Keep an eye on things
Schedule an annual maintenance appointment!A yearly walkthrough will save you $$ in the long run, help assess for budgeting costly repairs, and give you peace of mind.
JAMMING things under the sink
It can be a great source of storage, but a NO NO!Items under the sink can get in the way, can push on and be a risk of dislodging the plumbing traps.
Check those outdoor hoses
They may not get enough attention!A leaky hose bib can be a huge drain on your water tank, and you would not hear the dripping like on a kitchen faucet.
Naturally freshen the garbage disposal
Drop in a few citrus peels!Orange oil found in orange peels is a great degreaser and fragrance, leaving the blades a little cleaner and smelling better.
Avoid pouring grease, oil & fat down the drain
Oils solidify as they cool!Wipe out any dishes using oil or grease and discard. Those fats down the drain leave less room for water drainage and could mean a backup or clog.
