PLUMBING, DUBAI

 

Large-scale plumbing issues should always be handled by a professional, but there are plenty of simple techniques and procedures you can use to perform basic preventive maintenance. Consider the following tips for ensuring your plumbing system is functioning to its full capacity 

• Remove and clean your faucet aerators annually to ensure an even flow of water.
• Drain about a gallon of water from your water heater tank every three months to help remove the sediment that accumulates on the bottom. Also, periodically inspect your water heater burner—the flame should be colored blue with yellow tips. If it’s mostly yellow or the area is sooty, your flue may be clogged, which is a dangerous situation. 
• To help prevent clogged bathtub drains, fit them with a strainer that catches hair and soap chips. Clean these strainers regularly.
• Don’t rinse fats or cooking oils down your kitchen sink. Liquid fats can solidify in the cold pipes and create clogs.
