Your kitchen is central to your day-to-day life, so it’s a huge hassle when your sink gets clogged or your dishwasher stops working. Thankfully, there are some simple preventative measures you can take to minimize the risk of kitchen breakdowns. In this blog, we’ll break down the four best ways to keep your kitchen plumbing running smoothly!

Schedule an Annual Inspection With Your Local Plumbing Company

Property owners know that preemptive plumbing maintenance, like drain cleaning, can save you from more involved, expensive repairs down the road. 

Once a year, have your local plumbing company inspect your kitchen’s plumbing to ensure there’s no corrosion, blockages, or hidden leaks that could cause issues. It takes minimal time, but routine inspections often catch minor problems that would otherwise cause breakdowns or water damage later on!

Make Sure Your Family is Educated on What Can Go Down the Drain

It’s easy to assume that everyone knows what can and can’t go down the garbage disposal. However, it’s incredibly common for folks to put the wrong things down the drain. Substances like grease, eggshells, and coffee grounds often make their way into the kitchen sink, causing clogs and blockages.

If it’s been a while, remind your family and guests that these materials should be disposed of in other ways. We recommend setting your compost bin near the sink as a reminder! Composting is a great way to save your drain and improve your carbon footprint at the same time.

Update Your Plumbing Fixtures and Appliances

Modern plumbing fixtures and appliances are popular because they help conserve water and are far less likely to leak or break down. Investing in upgraded toilets, faucets, and other fixtures may cost a little upfront, but it’ll save you plenty of dollars (and headaches) down the line.
