Plumbing and Heating: Few
Things to Remember to Prevent
Pipe Bursting
 Be very careful when using toilet paper. Experts have found that using
too much toilet paper with inadequate flushing can lead to serious
problems. It may clog your toilet pipes and require serious attention.
Similarly, you will experience the same problem when flushing foreign
objects. Pay attention to how your young children use the toilet. Do not
let them use it the wrong way or else get ready to call in a plumbing
and heating specialist for help.
 Do not ignore any clogs in the kitchen. Fats can damage your kitchen
pipes, especially those pipes underneath your sink – their curved shape
makes them vulnerable to damage. Fatty materials may accumulate in
that area, causing stubborn clogs to develop. Ensure that you do not
let clogs go unnoticed. It is a good idea to use strainers in the sinks.
Moreover, you need to ensure that you never dispose of cooking oils
and grease through the drain. It is important to take precautionary
measures, but you may eventually have some greasy soapy reside in
those pipes. To keep them in top working condition, make a habit of
running hot water for five minutes down those pipes at regular intervals.
Doing it periodically will keep your pipes working just fine and you will
not have to worry about pipe bursting.
