"The Right Prescription for Comfort" 

Plumbers get calls everyday to repair everything from drain back ups to a pipe springing a leak, but they even get calls to fix issues that are easily avoidable. Below are a few things you shouldn't do to avoid having the plumber on speed dial.

Treating the garbage disposal like a trash can. This is one of the most popular incidents that plumbers get called over for. Items such as bones, rinds and grease should be kept out of your disposal. For a complete list of garbage disposal dont's, click here.

Flushing hosehold items down the toilet. This is another common problem that the handy dandy plumber gets calls for. Items such as tweezers and small toys should never be flushed down the toilet (no matter how small). This causes them to get trapped or forced down the sewer line which can cause even bigger problems.

Cranking on a faucet handle. This is something we are all guilty of! When the sink or shower continues to drip once it's been turned off, it is in our nature to push or pull it really hard to try and get it to stop. Pressing to hard on the handle can cause it to break without solving the drip!
