These are great tips! One more to consider during the colder months is using space heaters in areas where pipes are more exposed, like along external walls or in poorly heated spaces such as basements or attics. Keeping these areas a bit warmer can help prevent pipes from freezing and bursting, which can save you from dealing with a big mess and expensive repairs.

To keep the drains clean, another thing to avoid is adding hot water to cooking oils when washing dishes. It is a common mistake homeowners make, thinking it will help dissolve the oils before flushing them down the drain. However, when the water cools, the oil solidifies, leading to clogged pipes and potentially severe blockages in both your home’s plumbing and the municipal sewer system.
