Freezing Weather Tips

As cold weather draws near we brace ourselves for colder weather and higher heating costs. Beyond the higher energy costs winter also can bring unexpected expenses by means of frozen pipes and broken heating units. Here are five simple suggestions for insulating your budget against cold weather expenditure.

Prepare Outside Taps

Prevent exterior pipes from breaking by protecting your outside faucets. Detach all exterior garden hoses and insulate the faucet against freezing temperatures. Also make sure to insulate any exterior pipes that are exposed. Wrap the tap and pipes with insulation such as plumbing wrap to surround it.

Protect Exposed Pipes in Crawl Spaces

Home owners often forget about safe guarding plumbing in utility spaces like the attic or basement; but these are also susceptible to freezing in severe weather. You should protect these places from drafts whenever possible and remember to protect the pipes in these areas as well.

Toilet Maintenance

To fix a leaking toilet is not hard when you get the basics. One thing to fixing any problem is to seek out what is creating it. And to try this we learn the fundamentals of exactly how a toilet works.

The two main components in a toilet bowl are the flapper and the float. The flapper is the large rubber stopper on the bottom of the tank that drops right down to seal the drain at the bottom when you flush. The float is the arm that floats up as the water rises in the tank and thus shuts off the flow of water when it reaches the top.

Both of these components are the most common things to exchange and should be well known for anyone living on their own . Floats tend to spring a leak as time passes and need to get replaced on occasion and flappers lose their rubber structure over time affecting the seal needing to get replaced when that happens. Youll certainly know when its time since it will be obvious what is going on when the time arrives.

If you choose to fix the toilet or do some work around the house to protect the pipes we suggest you use the following accessories. Tools youll need to repair most plumbing problems can be purchased in your local hardware store. Some of the items youll want to have include:

• Rubber gloves
• A plunger
• Plumbing snake
• Plumbing putty
• A flathead as well as a phillips screwdriver
• Simple cleaning products such as lemon juice and baking soda
• Pliers
• Adjustable pipe wrench

As you gather these tools as time passes you will soon have a decent collection that will come in handy for things like clearing a sluggish drain plunging the toilet and pulling a hair clog from the shower drain. Simple tasks like this will save you quite a bit in plumbing fees if you take care of them yourself.
