4 Useful Plumbing Tips<br />
1. Don't Be Afraid to Replace<br />
Parts Inside Your Toilet or Faucet<br />
Taking apart pipes under your sink<br />
or shower can lead to messy issues if<br />
you make a mistake. However,<br />
there's very little you can damage by<br />
trying to replace your toilet's flapper<br />
or your faucet's cartridge.<br />
Worn flappers are a common cause of leaks between the toilet tank and<br />
bowl. And they only cost a few dollars! As a bonus, the package comes with<br />
easy-to-follow instructions for replacement.<br />
2. Remove Clogs Without Chemicals :Next time your drain is clearing<br />
slowly, don't buy expensive, chemical drain cleaners. Manually unclog a<br />
drain with a drain snake. Just insert into the drain and pull back out with<br />
(hopefully) the clog culprit attached. If you don't have or don't want to hassle<br />
with one, try using a wet/dry shop vacuum to suck out the clog.<br />
3.Check Your Showerhead for Issues Thread tape is also one of<br />
the easiest ways to fix a dripping showerhead. Chances are, the leak<br />
means the threads aren't connecting tightly. Unscrew the showerhead,<br />
apply new tape by wrapping in a clockwise direction, and reattach<br />
to stop the drip.<br />
Forget Thread Sealing Compounds, Use Thread Tape<br />
Thread sealing compound, commonly known as "pipe dope," can<br />
drip and smear. For most DIY projects involving pipe threads around<br />
the house, thread tape will work just as well or better. You can buy a<br />
multi-purpose tape, which is usually white. Thicker tape is usually<br />
yellow for gas or pink for water. Try one of the thicker options for<br />
easier handling.<br />
4. Use Heat to Loosen Tough Water Pipe Fittings You might be<br />
able to apply heat to loosen up old, solidified pipe dope. made.<br />

Safety tips from our favourite Electrician<br />
• Do your research before buying portable heaters and ensure<br />
they bear a recognized certification mark on each item . Be very<br />
cautious of overloading circuits with space heaters. ALWAYS keep<br />
a minimum 1m clearance from all clothing and or equipment to prevent<br />
fires and NEVER leave space heaters unattended!<br />
• Check and ensure all exterior GFCI receptacles are not damaged,<br />
broken and or seized before hanging up your seasonal celebration<br />
lights outside!<br />
All your exterior<br />
power needs<br />
should be GFCI protected<br />
at all times.<br />
Think safety first !<br />
• Fallen power<br />
lines happen. If a<br />
powerline goes<br />
down and lands on<br />
your vehicle, RE-<br />
MAIN in the vehicle<br />
until emergency responders<br />
arrive. Exiting<br />
a vehicle that has been contacted by a live powerline is life<br />
threatening and extremely dangerous. Reversed, DO NOT attempt<br />
to assist someone in a vehicle touched by power lines either. Remain<br />
calm and wait for the authorities!<br />
• Heavy amounts of snow and ice can bring trees and branches<br />
down onto your homes power lines causing electrically charged<br />
hazards. Inspect the trees lines surrounding your property and call<br />
your local hydro company to trim branches away from overhead<br />
power lines if you feel this might be a concern.<br />

5 Ways to Avoid Getting Ripped off at by an<br />
Auto Mechanic<br />

wrong with the car. Before going to the shop, plug a diagnostic tool<br />
such as CarMD or ScanGauge II to your vehicle’s OBD 2 port. The<br />
display will show problem codes that you can decode by using the<br />
manual comes with it. It will give you an idea about what’s wrong<br />
and if the mechanic is telling the truth about the repairs.<br />
Rely on Referrals It’s<br />
an easy way to avoid getting<br />
ripped off at by an<br />
auto mechanic. If you<br />
don’t have the time or are<br />
not willing to spend your<br />
time reading the manual<br />
or checking the engine<br />
parts, your only option is<br />
to find an honest mechanic.<br />
Referrals from friends,<br />
family, or colleagues could be the best way to find a good one. Also,<br />
all good mechanics believe in a long-term business strategy. They<br />
always try to provide a good value for money. So, if your acquaintance<br />
speaks high of someone’s service, you can trust that mechanic.<br />
