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 .
