Today we\u2019re going to bust 6 plumbing myths that actually cost you money, instead of helping you save. Just like any area of home maintenance, you probably want to keep your costs down but still have everything run effectively.<\/p>\n
But there are some areas where you just shouldn\u2019t cut corners \u2013 and plumbing is definitely one of them. Here are what our\u00a0plumbers in Perth<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0consider to be the top 6 plumbing myths that actually cost you money.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It seems like the obvious solution, doesn\u2019t it? If your tap is dripping then it can\u2019t have been properly turned off, so you should just turn it tighter.<\/p>\n This actually puts extra strain on your tap without solving the root cause of the leaking. Usually the tap will simply require a new washer \u2013 they cost very little and are easy to replace \u2013 if you\u2019d rather leave it to the professionals, our\u00a0plumbers in Perth<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0can help!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Soap cleans everything, right? Taps are one element of your bathroom, kitchen, or laundry that is often exposed to the elements. Water (obviously), as well as cold and extreme heat, and usually on a daily basis. So it follows that they\u2019ll need regular cleaning from things like lime scale, dirt and soap build-up.<\/p>\n However, regular hand soap is not ideal for cleaning taps. A non-toxic bathroom cleaner and a good scrub with a toothbrush will get any stubborn dirt off, and then a simple rub and wipe down with a sponge or cloth is all you need to do to clean your taps effectively.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Most people only realise their drains are blocked when nothing does down anymore. However, blockages don\u2019t happen overnight. They take weeks or even months to build up and you should notice the flow of water slowing down well before the drain is completely blocked.<\/p>\n Using a drain cleaner solution on a regular basis will help to break down any potential blockages that may be manifesting in your pipes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Not true. Plungers can only clear so much. If your plunger is just not cutting it, it\u2019s time to call a our\u00a0plumber in Perth\u2019s northern suburbs<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Of course you can\u2019t! Even those so-called flushable wipes aren\u2019t great for your toilet or drains. Just stick to toilet paper and you\u2019ll be saving yourself a whole heap of headaches and money.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is definitely one of the biggest myths when it comes to plumbing. Anyone can be a plumber, but to be a qualified, licensed, honest and reliable plumber takes something else.<\/p>\n When choosing a\u00a0residential plumber in Perth<\/strong><\/a>, make sure they come recommended or can provide you with all their license numbers and testimonials from happy customers.
