PLUMBCO'S Tips & Ideas

1. Never place objects such as Q-tips, dental floss or paper products not designed for toilets into the water closets in your home.

2. Use plenty of water when running your garbage disposal. The more you use, the less likely you will clog the drain. Place items in the disposal slowly, rather than all at once.

3. Calling a plumber to fix a leaky faucet can save you costly replacement(s) of the faucets after having to "close it tightly" one too many times. These techniques actually break the inner mechanisms of your faucets.

4. Turn the temperature down on the water heater in your home especially if you have elders or small children. Loved ones can be scolded and old pipes that are too hot may actually burst under the additional stress of near boiling temperatures. Bottom line, keep your water a little too hot to touch, but not too hot to touch!

5. Why not hire a plumber to modify your existing shower to create that "spa" feeling every morning to reduce stress in your daily events to follow. It's a cheap alternative to that Beverly Hills Spa.

6. Benefit your environment by having those annoying leaks repaired and having a toilet flush right the first time. Rising energy costs may not be the only thing you'll be combating.
