Plumbing & Plumber Quick Tips
"A clogged drain in a bathroom sink is often the result of hair
building up around the stopper. Most stoppers are removed easily for
cleaning by either turning them and lifting up or detaching the lift
mechanism from under the sink."
"If you have a septic system, commercial drain cleaners can kill the
bacteria in your system that make it work. Use these chemicals sparingly
or not at all."
"Does your toilet run constantly. Check the flapper at the bottom of
the tank to make sure that it seats completely. Also check the float ball
for leaks."
"Periodically drain your water heater to remove sediment from the
bottom. Sediment in the bottom of the tank can cause the water heater to
fail prematurely."
"Have hard water? Consider having a plumbing professional install a
water softener in your home. Water softeners remove minerals from your
water reducing scale buildup in your system and improving the performance
of soaps."
