 Plumbing Tips & Hints

The average household plumbing system represents an investment of about fifteen percent of the value of the house. No part of the house is more important. Nothing in the house is used more often. A smoothly functioning plumbing system is a pin to health and adds to the convenience of modern living.

These tips and hints were written with the objective of helping home owners as well as renters keep their plumbing systems in good operating condition. The sale value of a house with sound plumbing is far greater than that of a house where plumbing is in poor repair.

There are many things that an owner or renter can do; there are many things that should be left to an expert-the plumbing contractor and his staff of plumbers. Minor repairs should be made promptly. Annoyances such as a clogged drain, dripping faucet or a leaking flush valve in the toilet, are more than a mere bother - they usually waste money.

Major repairs, replacements, and new plumbing installations should be left to a plumbing contractor. His working methods are based on years of experience and training- and his guarantee is assurance that all materials and methods are of the highest quality.

These tips will help prolong the useful life of your plumbing system. Your plumber will be glad to give you additional hints that apply specifically to your own home.
