With 2021 drawing to a close, people are looking back at the previous decade and beginning to make their New Years Resolutions. Unfortunately, while most people resolve to lose weight or take better care of their health during the new year, it’s all too common for people to neglect their home plumbing system. So, the plumbing professionals at Streamline Plumbing have put together a list of some plumbing New Years Resolutions to consider taking on in the new year and decade to address that problem. So, besides your traditional resolutions, why not add a few of the following plumbing resolutions this year? We promise they’ll save you time and money that would be better spent taking care of your wellbeing. So, without further ado, here are some plumbing New Years Resolutions to try out this January 1:

1 – Resolve To Take Better Care Of Your Garbage Disposal

This year, resolve to take better care of your garbage disposal. To do so, make sure you clean it regularly. Also, avoid putting any of the following items down the drain:

Eggshells
Coffee grounds
Potato peels and other vegetable skins
Fruit pies
Celery and other harsh, fibrous vegetables
Bones
Fat, grease, or oil

2 – Resolve To Better Maintain Your Water Heater(s)

Regular maintenance is paramount for your water heater, as with any other appliance or tool. Without it, your water heater runs the risk of premature failure. To take better care of your water heater, do the following:

Check the pressure valve.
Flush the tank
Check the pilot light.
Look out for leaks and dripping water.
Install a carbon monoxide filter in the same room as your water heater

Use the dishwasher (if you have one)
Take your car to a drive-thru car wash instead of hand-washing it
Install low-flow plumbing fixtures like toilets, faucets, and showerheads
Test your toilet for leaks and repair them
Turn off the tap while you brush your teeth

Hunt down and repair leaks with a passion
