7 Things Should Learn About Plumbing Now

It’s March 31, 2017, and the last video I posted to my youtube channel was on Feb 25th. I’m sitting here in my office with a totally blank slate. So rather than racking my brains out trying to decide what content to create, I’m going to ask my subscribers. I need your HELP! What Videos would you like me to post? After 40 years in the service business, I lose sight of the fact that my daily adventures don’t seem all that important to me. But I’m probably missing the fact that what comes second nature to me, may be of great interest and really valuable to you. So again I ask, what Plumbing Videos / Basic Plumbing Repairs do you want me to create? Do you really want to see major plumbing alterations and repairs?

We would like to encourage you throughout the new year to follow these and other plumbing maintenance resolutions you may come up with, for the benefit of yourself and your family, your neighbors, and our environment. As always, PlumbingSupply.com® wishes you a safe and happy New Year! Water is one of our most precious natural resources – we can’t live without it, and yet there’s a very limited supply. If you’re thinking of doing a kitchen, bath or laundry room remodel this year, choose water-efficient faucets and shower heads, and/or place a point-of-use water heater in areas where you consistently run the taps to heat water up. Outdoors, you can install a drip-irrigation system instead of a new sprinkler or consider setting up your own rainwater harvesting system to use for watering plants or washing your car. It can be helpful to think of your toilet as another appliance in your home. Anything with moving parts can break or wear down – and that includes the moving parts of your toilet. Save water and avoid costly problems later with good maintenance this year. Ideally, your water heater should last between 10 and 15 years, but without proper maintenance many fail after 5 or 6 years, leaving you frustrated and sometimes causing significant damage to your home. An annual flush and all-around check to make sure all the parts are functioning well can help you avoid cold showers, save you money, and extend the life of your water heater. Nobody wants to deal with the hassle (and often major expense) associated with clogged drains.

Installing one involves cutting the appropriate size hole in the drywall, then gluing the frame in place. Increasingly, access panels are being installed to provide easier access to low-voltage and communication wiring systems and devices. Some sneaky people use access panels as a place to stash valuables. Check out our  ultimate guide of secret hiding places in your home. "Green treated" (aka pressure-treated) refers to wood that's had preservatives forced into it, under pressure, to help protect it against decay and insect attacks. Today, the most commonly used preservative is ACQ—Alkaline Copper Quaternary. The copper in the solution is the chemical that imparts the green color; as the wood dries and reacts to sunlight, the color fades to gray. Brown or "cedar tone" treated lumber may be either ACQ lumber treated with a brown stain or lumber treated using CA (Copper Azole). The most important thing to know when purchasing any pressure-treated lumber is that they're treated to various degrees of chemical retention levels. Common ratings include "ground contact," "above ground" and "below-ground contact"; make sure to purchase the right material for the job. Steer clear of lumber and landscape timbers stamped or tagged "treated to refusal"; it's a vague term and guarantees no specific level of treatment.

It’s the flush of fear: you pull the handle and the water rises… and keeps rising. If you’re lucky, it stops before it spills over the bowl. If you’re not, it’s time to break out the mop. Toilet troubles like this are generally due to a clog within the waste pipe; it may be a build up of that bottom-cushioning two-ply, or maybe your kid wanted to see if a Lego Man could swim. Either way, you can usually stop everyday clogs with a plunger, dish soap, or vinegar/baking soda solution. If clogs continue, you should call in a plumbing pro who can use high-end video
