Common plumbing problems and solutions
- Leaky faucet: Fixing a leaky faucet can be done with minimal tools, such as an Allen wrench and plumber's tape. Replace worn-out O-rings or gaskets to seal the issue.
- Bad showerhead installation: Install a new showerhead and adjust the aerator valve to ensure proper water flow. If necessary, replace the aerator valve entirely.
DIY plumbing fixes for common issues
- Sink drain clog: Use a plunger or a drain snake to clear the blockage. If the problem persists, try using baking soda and vinegar to break down any stubborn debris.
- Toilet issue: Check the flapper valve for proper sealing. Adjust the chain length or replace the flapper if necessary. For more severe issues, consider calling a professional plumber.
