Redan Plumbing Tips For Homeowners

Maintenance in a Redan split level means walking every half floor, since a house laid out this way always has a level the household passes through rather than actually spends time on.

Know Where Your Main Shutoff Is

Every homeowner in Redan should know exactly where their main water shutoff valve is and confirm it actually turns. In an emergency every second counts. If you cannot locate it or it is corroded and stuck have a plumber address it before you need it. It is one of the simplest and most important things you can do to protect your home.

Watch Your Water Bill Every Month

Watch your Redan water bill against the same month a year earlier, since irrigation shifts the summer figure. An off season rise means checking the bathrooms on the quieter half floors.

A sudden increase with no change in usage almost always means a hidden leak. Our leak detection service in Redan finds the source fast before water damage compounds.

Do Not Ignore Slow Drains

Drain habits matter in Redan, and a camera inspection of the lateral every few years is worth doing, since subdivision landscaping planted forty years ago has now reached that pipe.

A slow drain is the earliest warning sign of a blockage building. Clearing it early costs far less than clearing a full backup. Our drain cleaning team serves Redan and DeKalb County.

Flush Your Water Heater Once a Year

Flush your water heater every year in Redan. In a split level, remember the tank on the lowest floor is pushing hot water up several half levels, so any sediment loss shows up quickly.

An annual flush extends tank life and keeps energy costs down. Learn more about water heater maintenance in Redan.

Never Put Grease Down the Drain

Grease cools and hardens inside your pipes regardless of whether you run hot water with it. Over time it builds up and catches everything else that goes down. Use a container and throw it in the trash instead. This single habit prevents a significant percentage of kitchen drain calls we get in Redan.

Check Under Sinks Regularly

Under sink leaks in Redan start at the connection points, and in a split level a slow one travels to the level below. Check the cabinets on every half floor at the start of each season.

A quick check every few months catches small drips before they become cabinet damage or mold. If you find a leak our pipe repair team in Redan can fix it fast.

Know When to Call a Pro

The DIY line in Redan is generous on fixture parts and level by level checks. Where it stops is tracing water between half floors, since that is where guessing opens the wrong ceiling.

Some things are worth attempting yourself — a running toilet flapper, a slow drain you can snake. Anything involving your main line, water heater, or pipe repair behind walls is a job for a licensed plumber. Call PRO Plumbers of Redan in Redan any time you are not sure.
