To help prevent leaking pipes in your home, there are several things you can do. Take overall stress off your pipes, measure the water pressure that is going through the pipes. If the water pressure in a plumbing system exceeds 60 psi for an extended period of time.

Conserving water has become an important goal for many homeowners, as doing so will lower monthly bill costs and help them become more eco-friendly. The bathroom is the biggest culprit of wasted water, from filling a bathtub.

There are a few different ways you can find hidden water leaks. First, check for hidden leaks using your water meter. Turn off all the water in your home and record the number on your water meter. Wait at least 20 mins, return to check your meter again. If the meter reading has changed, that means you have a leak.

Antifreeze in toilet bowls and sink traps will avoid damage to the sewer and gas pipes. Shut off the water heater or put it on vacation setting.

Once you get to a point where the water is backing up in multiple fixtures it means either the main sewer line from the house to the city sewer or septic tank has a blockage. Once these lines get filled, a small hand snake is ineffective. The same with chemical clog removers.
