💧 Plumbing Tips from Hall & Sons Plumbing

Expert Advice from Your Trusted Local Plumber in Central PA

At Hall & Sons Plumbing, we believe in empowering homeowners with knowledge that helps prevent costly repairs and keeps your plumbing system running smoothly. Here are some expert plumbing tips straight from our licensed technicians:

✅ 1. Don’t Ignore Small Leaks

A dripping faucet or running toilet might seem minor, but they can waste hundreds of gallons of water each month and raise your utility bills. Fix small leaks early to avoid major repairs later.

✅ 2. Watch What Goes Down the Drain

Avoid pouring grease, oils, or coffee grounds down your kitchen sink. Use drain screens in the bathroom to catch hair and soap scum that can clog pipes over time.

✅ 3. Know Where Your Main Shut-Off Valve Is

In case of a plumbing emergency, shutting off your home’s water quickly can prevent major damage. Make sure every adult in the house knows where the main shut-off valve is and how to use it.

✅ 4. Flush Only Toilet Paper

Even "flushable" wipes can cause blockages in your sewer line. Stick to toilet paper only—and never flush paper towels, feminine products, or cleaning wipes.

✅ 5. Schedule an Annual Plumbing Inspection

Preventative maintenance saves money in the long run. We recommend a yearly inspection to check for hidden leaks, corroded pipes, and signs of water heater trouble.

✅ 6. Insulate Pipes Before Winter

Protect your pipes from freezing temperatures by insulating those in unheated areas like basements, garages, and crawl spaces. Frozen pipes can burst and cause serious water damage.

✅ 7. Upgrade to a High-Efficiency Water Heater

If your water heater is over 10 years old, it may be costing you more than you realize. A newer, energy-efficient model can reduce energy bills and improve performance.
