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 />

using floss and mouth rinse everyday is even better for your dental<br />

health. Ask an affordable dentist about the right tools for you.<br />

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

Auto Mechanic<br />

Learn the Basics It’s easier for a shady mechanic to scam a customer<br />

if s/he does not know anything about the engine mechanism<br />

and car parts. If you want to protect your wallet, start learning. Just<br />

spend a couple of hours with the owner’s manual and familiarize<br />

yourself with the components under the hood.<br />

Use a Diagnostic Tool It’s an easier way to find out what’s<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 />
