Let us look at some of the maintenance tasks you should be mindful of:
1. Cleaning clogged drains - This is a big problem in many households. Every few months you may have to deal with this problem. Use chemical drain cleaners or plungers to clean drains every few months so that the problem does not become a major one requiring the help of professional plumbing service.
2. Fix leaking pipes in kitchen - This is another task you should not neglect. Get it fixed as soon as the problem arises in order to prevent it from becoming a big one. Usually the problem of leaking pipe in kitchen or bathroom is caused by a washer or a loose compression nut. Getting this fixed is easy and can be done by yourself. You may find it a bit difficult when you are doing it for the first time, but surely you will get comfortable the next time you do it.
3. Clean the water heater - Imagine how frustrating it would be when you need hot water and the heater does not work. Water heaters need regular maintenance like other appliances. Water has sediments which settle at the bottom of the tank. So you need to clean the inside of the heater at least once per year by flushing out all water and then cleaning the heater floor and side walls properly and nicely. This can ensure that the heater functions properly. A simple cleaning task like this can extend the life of the heater.
Besides these simple house maintenance and repair tasks, there are some repair jobs which you should not attempt if you don't have prior experience or knowledge. It is better to call a professional plumber or handyman for the job.
