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.
