In the winter people cook more inside and use disposals more. Remember, disposals should be used with cold water. The water should be running before the disposal is turned on and the disposal should be on before food is introduces. Continue running cold water for a few minutes after the disposal is finished to clear the drain. Of course, don’t put grease or fat down the drain, which will eventually cause a clogged drain completely. And don’t put tough to grind food, like poultry skin, in the disposal. 2. Unless you have a tankless water heater or a maintenance-free water heater, sediment will build up on the bottom of the tank. The sediment impedes the water heater’s performance at any time of the year, but especially in the winter since that water heater is working harder. The sediment can also cause corrosion, shortening the life of the tank. Every year you should have the sediment flushed out of your water heater during plumbing maintenance .
3. If your water heater is old and located in unconditioned space, like a garage or attic, consider wrapping it in an insulated water heater blanket. This reduces the -œstandby- temperature loss of the tank during cold weather. Rooter Man Plumbing and Drain Service www.RooterManSC.com Charleston Plumbing Service Summerville Plumbing Service Mt.
