    A common myth is that tackling plumbing issues yourself is impossible. It does get easier if you know what you're doing and if you have good advice for your job. You can be well on the way to a successful plumbing project, if you make use of the tips you'll find below.

    If you discover a pipe has frozen, open a tap on the line to allow the thawing ice to drain. This can prevent damage to your house because it lets the pressure that is in the pipe out, and keeps it from bursting.

    If your work is outdoors, pace yourself and don't get overexposed to the sun. Exposure to direct sunlight can be very dangerous, so don't work so hard that you forget to take breaks.

    If water is collecting near your water heater, don't hesitate to hit the water shut-off valve right away. If you procrastinate about shutting off water valves, the leak may get larger, and harder to contain.

    Frozen pipes are on of the most expensive plumbing problems. However, this problem can be prevented. Make sure that any outdoor pipes are well insulated. When cold weather sets in, turn off your outside faucets, disconnect all hoses and drain them. You can avoid future plumbing repairs by doing this, and therefore, saving you a lot of money.

    Anchoring your pipes can eliminate the hammering and squeaking noises caused by loose pipes and fitting. Exposed pipes need to be anchored. Pipes that are contained within the floors, walls and ceilings may need to be attended by a professional plumber.

    Good plumbers do work far beyond unclogging drains. Plumbers frequently have to repair water lines.

    You can drastically reduce your utility bills with the installation of shower heads designed for better efficiency. Energy efficient shower heads can save you money on your energy bill and water bill. If you invest in purchasing and installing shower heads that are energy-efficient, you can realize savings of approximately $100 each year for each shower head.

    Many people have no clue what plumbing entails, so they will pay whatever price the plumber demands. If you own your own home, you should at least learn enough about plumbing to understand how plumbing problems should be handled by a professional. The more you know, the less likely you'll be likely to get ripped off.

    Running cold water while using your garbage disposal is recommended even though some people insist that you don't have to. A lot of people assume that running water while running the disposal will help the contents to flush through better, but really this is not helpful. This could actually make the garbage more sticky and cause more issues.

    As mentioned above, there are many problems your plumbing can have. These range from minor repairs to major disasters. By using the above hints, you'll see that these problems can be solved without stressing you out.
