Estimated Read Time: 3 minutes
Maintaining your home's plumbing year-round is essential for preventing costly repairs and ensuring your system runs efficiently. At Milestone Electric, A/C, & Plumbing, we not only provide expert plumbing services but also offer valuable advice to help homeowners in the Dallas-Fort Worth area keep their systems in top condition. Here's how you can maintain your plumbing throughout the year.
Regular Maintenance is Key
One of the simplest yet most important tips for maintaining your plumbing is to schedule regular inspections. This proactive measure helps identify potential issues before they turn into significant problems. Milestone’s licensed and insured plumbers are always ready to perform thorough inspections and provide you with peace of mind[6].
Drain and Pipe Care
Clean your drains regularly to prevent clogs. In the kitchen, avoid pouring grease or food particles down the sink. Instead, use drain covers to catch debris. Similarly, in the bathroom, cleaning out hair and soap scum can prevent blockages. For sewer lines, especially in older homes, regular professional cleaning can prevent major repairs[2].
Customer Experience: Gregory N.
Gregory N. shares, "We had a bunch of plumbing issues at the house and needed a plumber pronto. I decided to roll the dice and give [Milestone] a shot. Yes, they might be a bit pricey, but if half the plumbing techs at Milestone are as capable, courteous, and friendly as Kody, they’re in pretty good shape"[0].
Water Heater Maintenance
Your water heater plays a crucial role in your home’s comfort. Regularly checking for leaks, sediment build-up, and setting the thermostat to 120°F can keep it running efficiently. An annual flush will help remove sediment and extend the water heater's life[2].
At Milestone, our expert technicians ensure your water heater is functioning at its best, safeguarding your home against unexpected breakdowns[3].

Be Mindful of Water Usage
Installing low-flow fixtures and promptly fixing leaks helps conserve water and lower utility bills. Not only does this save money, but it also prolongs the life of your plumbing system. This simple adjustment can have a big impact over time[2].
