By Lawrence Fishburne


If you love partying then it is a must that you know some basic plumbing tricks. While the following instructional can help anyone, it is specifically meant for people who have had an unpleasant experience at a friends house or during a social gathering. If it has not happened to you be thankful, but for everyone else, here are some tips to help you squirrel your way out of an uncomfortable and highly awkward situation to be a one of the Plumbing Specialists.

Most of the piping jobs you do yourself are only quick fixes. In the long run, the problem will persist and you will need to bring in residential piping services. The most obvious answer to the time to go for the expert is when you do not want or know how to do quick fixes.

Unless you have some piping skills or the piping problem is relatively simple, you should call a plumber. Doing the repairs yourself in an effort to save a few bucks might end up into a major problem which will cost more. Some homeowners though insist that some repairs are so minor, it does not need a plumber. A most valuable tip for homeowners is to know exactly when to hire residential piping services and when to do a quick fix.

Once finished, give it a cautionary flush to see if you dislodged the problem, but if it rises high, shut off the water again. By now a line might be forming outside of the bathroom, and you might have even got an angry knock or two. Do not panic. If you have your phone, call another friend at the party and tell them to bring you some dish-washing liquid and a big cup of hot water that is almost boiling.

Another common piping issue that causes homeowners problems is the running toilet. Everyone knows what a running toilet sounds like and everyone knows that that means you are wasting water. When your toilet is continuously running you can actually waist up to 200 gallons of water in a single day.

Do not in any attempt to do a quick fix on the low water pressure. This can be causing water not to reach the second floor bathroom in your home and slow water supply even in your kitchen sink. Your hot water supply has suddenly stopped which can be caused by either a leak in the hot water tank or a malfunction of the heating elements.

If you do it correctly and the clog was just due to too much toilet tissue or organic matter. It is almost fool proof method of dissolving and loosening the clump enough to get the plumbing working again. It is important not to use water that is boiling. However, you risk cracking the porcelain which will cause much more serious problems.

Should your pipes get frozen, you can do a quick fix by thawing the pipes with a hair dryer. But if you notice a crack or worst a bust, immediately call a plumber. A water line damaged by freezing is something you can do yourself. However, it is so time consuming and better left with a plumber who can do a faster and better job. Even if you are a handy man and can handle most home piping issues, there are some problems wherein doing it yourself will cause more damage than good. Knowing the right time to hire residential piping services will save you money.
