One of the best ways to avoid a plumbing emergency is to make sure you have regular maintenance on the plumbing systems in your home.

Sometimes it seems that the only way to avoid a plumbing issue is to make sure you don’t flush the wrong thing down the toilet. But deep down inside, you know there’s more to it than that.

You’re right. Certainly, making sure you’re not stuffing things that can’t be flushed or that shouldn’t be in drains is a big part of keeping your plumbing free and clear of clogs. But if you want to avoid other possible issues – leaks, corroded pipes and the like – your best bet is to make sure you maintain your plumbing.

As thespruce.com says, “When plumbing problems erupt suddenly, they can do so with a severity that borders on the catastrophic. But a regular inspection of your key plumbing fixtures can help you spot and correct developing problems before they become such emergencies.”

Take your bathroom as an example. It’s the room most likely to have plumbing issues. 

To avoid such issues, thespruce.com suggests you be diligent about checking faucets, drains, toilets, and caulking seals. Pipes should also be checked, but that’s a bit more difficult.

 “Water supply lines hidden in the walls for tub and shower drains can be especially problematic since such hidden leaks can cause major damage before you even spot it,” thespruce.com says. “Hidden water pipe leaks often reveal themselves with signs of water damage in the room below the plumbing pipes.”
