1. Install only 90-degree turn taps instead of old 360 degree
turning ones: Older taps with 360 degree turning spindles had two
great disadvantage. They needed rubber washers every now and
then despite which they would leak out water! And with time the
spindle body itself would wear out and work in fits and starts. In
comparison, the new (actually the old in a new avatar) 90 degree
turning taps have very few moving parts and last much, much
longer. Taps of good quality also have ceramic washers due to
which they never leak for a long, long time!

2. Try installing taps and fixtures of good quality: Plumbing
and drain services in Ocean County, NJ advise their clients to
go for the best fitting that money can buy. And that’s because
the right expenditure at the right time is much better than a
wrong sum at the right time. Bad fixtures which initially make
monetary sense does not make any sense in the end.

3. Use a water-softener where need be: Plumbing repair
services in Ocean County know from experience that water in
most cases which comes straight from the earth (as against being
routed thru a water treatment plant) does have more than its share
of salts which with time corrodes most things like pipes, taps and
even water heaters and washing machines. With time, they start to
eat through the metal thus shortening their life. It then makes
sense to invest in a water-softener solution which in most cases
can be fitted directly to the main waterline coming into the house!

4. Never throw plastic waste or hair into drains: Drain clogging in
bathrooms in most cases is due to sheer carelessness. Pieces of
wrapping plastic, hair etc easily find their way into the drain. And if
thrown consistently, can be the cause of a blocked drain. It would
make sense to simply take such things and put them into the waste-
paper basket from where they normally find their way into community
waste disposal systems.

5. Drain boilers once in a while: Though not strictly under the
purview of plumbing and drain cleaning, draining boilers every
once in a while, increases their life.

6. Check float-valves in flush tanks: Flush tanks are notorious

things when it comes to water wasting! Floats, if they leak should
be changed immediately. The other thing is that, to the extent
possible, newer technology should be adopted which are easy on
water as also on maintenance

7. Try closing the flush half-way thru the use to save water: Most
toilet flushes have the facility of closing the flow manually instead of
waiting till the tank empties entirely. A lot of water gets wasted every
time the flush is used fully. If there is a provision to close the flow
manually, it should be used.

8. Clean mirrors regularly: Plumbing and drain service in Ocean

county know for a fact that showers are the main culprits when it’s
about clouded mirrors. Water while bathing invariably bounces of on
to mirrors and leave indelible salt marks which with time become
difficult to remove. Sometimes entire mirrors have to be changed
when they reflect very less. The best course would be rub tooth-paste
on the mirror surface to get rid of the water-stain marks

9. Never throw used cooking oil, butter or lard into the kitchen
sink: A favourite of the plumbing and drain service providers in
Ocean county, cooking oils, butter and lard with time form hard
lumps in the drain and are the reasons drains choke-up and flow
back. Better still, try and dispose them separately with your other
kitchen wastes.

10. Use a plunger to create a vacuum to clean the kitchen and bath
drains: Your buddies in plumbing and drain services in Ocean
county would be more than glad to note that you honour their
remembrances by regularly using a plunger to create vacuum and
force out any obstructions that exist in drains in your baths and
toilets!

11. Once in a while use large quantities of water to clean drains:
Plumbing repair services in Ocean county know for a fact that
the best way to use and maintain drains in any home is to have
water flow through it regularly. More the water, lesser the chance
of dirt and muck piling up. For this reason, every once in a
while, pour a whole bucket of water (it could also be the water
draining out of the washing machine or dishwash) into the
drains. Anything likely to cling on would find its way into the
municipal sewer pipes instead!

These steps may seem very general but where used diligently,
can end up saving a lot of resources and heartaches!
