When it comes to plumbing, most people don’t think about it until there’s a problem. A leaky pipe, a clogged drain, or a backed-up sewer can cause major headaches. But the truth is, preventive plumbing maintenance can save you from these costly repairs by addressing potential issues before they become emergencies.

As the saying goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” and this is especially true for your home’s plumbing system.
