Quick Fixes for Plumbing Repairs before Calling an 24/7 Emergency Plumber
When there is a plumbing issue at home, you’ll probably ask yourself do you really need to call a 24 hour emergency plumbing service right away? Or perhaps, you can attempt to fix it yourself first. Here are some common plumbing issues you may encounter:
Leaking toilet
Knowing how to adjust a toilet float is key to solving this problem. There are many reasons why a toilet may leak, but most of the time, it is caused by a misaligned float. The float actually acts as a stopper, preventing the cistern from overflowing into the toilet bowl each time it needs to be refilled. Remove the tank cover and check the position of the float. If it is misaligned, it will leave the valve open and cause water to continue filling the tank. If this is the case, simply push the arm downwards until the float is in the right position. This will cause the valve to close and stop more water from entering the tank. Try to flush the toilet and observe as it refills. If the float returns to its right position before the tank is filled, you are good to go.
Clogged bath drain
Learning how to unclog a bath drain can be manageable. Most of the time, what causes the problem is an accumulation of soap sediments or hair in the strainer. You can remove the strainer and clear the sediments out, or, if the strainer is clear, the blockage may be a little further down the drain. You may need to use a plunger for blockages further down. If these techniques don’t work, perhaps using a plumber’s snake will do the trick. You can also use a chemical cleaner to get rid of the blockage. These should not be used too often as they could cause damage to your pipes.
Broken bath trap
A broken bath trap may just mean replacing the old trap with a new one. If you find learning how to unclog a bath drain rather easy, then you won’t have a hard time fixing a broken trap at all. The trap is usually located underneath the bath attached to the plughole. Once the trap has been removed, clean the area around the drain trap and attach the new drain trap once you’re done. Reinstall the drain stopper, turn the water on, and fill the bath. If you have successfully fixed the trap, it shouldn’t leak anymore.
