Common Piping Problems That Need The Help Of The Plumbing Specialists

By Lawrence Fishburne


If you love partying then it is a must that you know some basic plumbing tricks. While the following instructional can help anyone, it is specifically meant for people who have had an unpleasant experience at a friends house or during a social gathering. If it has not happened to you be thankful, but for everyone else, here are some tips to help you squirrel your way out of an uncomfortable and highly awkward situation to be a one of the Plumbing Specialists.

You may have been to a party and could not hold it in a minute longer. You then then realize that the toilet has clogged. Whatever you do, do not flush it again. This is the cardinal rule regarding clogs. Another flush will most likely cause overflow. The first thing you need to do is shut off the water valve before the water gets to the top of the rim.

In reality the reason that your pipes are creaking is that hot water running through a metal pipe will cause that to expand slightly. When hot water stops running through the pipe the pipe cools off. This means the pipe will now contract.

Once finished, give it a cautionary flush to see if you dislodged the problem, but if it rises high, shut off the water again. By now a line might be forming outside of the bathroom, and you might have even got an angry knock or two. Do not panic. If you have your phone, call another friend at the party and tell them to bring you some dish-washing liquid and a big cup of hot water that is almost boiling.

Sometimes, you will need to do a combination of both especially when the piping emergency happens after office hours and on weekends when plumber rates are expensive. You can do a quick fix while waiting for the plumber. When any of the following piping issue arises, immediately call residential piping services, regardless of the time of day and day in the week.

The cause of this is simply a defective flapper. You can purchase kits to replace the rubber flap at your local hardware store. It usually only takes about thirty minutes to fix this problem. Probably one of the most common piping problems would be the water temperature fluctuating while you are in the shower. Generally you get a sudden burst of cold water while you are taking a hot shower when more water is turned on somewhere else in the house.

If you do it correctly and the clog was just due to too much toilet tissue or organic matter. It is almost fool proof method of dissolving and loosening the clump enough to get the plumbing working again. It is important not to use water that is boiling. However, you risk cracking the porcelain which will cause much more serious problems.

Some people try to use the untwisted coat hanger as an impromptu snake. Generally these cannot be manipulated to reach deep into the pipes as they bend quickly. The wire is also not flexible enough to follow the plumbing curves. Hiding the hanger after the deed can also be tricky and unpleasant. If the dish-washing soap fails after two attempts, it might be time to confess to the host. Or, if you do not have much to lose, let the next person in line take the blame.
