Many plumbing issues start small and go unnoticed until they waste water or cause damage. Take a few minutes this week to check these three things.
🛠 Weekly Home Maintenance Check
This week take 5 minutes to check these:
1. Clean Slow Shower Drains
Remove the drain cover and clear visible hair buildup. A simple plastic drain tool can remove clogs in seconds.
Ignoring this can eventually lead to fully blocked pipes.
2. Check for Running Toilets
Put a drop of food coloring in the tank — if it appears in the bowl without flushing, you have a leak. (or if you hear water running all the time)
Most running toilets are caused by a worn flapper valve, which costs only a few dollars and takes minutes to replace.
3. Check and Clean Gutters
Remove debris by hand or with a small scoop and make sure downspouts are clear.
Even a partial clog can redirect water toward your home.
⚡ 10-Second Fix
If your outlet moves and wiggles then it needs to be tightened. Many people ignore it, but it can cause shorts and the outlet may stop working.
