Hot water can’t make grease disappear. It may liquefy it temporarily, but as the water cools, the grease can harden inside your pipes, then it traps food, coffee grounds, and other debris, leading to stubborn clogs. Let grease cool, wipe it up, and throw it in the trash.

Before Utah temperatures start dropping, give your plumbing five minutes of attention. Disconnect garden hoses, shut off outdoor faucet and sprinkler valves, and make sure nothing is dripping or leaking. Check that your water lines aren’t on exterior walls, add insulation if needed, and confirm your water heater is properly vented and up to code. A quick look now can help you avoid frozen pipes and an expensive winter surprise.

Ever notice that white, crusty buildup on faucets and showerheads? It’s usually hard water. When calcium and magnesium dissolve in your water and then evaporate, they leave mineral scale behind, on fixtures, dishes, and even inside plumbing and appliances. Soft water removes those minerals, helping reduce water spots, buildup, and scale formation. If hard water is causing you headaches, it may be time to explore a water softener with Monkey Wrench.

Turn on your faucet and see brown water? Brown or rusty water is usually caused by rust or sediment, sometimes from work on nearby city water lines, a leaking pipe, or sediment inside your water heater. Quick tip: if it only happens with hot water, your water heater is often the culprit; if it’s both hot and cold, the issue could be elsewhere in your plumbing. If it stays brown, have it checked before it turns into a bigger problem.

Can you put eggshells in your garbage disposal? You can, but you probably shouldn’t. While the disposal may break them into tiny pieces, those bits can mix with grease and other debris deeper in the drain, contributing to buildup over time. Instead, throw eggshells in the trash or add them to compost.

Your morning coffee grounds may seem harmless, but they don’t dissolve like you’d hope. They can clump and trap with grease and food debris, leading to slow drains and clogs. Instead, toss them in the trash or compost, leave your pipes for water, not grounds.

Have you ever heard the idea that running ice through your garbage disposal “sharpens the blades”? It’s a myth. Disposals don’t have sharp blades to sharpen, they use blunt metal impellers that grind food by forcing it against the chamber. Ice may help knock loose minor buildup as it crushes, but it won’t make anything sharper. For help with disposal cleaning or performance, trust Monkey Wrench.

Does your bathroom mirror fog up every time you shower? That’s a sign your exhaust fan may not be pulling moisture out like it should. When humidity gets trapped, it can lead to mold, mildew, peeling paint, and costly damage, so if the mirror stays fogged long after you’re done, it’s time to have your fan checked.

How much water are you wasting waiting for hot water to finally show up? It has to travel from your water heater to your shower, so the farther the run, the longer the wait, and more water down the drain. If it’s suddenly taking longer than usual, sediment buildup, an aging water heater, or another plumbing issue could be to blame. Call Monkey Wrench to diagnose the cause, or ask about a hot water recirculation pump.
