Do it yourself plumbing fixes are a good idea if you are confident in performing basic household repairs. If you are not confident in your handy skills, it’s best to hire a professional plumber to handle the repairs.
It’s great that you’re taking the initiative to tackle clogged drains yourself! Consider, using natural methods like baking soda, vinegar, and hydrogen peroxide can be effective and environmentally friendly. Plus, it’s always satisfying to solve household issues on your own. The following video explains 8 ways you can naturally unclog your back-up drains including baking soda, plungers and snaking.
A running toilet is often caused by a faulty flapper or a problem with the fill valve. The flapper is a rubber mechanism that controls the flow of water from the tank to the bowl, while the fill valve is responsible for refilling the tank after each flush. You can try adjusting the chain on the flapper or replacing the flapper or fill valve to fix the issue. This can help prevent water wastage and save you from higher water bills.
If you’re not comfortable with any of these fixes, or if the problem is more complex, Rain City Plumbing can help you with your household plumbing maintenance and repair. If you’re not confident that you can get the job right on your own, we are just a phone call away.
