The ABC’s To Fixing Plumbing Problems
Some of the most common problems you can have in terms of plumbing are clogging and leaks. You need to know how to fix these problems before things get worse. In this article, we are going to learn how to be able to repair and resolve some basic plumbing problems.
A sure sign of clogging is when your plumbing fixtures are draining very slowly. Just in case that it happens, you need to check the vents and make sure that there are no debris which have been deposited on it. You have to have a ladder so that you may gain access to the roof just below the vent. Look for possible objects that created clogging in the vent. Some of the common objects you might see in the vents are leaves, thin strips of woods or birds’ nesting debris. If you cannot remove the debris, contact a plumber immediately. In order to avoid the same thing from happening, what you can do is to seal the vent with either screens or caps.
To fix clogged water pipes, you need to remove and clean up any debris. You can remove the clogs by using a mixture of boiled water, a cup of baking soda and a cup of vinegar. You should follow a systematic pouring of the mixture first pouring down the baking soda, and then the vinegar and finally pour down the boiling water. But in cases where there still seems to be some clogging, you may need to use a drain snake or a plumber’s auger until the clog is broken down or dissolved completely. Afterwards, continue to apply baking soda, vinegar and boiling water until the pipe has been cleared.
Water pipe leaks can create a mess on your kitchen or bathroom floor if it cannot be solved immediately. So, the first thing you need to do is to turn off the water supply which is mostly found under or near the plumbing fixtures. Clean the area immediately and do some quick fixing by layering with electrical tape the affected or leaked area. But in case the leaks come from pipes which are not fitted properly, you need to utilize some epoxy.
For serious problems related to clogs and leaks, the best resolution would be to get the help of a professional plumber ASAP. This may be because there are some hard plumbing problems which needs to be resolved. If you think you are not capable of fixing your water pipe system, then call a plumber.
