September 26, 2015 at 09:56PMhttp://kansascity-plumber.com One of the best ways of saving money is calling Kansas City Plumbing or your local plumber to fix small plumbing problems before they get bigger don’t know of your perspective on the same but that is the reality at the end of the day. Therefore, you should stop ignoring small problems with your plumbing system as they are definitely going to cause bigger problems than you expected.hre are two aspects that are normally ignored : Septic Tank Maintenance Have you ever thought about the stuff that people flush down their toilets and where it goes? What a question is this? Well, it is fair enough to flush it and then day goodbye! Luckily, most of us think about it! Nearly half the population of your state occupies a house that has got a septic tank. That is something Emergency Plumbing Kansas City or Kansas City Plumbing among others can witness but let’s avoid many details for now. The septic tank is the main collection points of sewage (wastewater).we just flush and do forget but this area requires ordinary maintenance. How often Let Kansas City Plumbing or your plumbing specialist open your septic tank and empty it for your systems sake. Well there is no simple response to what time this tank should be emptied but it depends on such things as the (sorry to say it) evenness of the stuff that goes into, and of course, its size. Fundamentally, if your septic tank is not pumped on a regular basis, it causes problems worth thousands of dollars. Just ask Emergency Plumbing Kansas City or your local plumber to give you some advice on how to maintain your septic tank. Low Water Pressure What do you normally think every time you are about to wash the dishes but your faucet gives you just a tiny trickle instead of a torrent? Perhaps there is a problem linked with water pressure. You are right! This can be solved by simply checking the pressure gauge; you can fix this easily. However, if the water pressure, according to your pressure gauge, is ok, then you have got a much bigger problem. Perhaps the drain is clogged. When to call the plumber This can be easily handled by Emergency Plumbing Kansas City or any other reliable local plumbing service. They will use their apparatus to suck out blockages in the pipes. For a house with a refurbished basement, a clogged drain is a recurring issue since they have small pipes. In such a case, get a plumber to give you an estimate on how much it will cost you. Remember it is well worth fixing. You may be wondering how fixing these two areas saves money but the reality is that if you ignored the septic tank and the water pressure in your pipes, the problem would graduate to other levels that call for replacement.

Kansascity-plumber Customer Testimonial + 6 Plumbing Tips You Can Use Right Now ! by KansasCity-plumber
A great testimonial we got for Kansascity-plumber. Kansascity-plumber plumbing services, plumbing repair and more. Call us at: 816-266-4851 Visit us online: http://kansascity-plumber.com 5 PLUMBING TIPS YOU CAN USE RIGHT NOW: 1) Stop your sink sprayer from dragging Try using foam pipe insulation to prevent sprayer snags If the hose on your sink sticks or is hard to pull out, there’s a good chance the hose is hanging up on one of the shutoff values underneath your sink. To help with this problem, try placing a piece of 1/2 inch foam piping insulation around the pipe and the shutoff valve. If you find it starts slipping or won’t stay in place, so good old duct tape should help hold it in place. You can pick these items up at any local hardware store. 2) Got loud creaky pipes? Here is another place where wrapping your pipes will do a world of good. When hot water comes down the pipes it causes them to expand and rub or “grind” against the floor joists and pipe hangers. Luckily, a few bucks spent on some adhesive backed taping will do the trick. Visit your local hardware store. Pick up some adhesive backed tape. Then visually inspect spots where the pipes are rubbing directly against the floor joists or the pipe hangers. Use the tape to wrap the pipe and act as a buffer so it doesn’t rub directly on the joist or hanger. 3) Does your sink make noise/vibrate? Expanding foam can help This is a bit involved, but well worth it if you want to stop that annoying vibration sound your sink makes. You’ll have to crawl underneath your sink and you’ll more than likely need a flashlight and eye protection. Pick up a can of the yellow expanding foam at somewhere like Lowes, Home Depot or Ace Hardware. We personally like the GREAT STUFF brand. Fill in the spaces between the two basins of the sink. Be careful. A little of this stuff goes a long way and its super sticky. Let the foam harden and trim away any excess with a utility knife. If you are able to do this before you install the sink, its much easier than a retro fit job. 4) Pipe location Got magnets? If you have a situation where you need to locate your pipes underneath the flooring, a magnet is your best bet. Attach a neodymium magnet to a tape used for “fishing” wires. Most of the time these are used by electricians, but in our case we can use it for plumbing. Begin by slowly feeding the wire into a drain line through your cleanout plug. In most houses there are a few clean out plugs, so find the one closest to the pipe you are trying to locate. On the top side, use a compass to search for the pipe. When you are over the pipe, the compass will spin like crazy and let you know a general location of the pipe in the flooring or wall. 5) Handy Orange bucket trick/why didn’t I think of that ?----- Using a 5 gallon bucket to flush the toilet. When working on your toilet, we advise that you turn off your water. But before you turn off the water to the whole house, try this first: Fill up a 5 gallon bucket of water and set it aside. Trust us, this is much better than turning the water back on and having the one spot where its leaking giving you an unwelcome shower. But we digress. By having the 5 gallon bucket handy, you can “flush” your toilet and check to see if its operating correctly without having a full stream of water turned on. It will do the same thing as a normal flush, it just won’t fill up the tank and could save you a lot of water in the long run. 6) See into the future (not really, just another tip) If, for whatever reason, you have to remove drywall or wall material, take a snapshot with your phone. Yeah it’s not something you are going to want to post to Facebook or Instagram, but what it does give you is a clear picture of what’s behind the wall. That way if you ever have to drill/remodel/or whatever you know where your plumbing lines are located in your wall. You can also help zero in on a possible cause if you start to see leaks, seepage or moisture on your walls near where the plumbing lines run.
