Plumbing Tips And Tricks That Everyone Should Know

Plumbing issues are a headache for people who don’t know how to fix them. Not only are professional plumbers costly, but they also may have you waiting for too long. Keep reading to arm yourself with some very useful plumbing advice!

To keep your pipes from freezing in the winter, insulate all exterior pipes and be sure to keep your interior house temperature above freezing, even if the house is vacant. If the temperature surrounding the pipes is anywhere below freezing, this can cause the pipes to freeze. Even in the best case scenario, it will take hours for thawing to happen before you have running water again. However, they might burst, which will cause an enormous mess and repair bill.

If your garbage disposal is not working correctly, you should not try to fix it by putting your hand in through the drain. Garbage disposals can be very dangerous, so take caution when fixing it, even while it’s turned off. It’s advised to obtain a diagram, possibly off of the Internet, that depicts your machine in accurate detail.

Obnoxiously loud pipes that like to squeal and hammer are easy situations to correct. What you will have to do is anchor any pipes that are exposed. You may need to hire a professional to help with any projects involving pipes that are hidden in the floors, ceiling or walls.

Check the floors in your bathroom for any give in order to be sure that there is no damage in the floors. You can check for softness or weakness in the floor by placing one foot on each side of the toilet and rocking back and forth. You could save yourself money but noticing that problem sooner, rather than later.

Give all drains strainers to gather particulate matter that can clog pipes. Your kitchen sink strainer must be cleaned whenever it catches anything. Clean bathtub drain screens as often as needed.

If your home operates on well water and you notice pink or orange stains in your bathtub and other fixtures, this is no doubt due to iron in the water. Luckily, you can quickly fix this by adding some water softener to your supply. You can pick up this product at a lot of stores, or have it shipped out to you.

Pump your septic tank about once every five years, to make sure it is working well. This stop sedimentary particles from accumulating in the tank, and in the worst cases, flooding your home or making the entire system to fail. In this case, the cost of prevention definitely outweighs having your septic backing up into your house or failing.

Set up a time when all plumbing work will be completed at one time. While you may be tempted to call the plumber whenever you have a slight problem, scheduling it all at once gives you the opportunity to save money to pay for the repairs. You’ll save a ton of money by not having to pay a professional to come out multiple times, instead only paying them to show up once to handle different problems all at once.

Kitchen Sink

If water that is not supposed to be there is in the dishwasher, the likely culprit is a kitchen sink hose not properly attached. The hose between the kitchen sink and the dishwasher has to have a peak in the middle so that the water can’t wash back in the wrong direction.

You do not give the plumber all the money until he is finished with his work. Sometimes it is required to put a little money down before the job starts, but don’t ever pay the whole amount before you know the task is done correctly. Knowing that the plumber performed all services, as promised, can be good for your peace of mind and your wallet.

When replacing your shower head, spend the money on a high-quality model. Many times, people think it is okay to buy the cheapest shower head that they can find. This is not the case though. The cheaper models usually are low quality and will break easier than a high quality fixture.

Use a cleaner that is enzyme based if you want to clean clogged pipes. Enzyme cleaners contain bacteria that digest through solid sludge, making it weak enough to be flushed out. Some of the finest cleaners are enzyme cleaners.

As you can see, plumbing problems don’t have to be so difficult. If you can solve the problem yourself, you can save time waiting for a plumber, as well as saving a whole lot of money. Try applying what you’ve learned from this article next time you have a plumbing problem!

If your toilet’s water level is low, the toilet is clogged up, and using a plunger isn’t resolving the issue, hold a bucket filled with warm water at about your waistline, and pour it into your toilet. Repeat this as many times as necessary until your clog is gone, and you can flush normally once again.
