you to take care of many of these problems on your own. Here are some helpful
tips to teach you how to handle plumbing problems yourself.
When starting
a plumbing project that is due to loud noises in your pipes empty the pipes
first. This can be an easy fix to an other wise wasted huge job. Just close the
main water line and open the facets throughout the house. After the water has
stopped flowing turn the water on from the main source and check to see if the
noise is eliminated.
To prevent the pipes from freezing, it is advisable
to seal off air vents, cracks and access doors. In order to keep the heat in and
the cold out, you can try using insulation or caulk. In the event a leak occurs,
make it a point to remind everyone where the master circuit breaker is so it can
be shut off immediately.
If a pipe ever freezes, you need to make sure to
shut off the water. This will keep the pipe from bursting and causing you major
damage to your home. Make sure to shut the water off at the main valve, and then
open the faucet that is closest to the frozen pipe so it can drain while it is
thawing out.
You can remove unsightly mineral buildup from your shower
head by soaking it in vinegar overnight. This loosens the deposits, and in the
morning you only need to wipe off the residue with a rag. If your shower head is
high up an not removable, place vinegar in a plastic bag, slip the bag over the
shower head and hold in place with a twist tie.
Use filters on all drains
to prevent debris that might clog the pipes from getting through. Your kitchen
sink strainer needs cleaning every time something big gets stuck in it. Clean
bathtub drain screens as often as needed.
If you are unable to relieve a
clogged toilet with a plunger, try pouring a small bucket of water into the bowl
from about waist level if the level of water in the bowl is low. The water
should go down, and you can pour another bucket of water if the toilet is still
clogged.
Do not, under any circumstances, put lemons down your disposal.
Although the lemon smell will give your disposal a great smell, its acid can
corrode the metal parts in it. Instead, use products that are made specifically
for this use. You can purchase these products at most hardware stores or
wherever cleaning products are sold.
Be certain that your toilet does not
leak. Check for leaks by putting a few drops of food coloring into the tank of
each toilet. If you see the coloring after a few seconds, you will know that
there is a problem with your toilet that needs immediate attention.
