Regular Maintenance
One of the best ways to avoid plumbing and heating emergencies is to schedule regular maintenance for your systems. Hire a professional plumber and heating technician to perform annual inspections, cleanings, and repairs as needed.
This can help prevent minor issues from turning into major problems.
Avoid DIY Repairs
Many homeowners try to fix plumbing and heating problems on their own, but this can often lead to further damage and costly repairs. Avoid DIY repairs and hire a licensed professional plumber and heating technician to address any issues you may have.
They have the experience and tools needed to properly diagnose and repair problems.
Know Your Systems
Knowing how your plumbing and heating systems work can help you identify potential problems early on. Familiarize yourself with the location of shut-off valves, how to turn off your water and heating systems in case of an emergency, and how to recognize signs of trouble such as strange noises or leaks.

Avoid Flushing Non-Flushable Items
Flushing non-flushable items down your toilet can cause clogs and damage to your plumbing system. Avoid flushing items such as wipes, feminine hygiene products, and paper towels. Only flush toilet paper and human waste down your toilet.
Protect Your Pipes
Cold temperatures can cause pipes to freeze and burst, leading to costly repairs. To prevent this, make sure to insulate your pipes in colder months and keep your thermostat set to a consistent temperature.
Additionally, avoid pouring grease down your drains, as it can solidify in your pipes and cause clogs.
Install Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless gas that can be deadly. Make sure to install carbon monoxide detectors throughout your home to detect any leaks from your heating system.
