Only when the temperature around the pipes drops below freezing for an extended period of time can frozen pipes occur. To avoid this, make sure your pipes are properly insulated. This should not be an issue if your water lines are located indoors. Outdoor or garage water lines, on the other hand, may require additional insulation.

A sudden drop in water pressure can be caused by a variety of issues, but the ones that are easiest to fix are usually those involving the water line or shutoff valve. Make sure your incoming lines and valve are free of kinks and that the valve is fully open. Mineral deposits in aged pipelines can also be a concern.

Avoid dumping fat, such as cooking oils, down kitchen sink drains, since this may harden in the drains and cause clogging. Using ice and chopped up lemons or limes on a regular basis will help clean and maintain your disposal. Stringy vegetables, such as maize or celery, should not be put down the garbage disposal.
