Fixing a Clogged Drain
Clogged drains can be frustrating and wasteful. Here's how you can fix one:
- Drain the water from the sink by turning off the faucet.
- Use a plunger to create suction and break up the clog.
- If the plunger doesn't work, try using a drain snake or plumber's auger.
Bursting Pipes
Bursting pipes can be expensive and damaging. Here's how to prevent them:
- Check for leaks around the pipes, especially after water damage or extreme weather.
- Use pipe insulation or heat tape to keep your pipes warm in cold climates.
- Don't let your water pressure get too high by using a water softener or limiting hot water usage.
