To avoid frozen pipes in your home, always maintain a temperature in the house above freezing and make sure all pipes exposed to outside elements are insulated properly. Your pipes can freeze if temperatures around them fall below 32 degrees. It could take some time for thawing to occur so you can have water again. However, frozen pipes commonly break or crack pipes, as well - making a huge plumbing bill.

If you have a water pipe that freezes, switch on the nearest faucet tap to that pipe so that water can exit when the pipe thaws. This gives the pressure somewhere to go, which can prevent further damage to your home.

Check the floors in your bathroom for any give in order to be sure that there is no damage in the toilet to determine floor damage. You can wind up saving your money simply by noticing the problem as early on.

By having a regular cleaning routine, which includes a combination of lemon rinds, dish soap and even pits from a cherry, you can keep your disposal running smoothly and smelling as fresh as the day it was installed.

Pour baking soda and vinegar down your bathtub drain once a month. Plug up the opening or cover it with a cloth while the chemical reaction takes place. After waiting a few minutes, flush it out by running boiling water through the drain. This method should open up the pipes of accumulated hair and soap scum.
