Few Simple Tips to Prevent and Correct Plumbing and Heating Problems
�
Consider replacing metal piping with plastic piping if you experience any problem. Plastic piping is usually of higher quality and is cheaper than metal as well. You will find it a lot easier to install and adjust plastic piping on your own. You can repair it easily if there is a leakage problem. A good thing about plastic piping is that it does not corrode like that metal piping you may already have installed in your home.
� Be sure to check your faucets regularly for any leakage problems. When you have dripping faucets, there is usually a problem with washers. The issue may also be the result of bad internal seats or faulty faucet cartridges. Check all these parts to fix the issue.

Pay attention to the water pressure in the pipes. It should be less than 80 pounds per square inch. If it is higher, it will eventually damage your faucet and cause leakage problems.
� Do not use harsh chemicals to open your clogged kitchen sink. Grease is usually the underlying problem here, but you do not want to correct it by using harsh chemicals, as they can corrode the pipes. A better option would be to pour ¼ cup of common dish soap down the drain and leave it for at least 20 minutes. Finish by pouring some boiling water in the drain to get good results.
