From the water heater to the sewer line.
Is the water here hard enough to matter?
Yes, across most of this area, and it is the reason so many water heaters fail early around here. Hard water leaves scale on the heating element and in the tank bottom, which insulates the burner from the water and makes the heater work longer for the same hot shower. You see it first on fixtures and glassware, then in a heater that takes longer to recover. Softening is worth pricing on its own merits, but the honest first step is finding out your actual grains per gallon rather than assuming, because it varies by supplier and some of them changed in the last few years.
Do you know where your main shutoff is?
It is the single most useful thing to know before you need it, and most people find out during the emergency. In this area it is usually where the line enters the basement or crawl space, often near the front of the house and close to the meter. Find it now, turn it to confirm it actually moves, and turn it back. A valve that has not been operated in twenty years can seize, and discovering that with water coming through a ceiling is a much worse time to learn it than a Saturday afternoon.
A toilet that runs on and off by itself. Serious?
It is called phantom flushing and it means water is escaping from the tank into the bowl, so the fill valve keeps topping it up. The culprit is nearly always the flapper, which hardens with age and stops sealing, and it is one of the cheapest parts in the house. It is worth fixing quickly rather than living with, because it runs continuously and quietly, and a running toilet shows up on the water bill at a scale that surprises people who assumed it was just a noise.
What should never go down the garbage disposal?
Grease first, and it is not close. It goes down warm and liquid and cools into a solid on the pipe wall a few feet along, then catches everything after it. After that: coffee grounds, eggshells, pasta and rice, and anything fibrous like celery or onion skins. A disposal that hums without turning is usually jammed rather than dead, and there is a hex socket on the underside for exactly that. If it is silent, check the reset button before assuming it needs replacing.
