1. Know Your Water Main Location

In case of an emergency, it’s vital to know where your home’s water main valve is located and how to turn it off. This can prevent costly water damage by stopping leaks or bursts before a plumber arrives.

2. Regularly Check for Leaks

Hidden leaks waste water and increase bills. Inspect faucets, showerheads, toilets, pipes, and your water meter for signs of leaks. Addressing issues early saves money and avoids bigger problems.

3. Prevent Blocked Drains

Only flush human waste and toilet paper down your toilets—never wipes or sanitary items. In kitchens, avoid pouring fats, oils, and coffee grounds down the drain. Use drain strainers in showers and sinks to catch hair or food scraps.

4. Insulate Your Pipes

Insulate exposed pipes, especially during cold months in regional Victoria, to prevent freezing, cracking, and costly bursts. It’s an easy step to secure your system’s longevity.

5. Annual Water Heater Maintenance

Flush your water heater each year to remove sediment and extend efficiency. Regular checks help prevent breakdowns, ensuring reliable hot water throughout all Echuca and Moama seasons.

6. Maintain Healthy Water Pressure

Excessively high water pressure stresses pipes and causes leaks. Use a pressure gauge to test and adjust, protecting your home’s plumbing system.

7. Invest in Quality Fixtures

Quality taps, showerheads, and hardware reduce maintenance and replacement costs—good products ensure smoother operation and fewer hassles down the line.

Routine inspections by qualified Jetflo plumbers catch issues early. Our technicians use CCTV camera inspections and other advanced diagnostics to keep your system running smoothly. Prevention is key to avoiding emergencies.
