Plumbing Maintenance Tips
Curtis Heating and Cooling works hard to help you when there's a breakdown. We know how annoying and expensive they can be. But here's a list of simple maintenance tips to help prevent costly repairs.
In General
* 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 with electric heat tape or insulation to prevent freezing.
In Your Kitchen & Bath
* Do not rinse fats or cooking oils down the drain. Liquid fats solidify in the cold drains pipes and create clogs.
* To extend the life of your garbage disposal: use plenty of cold water when running; don't overload; never dispose of bones, corn husks, or stringy fibrous material; never use a caustic drain opener; always use tongs or pliers to free objects from the disposal - don't use your hands.
* Check under sinks for moisture or small leaks. Leaks under sinks should be repaired quickly to avoid damage to cabinets and floors.
* Use a strainer in bathroom drains. This will prevent hair and soap pieces from clogging drains.
* Make sure overflow holes on tubs and vanity are clear and open to prevent water damage to floors and ceilings.
If you own a house, you own a water heater. You probably don't spend much time thinking about the water heater until, one morning, you go to take a shower and there's no hot water. Then you probably think about it a lot. Curtis Heating and Cooling can help you with all of your water heating needs. Whether it is for residential or commercial, we have a water heater that will meet your needs. The water heaters we use have a 6 year warranty on the parts and a 6 year warranty on the tank with the option to buy an extended warranty up to 10 years on the tank.
