Take the time to inspect your plumbing system for any leaks or potential issues. Addressing these problems can prevent more significant issues when professional help may be more brutal.

Slow drains can be a sign of clogs or blockages in your pipes. Clear any slow drains using a plunger or a chemical-free drain cleaner. If the issue persists, consider calling a professional plumber like Bubby's Plumbing to assess the problem and clear the blockage.

Ensure your water heater runs efficiently by flushing out any sediment buildup and checking the temperature setting. The ideal temperature for most households is between 120-125°F (49-51°C). If your water heater is over ten years old or showing signs of wear, consider scheduling maintenance or a replacement.

As temperatures drop during winter, exposed pipes risk freezing and bursting. Insulate any exposed pipes in your home to prevent costly water damage and

plumbing emergencies.

Despite your best efforts, plumbing emergencies can still occur. Make sure you know the location of your home's main water shut-off valve and have the contact information for a reliable plumber like Bubby's Plumbing on hand.
