Plumber Florence SC Guide To Pet Proofing Plumbing

Exposed plumbing should be covered

This is similar to childproofing a home where young kids are curious about cupboards and doors. The same concept is true about pets. Be sure to cover exposed pipelines to avoid a trip to the vet.

If a pet dog chews on or plays with a pipeline, dealing with the damage might be an expensive trouble. It may also damage the rest of the plumbing system at home and even injure your pet. Avoid the unnecessary expense by covering up your exposed pipes and save up on repair and medical costs.

Give pets enough water to drink

Pet dogs that are thirsty tend to go to the bathroom to drink toilet water. Avoid this incident by giving your pet plenty of water drink so they will keep out of the toilet just to drink. As a general rule, be sure to refill your pets water dish at least twice a day.

Wash unclean animals outdoors

Playing in the mud is every pet's desire, but it could also trigger plumbing problems. When you wash pets in the tub, chances are muddy pet hair can get caught in the drain. Sadly, the hair can get stuck in the pipelines causing clogged drains.

To prevent such clogs, try to wash or rinse pets outdoors to get rid of the most awful of the crud. When you have gotten rid of enough mud to see the pet, take them inside to end up the work. If you wash your dogs or cats outside, you are doing your plumbing pipes a favor and saving you money on drain pipe cleaning.

Keep cleaning chemicals out of reach (especially by children and pets)

If animals get involved in your bathroom cleaning products, they can make themselves seriously unwell. Ensure your shower room cleansers are either up and out of reach or behind secured cupboard doors.

Prevent having chemical drainpipe cleansers to begin with. These chemicals are not just toxic to family pets, they are also damage your plumbing says a plumber Florence, SC.
