1. Know Your Main Water Shut-Off Valve
Knowing where your main shut-off valve is located can prevent serious damage during emergencies.
How to apply:
Test it occasionally and ensure easy access. Citywide Plumbers can install additional shut-off valves if needed.
2. Avoid Flushing Non-Flushable Items
Only flush toilet paper and waste. Wipes and sanitary products are a major cause of blockages in Fulham homes.
3. Use Drain Guards to Prevent Blockages
Drain guards stop hair, food, and debris from entering your pipework.
4. Never Pour Grease Down the Drain
Grease hardens inside pipes and causes stubborn blockages. Dispose of it in the bin.
5. Insulate Pipes to Prevent Freezing
Exposed pipes can freeze in winter, leading to burst pipes and flooding.
6. Check for Leaks Regularly
Small leaks can cause damp, mould, and high water bills if ignored.
7. Maintain Your Water Heater
Annual servicing improves efficiency and extends the life of your hot water system.
8. Schedule Regular Plumbing Inspections
Routine inspections catch hidden issues before they become costly repairs.
9. Be Careful With DIY Repairs
Minor fixes are fine, but complex plumbing should always be handled by professionals.
10. Upgrade to Water-Efficient Fixtures
Modern fixtures reduce water usage without sacrificing performance.
