subject: Aaa Auger Houston Texas Plumbing Services Answers Top 3 Plumbing Questions [print this page] The AAA AUGER Houston Texas Plumbing Services team is often asked many of the same questions from our customers. With that in mind, we"d like to help put your mind at ease and offer our advice on the top five plumbing questions we receive.
"Winter is coming up, so how do I keep my pipes from freezing?"
First, protect exposed pipes and wrap them in foam or another type of insulation. Many products available at your local hardware store will fit around different kinds of faucets. To protect the pipes in your walls, the best option is to let your faucets drip overnight. The continuous water flow warms the pipe and prevents freezing.
"I have a much higher water bill than I did last month, what could be wrong?"
First, check for a plumbing leak. Then, look for damp spots on the walls and ceiling. Check fixtures in the bathroom, then the kitchen and water heater to make sure that no water is leaking out. It may also be that your toilet is running when it"s not in use. If none of these are the culprit, call your local AAA AUGER plumber to help you diagnose the problem.
"What items are essential in a basic plumbing tool kit?"
AAA AUGER Houston Texas plumbers love when our customers take initiative! The most important item to have is a plunger. It"s not just for toilets either! Plungers are the perfect tool to unclog sinks and showers, as well. Another key item to have is a wet-dry vacuum. You never know when a pipe will burst, or when a toilet will overflow so, if and when this happens, a wet-dry vacuum will reduce the damage done to your property by quickly pulling up the water.
