DIY Spring Plumbing Tips From The Sunny Plumber

LAS VEGAS - Feb. 3, 2016 - PRLog -- Spring has nearly sprung, which means it’s the perfect time for “Spring Cleaning.” The Sunny Plumber Las Vegas is reminding homeowners that seasonal cleaning is also important for your home’s pipe and drainage systems. Here are easy tips to protect your home against plumbing problems:

Check faucets for drips or leaks. Make repairs to save water.

Check toilets for hidden leaks. Add six drops of food coloring to the toilet tank. If the toilet is leaking, color will appear in the bowl within 30 minutes

Ensure that all drains have strainers to prevent hair, soap and debris from clogging the drain lines.

Inspect toilet tank and bowl for cracks or leaks.

Exercise water supply valves under sinks and toilets to prevent them from sticking.

Make sure toilets flush properly. If the handle must be held down for a thorough flush or jiggled to stop the water from running you may need to replace worn tank parts. They’re inexpensive and you’ll notice a lower water bill.

Pour a gallon of water into infrequently used drains (including floor drains) to fill the trap and prevent odors from entering the house.
