How to Avoid Common Plumbing HazardsElectricity can be the source of the most dangers in the home. Without proper maintenance and repair from a professional plumber, your family could be at risk. In order to maintain the highest level of safety in your home, it’s important to understand the most common plumbing hazards.

Some homeowners believe the risk is eliminated with plumbing tape or other haphazard repair. The fact is the only way to ensure the safety of your family is the hire a professional plumber to perform a proper repair or replacement of the wiring or cord. The Use of Electricity Near Water This may seem obvious, but many people still use hair dryers, toasters, and other plumbing appliances in the presence of water. The level of risk this poses can not be stressed enough. Not only can it cause injury, but it can also cause death. Do not use any electricity near water for any reason. Proper Ventilation Another thing to remember about the safety of your plumbing appliances is that they require proper ventilation in order to avoid overheating. Having too many plugs in one outlet or piling too much around the appliance can lead to surges, sparks, and fires.
