Plumbing issues always seem to happen at the worst possible time. Your sink may clog right before a big party or a pipe may burst while you are out of town. Whatever the issue, you need it to be fixed as quickly as possible, especially if your home in Powder Springs was the victim of cheap plumbing work. While you wait for a plumber to come to your rescue, here are some things you can do to minimize the situation. - Turn off the water – If you have a leak, it’s important to turn off the water quickly to prevent damage to your home. Depending on where the leak is, you may only have to turn off a valve under the sink or toilet. However, if a pipe is leaking, you may need to turn off the water to your entire home. Normally, the master valve will be located in your basement, close to where the pipe comes through the wall into your home. Turn it clockwise to turn off the water.
- Use a plunger – If a drain is clogged, you might try using a plunger. Plungers work great on the toilet and can sometimes clear clogs in sink drains as well. Be mindful of how much pressure you use on the sink as they can be damaged if you use too much force with the plunger.
- Liquid drain cleaner – Use caution when using drain cleaner on a clog. If it doesn’t work to clear the clog, it will remain in your drain and could damage it. Also, if you did try cleaner, be sure to tell your plumber so he can take the steps necessary to protect himself.
Dealing with cheap plumbing in Powder Springs can cause you a lot of stress. However, using a plumber that is both affordable and professional can remove all of that stress and help your home and life get back to normal.
