Plumbing Repair
Regular home plumbing repair problems can be enough to send your life and home into a spiral. It's hard to relax when you have a bathroom sink that needs repair, or a clogged toilet in your home. Fortunately, there are a few basic steps you can take to fix your home plumbing problems. For instance, in case of clogged toilet, toilet repairs can be as simple as plunging using a plunger, and pouring some water after every few minutes to clear the obstruction. If this doesn't work, you need a professional plumber to fix the toilet. Leaky or broken faucets are some of the most common problems in any home. To fix a faucet, first turn off the water supply, and unscrew the faucet taking care to place the removed parts in the same order in which you remove them. This helps you place the parts back in order again, when it's time to screw the faucet back on. Get the defective parts replaced, and make sure you take it with you to the store so you find the right match.
To clear a clogged sink, use your trusty plunger to clear the blockage. Plungers are actually very effective and handy home plumbing repair tools, but most people use them improperly. The goal is to create as much suction as possible to remove the obstruction. Some of the most common repairs involved in bathroom plumbing are unclogging shower drains. First, remove the cover of your drain, and using your flashlight look for any visible signs of obstruction. If you see something, take a straightened wire coat hanger, and use the hook to fish out the clog. If the hanger doesn't work, use a small plunger, and if this doesn't work either, use a plumber's snake. Simply insert the snake down the drain until you reach the clog. Turn the handle clockwise to enable the hook to grab the blockage, and pull it out.

We have some pipes that are shaking in the basement when we turn off water, flush the toilet, use the dishwasher, etc. They shake quite violently when we flush the one toilet (it's a bit old and seems to use a lot of water pressure). It shaking seems to be the cold water pipes coming in from the main water pipe and that continue up the wall and over to our hot water tank. There is also shaking when we turn off a hot water tap--this time the hot water pipe going into the hot water tank. It is mostly minor shaking--except for when the toilet stops flushing--that is, again--some pretty major shaking! Our house was built back in '59--so we weren't sure if this might be water hammer and the house just doesn't have any arrestors or anything? Also, my husband is interested in having a shut-off valve put onto a toilet that doesn't seem to have one (the toilet causing the major shaking) and some shut-off valves replaced on our kitchen sink (the ones that are there do not seem to work). |
Water leaks in the ceiling down stairs when the upstairs toilet is flushed. Haven't used upstairs toilet for a few months because of this leak. Looking for an estimate to repair the leak inside the ceiling. |
