Winter Weather Tips

As cold weather draws near we get ready for plummeting temperatures and soaring heating costs. Past the higher utility bills winter also can bring unexpected expenses in the form of burst pipes and heating units that quit working. Here are five simple suggestions for protecting your bank account against winter costs.

Protect The Outside Faucets

Prevent exterior pipes from breaking by protecting your outside faucets. Detach all exterior garden hoses and insulate the faucet against freezing weather. Also be sure you insulate any exterior pipes that are exposed. Cover the faucet and exposed pipes with insulating material like plumbing wrap to surround it.

Insulate Exposed Pipes in Crawl Spaces

Homeowners often forget about protecting pipes in crawl spaces such as the attic or basement; however these are generally also prone to freezing in severe weather. You should protect these spaces from drafts as much as possible and remember to protect your pipes in these areas as well.

Toilet Tips

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

The two main components in a toilet bowl would be the flapper and the float. The flapper is the large rubber stopper at the lower end 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 so shuts off the water flow when it gets high enough.

These two components are the most typical things to exchange and should be well known to almost everyone living on their own . Floats are likely to spring a leak over time and need to get replaced on occasion and flappers lose their rubber structure as time passes affecting the seal needing to get replaced when that takes place. Youll know when its time because it will be apparent whats going on when the time comes.

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 want to fix most plumbing issues can be purchased in the local hardware store. Some of the items youll want to have include:

• Rubber gloves
• A plunger
• Plumbing snake
• Plumbing putty
• A regular 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 sizable collection that will come come in useful for things like clearing a slow 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 should you handle them yourself.
