Plumbers Give Golden Pieces of Advice

When you need medical advice, the best person to
talk to is a doctor,right? If youre redecorating
your house, you should ask an interior designer.
If you find yourself in a homemaking rut, you
call up Martha Stewart.

Kidding aside, if you want the best advice, you
ask an expert. This goes for plumbing tips as
well. Heres a collection of plumbing care advice
straight from the horses mouth Use a
stainless steel hose for your washing machine

Did you know that a burst washing machine hose is
behind one of the most common insurance claims in
the U.S.? Rubber water hoses are prone to
breakage and bursting. Unfortunately, they seem
to be the type that goes with washing machines by
default.

So, in case youre buying a new washing machine
make sure that you get a stainless steel hose to
go with it. On the other hand, if youre still
using a rubber hose, replace it
immediately. Know where the main water valve is
located

Believe it or not, plumbers often find themselves
answering a hysterical phone call in which the
person on the other end is crying because their
house is flooded. This dilemma can be prevented
by a very simple knowledge the location of your
stopcock.

The stopcock is basically the off-switch of your
water supply. So instead of panicking when you
find your home flooded, go straight to the
stopcock and turn it off. Protect your pipes
from hair clogs

Dont allow your hair to go down the drain of
your tub or shower area. Get a hair snare or
drain cover. Its cheap and you can install it
yourself. Do this and youll save yourself from
nasty clogs and paying hundreds of dollars for a
24 hour emergency plumber.

Dont flush baby wipes. No matter how big they
plaster the word FLUSHABLE on the packaging,
dont throw it into the toilet bowl. They are
thicker and sturdier than the usual toilet paper
and they can clog your pipes while going down.
