How often should I do this?

Twice a year is ideal, plus a quick look any time you notice a change in drainage or pressure.

Why descale showerheads?

Hard-water scale clogs the nozzles and weakens flow. Soaking or replacing them restores pressure.

The bathroom has more plumbing per square foot than anywhere in your home, so a little upkeep pays off.

Run through this checklist a couple of times a year to catch small issues early.

Check the toilet for hidden waste:

Listen for a running toilet and watch for phantom refills
Add a few drops of food coloring to the tank — color in the bowl means a leaking flapper
Check for water or wobble at the base

Keep drains and fixtures healthy:

Same-day service and 24/7 emergency help are a call away.

If you find a leak you can’t trace, a drain that keeps clogging, or valves that won’t budge, a quick visit prevents bigger problems down the road.
