<\/a>Bathroom Hacks for Plumbing Problems<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\nToilets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nYou don\u2019t want your toilet in the fritz, especially if it\u2019s the only one in the house! Not only is a broken toilet inconvenient, but it can also lead to some nasty messes. Common toilet problems include slow flushing<\/a>, clogged toilet<\/a>, backed up toilet, running toilet<\/a>, loose lever<\/a>, loose toilet seat, toilet leaks<\/a>, and even toilet stains<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFirst, do not flush things down your toilet that don\u2019t belong! But more importantly, toilet leaks are the most serious toilet plumbing issue, so it\u2019s important to test your toilet to ensure it is leak-free. Do this by using some household food coloring. Do not use blue if you have a toilet bowl insert that already turns your water blue. Add a few drops of food coloring into the toilet tank, not the bowl. Then flush the toilet. Wait a few minutes, then lift the lid. If you see color in the toilet bowl, you might have a leak. Call an Indy plumber<\/a> right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSinks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nSinks are notorious for having low water pressure<\/a>. If your faucet is showing signs of low water pressure, you may need to clean the aerator. It\u2019s easy! Just grab an old toothbrush that you can dedicate to dirty work, then simply unscrew the faucet tip. You might need a wrench if it\u2019s on tight. Scrub the aerator clean with warm water and then reassemble. If you have hard water problems<\/a>, you may need to repeat this hack on a routine basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\nClogs are another common bathroom sink problem. Install a drain strainer to prevent unwanted constituents from clogging it all up, like hair and dental floss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bathtub<\/strong>s<\/h2>\n\n\n\nYour bathtub is a sanctuary. So, when it begins to lose water mid-bath, the luxury of it all seems to go down the drain with it. A simple repair hack for a checking the sealant on your bathtub\u2019s drain stopper is to simply fill the tub with water, mark the water line, and then wait. After an hour, see if the water level has dropped. If so, you may need to re-caulk the drain or replace the stopper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Showers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe biggest problem with showers is reduced water pressure. And a cakey shower head is the most common culprit. To open your shower head nodules and spouts back up, disconnect your shower head and place it in a bag filled with distilled white vinegar. Allow it to soak overnight and then rinse it clean in the morning before reattaching. The vinegar will dissolve the limescale buildup and improve your shower head performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drains<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nClogs are by far the most frequent problems with bathroom drains. Install a drain strainer or mesh cover to prevent unwanted objects from obstructing them, like hair<\/a>, cotton swabs, dental floss, soap residues, makeup, and more. Also, get yourself a good, old-fashioned drain auger, also called a snake. These can help unclog any drain<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIs your bathroom in need of emergency plumbing assistance? Or perhaps some routine plumbing service?<\/strong> Contact Weilhammer Plumbing Company<\/a> at 317-784-1870 for a wide range of professional plumbing services in Indianapolis, Indiana<\/a>. We serve residential and commercial clients and offer free advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRelated Posts:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWhy is There Sand in My Bathtub?<\/a>
