DIY Plumbing Tips

Leakage in taps, clogging of drains and many more plumbing problems are a part and parcel of our daily routine. An individual residing in a city like Toronto can’t afford to call a plumber daily and pay him to fix a small leakage. As it is said, sometimes you are on your own. 

To make your plumbing experience a little easy and less clumsy, Toronto Plumbing Group has come up with some DIY plumbing tips which you can use while you and your bathroom are on your own. 

  

• Insulation of Pipe: Sometimes pipes get jiggled up while pulling out the sink sprayer. If this happens, chances are that the hose is catching on the shutoff valves and this whole thing need to be smoothen up. Instead of calling a plumber and spending dollars on his service, just foam the pipe insulation and shut off handles. Tape it if it won’t stay proper.  

• Shop Vaccum: Clogging of toilet or drain is a normal thing. What is not normal is when the clogging doesn’t open with the help of a plunger. That means some hard object is in the way and use of a plunger only pushes it deeper. To solve this, use a shop vaccum to get the object out. 
• Using Magnet: Sometimes there is leakage in the pipe and you don’t know. It’s better to locate where the leaking pipe is rather than waking up in the middle of the night experience a pipe burst. Use a magnet to locate the pipe if it’s trouble for you to find it.

And if something goes wrong, Toronto Plumbing Group has licensed plumbers working all over in Toronto and Mississauga to help you if anything goes wrong. We have plumbers available in case of emergency which work at extremely affordable prices.
