Toilet Clogs
Many times, toilet paper is actually the cause of a clogged toilet. This comes as no surprise being as though many brands are very durable. Other times, clogs are a result of things that were not meant to be flushed. Avoid using your toilet to dispose of any items that are intended to go in there and keep toilet paper to a minimum during each flush.
Make Dishwashers More Energy Efficient
One way to make your dishwasher more energy efficient is to let hot
water run for a short while before starting your dishwasher. This will
allow the wash cycle to start right away with hot water. Stay away from
the heated dry setting and the delay cycle as both will use excess
energy that is not necessary. Just make sure to use a dish towel instead
of paper towels for drying to be green and retain those savings. Also,
make sure to run the dishwasher only when it is fully loaded. 
Hot Water Heater Checks
The life of a hot water heater is always threatened by contaminants as it is unavoidable. Sediment builds up over the course of time and eventually hot water heater repair is inevitable. But you can keep an eye out for rust as a quick accumulation of that means it’s probably time for replacement.
Pet Friendly Plumbing
If you are a pet owner, there are some helpful plumbing hints you can
follow. Always keep toilet lids closed and do not flush kitty litter
down the toilet if you own a cat. Dog owners should be aware of any
holes dug in their yards and make sure they do not interfere with the
sewer line. Some sewer lines are just a foot and a half beneath the
ground and a rupture there could mean major problems. 
Keep Clean Gutters
Some people may not think of gutters when it comes to plumbing, but clogged gutters prevent the flow of water off your home. In the winter months, water could freeze in your gutters and that can lead to a variety of problems that could include your plumbing.Originally Posted: http://ammonssuperiorplumbing.blogspot.com/2017/04/plumbing-tips-for-homeowners.html
