Here is a list of the items you should purchase and have gathered in a kit for all your DIY plumbing projects and undertakings. <\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022\tPlunger<br \/>\n\u2022\tPipe Wrench<br \/>\n\u2022\tDrain Snake<br \/>\n\u2022\tDrain Cleaner Solution<br \/>\n\u2022\tRubber Gloves<br \/>\n\u2022\tCalcium-Lime-Rust Remover (CRL)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A plunger is the most basic and necessary tool for any home. It is used to dislodge buildup and fix clogged toilets. A pipe wrench is equally necessary for anyone who wishes to stop a dripping faucet, or a leaky pipe under the sink. These wrenches are adjustable and easy to use; and can be fitted to most pipes and fixtures. Snaking a drain can be done just by using an old wire hanger, but several products are available on the market that provide a snake and a drain cleaning solution. These are great products to have on-hand in the case of a clogged or backed-up drain. Rubber gloves protect the hands from harsh cleaning and drain clearing solutions, including CRL. CRL is a popular calcium, lime, and rust remover that can remove white scum and buildup from plumbing fixtures. <\/p>\n<h2>Weilhammer Plumbing Co.
