  Metal expands and if your home has copper pipes, when hot water goes through them, they will expand a little. That means that they may not fit in the hangars and might grind against them, eventually causing damage. To avoid this, put a tape layer around the pipes and return them to the hangars.
  
  Learning the basics is important with plumbing problems, including how to use the common plumbing tools. Be sure you read everything you can from the manuals, and use different things like the library and internet to learn all the projects that are do it yourself. Don't just blindly rush into a project. Plan each project so that you don't make costly mistakes.
  
  Only pay pay the plumber once the job is done. You might have to put money down initially before the plumber begins the job. However, do not pay everything up front; instead, only pay once the job is successfully completed. If you pay everything up front, you have no recourse if the plumber doesn't finish the job or doesn't do it correctly.
  
  Write down all of your problems and questions to take care of when your plumber visits to save you valuable time and money. Prior to seeking out a professional plumber, write out a laundry list of all plumbing issues that need to be addressed. If the plumber has to come more than one time, this will unnecessarily cost you extra money!
  
  If you have multiple plumbing issues that need addressed, group them all together for one call or visit to save yourself dollars and hours. Before calling a plumber, make a list of everything that is not running right. Doing so means the plumber can knock it all out on one visit without you having to pay for future trips.
  
  Check any loose tiles for water damage evidence. Press the tiles to see if they "give," which could be a sign of a leak. If the tile does yield, the problem should be investigated immediately. It is much easier to fix a plumbing problem in its early stages.
  
  If you encounter a problem with your garbage disposal, resist the urge to reach in and fix it with your bare hands. A garbage disposal can be dangerous, even when it is not on. You can search online to get schematics or troubleshooting advice for your garbage disposal.
  
  Use a strainer over your sink drain to catch food and other bits of material. Otherwise, you will likely get a clogged drain. Every time you have large particles in the strainer of the kitchen sink, it should be cleaned thoroughly. Clean out the bathtup strainer every few days before it becomes clogged.
  
  Keep your bathtub drain running well by pouring a cup of baking soda followed by a cup of vinegar down the drain each month. Plug up the drain and allow the chemical reaction to occur. Wait for a little while and then allow boiling water to go down the drain. Although this is useful for clearing away simple clogs made of hair and soap debris, it will not work for serious blockages.
  
  When running your garbage disposal, always use a lot of cold water. Blades will stay sharper with cold water, making disposal quicker. Hot water will liquefy grease and build up inside the drain, eventually causing clogs.
