DIY plumbing tips for a cleaner, more efficient home.
Cleaning Your Garbage Disposal:
Over time, your garbage disposal can become clogged with food debris and other materials. In addition, it may become blocked with leftover food and other waste. To maintain proper operation, fill the disposal with hot water for 15 to 20 seconds, drop in a few ice cubes, and add a few teaspoons of rock salt. Give it
15 to 20 seconds of use for a clean and deodorized disposal.
Fixing Leaky Faucets:
Leaky faucets are not only annoying, but they can also waste a significant amount of water. To fix a leaky faucet, turn off the water supply and remove the faucet handle. Replace any damaged parts, such as the washer or O-ring, and reassemble the faucet.
Replacing Showerheads and Faucets:
Upgrading your plumbing fixtures is a great way to improve the appearance and functionality of your home. To replace a showerhead or faucet, turn off the
water supply, remove the old fixture, and install the new one according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Insulating Pipes:
Insulating your pipes can help prevent frozen pipes in the winter and reduce the risk of condensation in the summer. To insulate your pipes, wrap them in foam
insulation and secure them with duct tape.
Checking Your Water Pressure:
High water pressure can damage your plumbing and lead to leaks and other problems. Attach a pressure gauge to an outdoor faucet and turn on the water to check your water pressure. If the pressure is higher than 80 psi, consider installing a pressure-reducing valve.
