Tavares Plumbing Tips For Homeowners

Maintenance in Tavares should include a walk down to the boat house, since nothing about that end of the property checks itself.

Know Where Your Main Shutoff Is

Every homeowner in Tavares should know exactly where their main water shutoff valve is and confirm it actually turns. In an emergency every second counts. If you cannot locate it or it is corroded and stuck have a plumber address it before you need it. It is one of the simplest and most important things you can do to protect your home.

Watch Your Water Bill Every Month

Watch your Tavares water bill against the same month a year earlier, since a lakeside leak shows up nowhere else on the property.

A sudden increase with no change in usage almost always means a hidden leak. Our leak detection service in Tavares finds the source fast before water damage compounds.

Do Not Ignore Slow Drains

Drain habits matter in a Tavares house in the ordinary way, and have nothing to do with the boat house supply at all.

A slow drain is the earliest warning sign of a blockage building. Clearing it early costs far less than clearing a full backup. Our drain cleaning team serves Tavares and Lake County.

Flush Your Water Heater Once a Year

Flush your water heater every autumn in Tavares, and shut the boat house line off for the winter at the same time if you can.

An annual flush extends tank life and keeps energy costs down. Learn more about water heater maintenance in Tavares.

Never Put Grease Down the Drain

Grease cools and hardens inside your pipes regardless of whether you run hot water with it. Over time it builds up and catches everything else that goes down. Use a container and throw it in the trash instead. This single habit prevents a significant percentage of kitchen drain calls we get in Tavares.

Check Under Sinks Regularly

Under sink leaks in Tavares start at the connection points, and the boat house tap is the same fitting left out in the weather.

A quick check every few months catches small drips before they become cabinet damage or mold. If you find a leak our pipe repair team in Tavares can fix it fast.

Know When to Call a Pro

The DIY line in Tavares is generous on taps and washers at the boat house. Where it stops is the buried run down to the water.

Some things are worth attempting yourself — a running toilet flapper, a slow drain you can snake. Anything involving your main line, water heater, or pipe repair behind walls is a job for a licensed plumber. Call PRO Plumbers of Tavares in Tavares any time you are not sure.
