Freezing Weather Tips

As winter draws near we brace ourselves for plummeting temperatures and soaring heating costs. Past the higher utility bills cold weather can also bring additional expenses by means of frozen pipes and broken heating units. Following are five simple suggestions for insulating your bank account against cold weather costs.

Prepare Outside Taps

Protect exterior taps by leavin them dry so they dont develop cracks.. Detach all exterior garden hoses and insulate the faucet against frosty temperatures. Also make sure to insulate any exterior pipes that are exposed. Cover the faucet and exposed pipes with insulating material like plumbing wrap to surround it.

Protect Exposed Pipes in Utility Spaces

Home owners often ignore safe guarding pipes in crawl spaces like the attic or basement; but these are generally also prone to freezing in extreme weather. You should protect these spaces from drafts whenever possible and dont forget to insulate the pipes in these locations as well.

Toilet Maintenance

Fixing a leaky toilet is not hard once you get the basics. One thing to fixing any problem is to find what is creating it. And to try this we learn the basics of how a toilet works.

The two major components in a toilet bowl are the flapper and the float. The flapper is the big rubber stopper at the lower end of the tank that drops down to seal the drain hole 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 over time and need to get replaced once in a while and flappers lose their rubber uniformity over time affecting the seal needing to get replaced when that happens. Youll know when its time because it will be apparent what is going on when the time comes.

If you choose to fix the toilet or protect the pipes yourself we propose you gather the following. Tools youll want to repair most plumbing matters can be bought in your local hardware store. A few of the items you should have include:

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

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