, sinks and drains working as they should. 

Maintenance Plumbing For Your Bathrooms

  • Do not make your toilet your trashcan.  Many clogged toilets are caused by whats flushed down the drain.  Leave the cotton balls, q-tips, facial tissues, and other items that cannot be dissolved for the trash bin nearby.  
  • Make plumbing repairs when they are needed, immediately.  Either have this done yourself, or have a plumber come and check your pipes. Make sure even the smallest of leaks is amended to prevent future damages
  • Tired of the hard water spots on your shower heads?  cover your shower head with a bag full of white vinegar and let it sit over night. Come back the next day to remove the bag and wipe down the shower head to remove the vinegar.  Your shower head will look brand new!
  • ​Shower and bathtub drains should have strainers to catch the hair and soap running to the drain.  Buildup will occur and should be removed weekly. 
  • Shower head clogged with mineral deposits around the spout?  Unscrew the shower head and run a small wire through the holes of the shower head to clear the pathway.  Soaking in vinegar overnight will also help with the deep cleaning.
  • ​Clean your faucets by scrubbing the aerator with vinegar, removing build up of sediments and minerals left behind.
