To help preserve your plumbing, you should stop these bad shower habits

Too Long And Too Hot

Along hot shower is sometimes the perfect reward or may even feel necessary to start your day. However, if you indulge in these all the time you will be increasing the level of moisture in your bathroom and making it more likely that harmful mold will grow. This is not good for your health.

In addition, you should note that hot water can soften the joining compound used n wastewater pipes. Over time this can lead to leaks, that’s why you should turn the temperature down a few degrees.

Harsh Shampoos And Body Wash

Many of the shampoos and body washes on the market use harsh chemicals to eliminate the dirt from your skin. The harsher the chemical the more harm it can do to your skin. You are likely to develop irritated skin. It is better to switch to natural ingredients.

But, these harsh chemicals can also affect your plumbing. They will also potentially damage the jointing compound, leading to leaks. Natural washes are much better for your plumbing system.

It may take a long time for the wrong shampoo or excessively hot water to cause a leak. But, you probably don’t know how long your pipes have been taking abuse. That makes it impossible to tell how long they have left.

Hair Down The Drain

The average human loses 50-100 hairs a day. Many of these will be lost when you shower and will head down the drain. Ideally, you’ll have a filter that captures the hair and allows you to remove it. If you don’t then the hair will go down the drain.

What may surprise you is that hair combines with sap particles and sticks to the sides of your pipes. This creates the start of a clog. Over time, hair and soap particles, combined with other items, clog the pipes further. The water will drain slowly and then the pipe is likely to block, preventing all drainage and giving you an unnecessary headache.

Hard Water

 

If you live in a hard water area you are probably aware that the calcium and other minerals build up on appliances, reducing their efficiency and shortening their lives. The same is true of your shower and the waste pipes. Treat the drains to a vinegar and baking soda mix every so often and rinse the showerhead out with vinegar it will remove the build-up and ensure everything is working properly
