As experienced plumbers, we want to share our knowledge and a few tips with you to help prevent future plumbing problems and assist you in conserving water.
Shower
1. Are you noticing a foul odor in your shower stall? If so, the issue may be a leaking drain pipe. A foul odor can mean a number of issues; however it is extremely important that you have it checked out by a professional.
2. If you are dealing with a slow shower drain it would be a good idea to invest in a small shower snake. Using a small shower snake to unclog tough build-up in your drain may be more helpful than using a liquid drain cleaner. To prevent build-up in your shower drain, you can try replacing your shower strainer with a strainer that collects excess hair before it travels into the drain. Also, be sure to collect any hair that is found on the strainer after every shower.
3. Try replacing your old shower head with a new one as this can help you conserve water and help you save money.
Household Appliance
1. Have you noticed that there is a bit of water left in your dishwasher after every wash? This water prevents your dishes from burning while they are being dried. However, if you notice excess water in your unit after a wash, there is a chance that your drain may be clogged and should be examined by a professional.
