Emergency Tips
Generally speaking, plumbing problems are never pleasant, and as such can often cut off your household or office. So, if you have at least faced a single major plumbing issue, then you will be able to understand how important it is to get the problem fixed as soon as possible. Thereupon, here are few emergency tips that you can take the use of in case you find yourself in an unpleasant situation:
- First and foremost, you will have to know where the location of the main water shut-off valve is;
- The second thing that you will have to do is to stay completely aware of the situation- by that, I want to emphasize the importance of getting the plumbing problem fixed as soon as possible.
- Next, you will have to stop the flow of the water in the isolation valves- these are located at each fixture,
- In case you have to unclog a toilet- you can use a forced cup plunger;
- On the other hand, if you have to unclog a kitchen sink- you can use a plunger with the aim to cover the other drain for the purpose of allowing the wrench to absorb the stress;
- Yet, there are the bathtub clogs too. If you face this type of situation, you will have to put the plunger on the drain, and use the second plunger to plug up the tub’s overflow;
- If it happens that you are experiencing a supply tube break off caused by a leak- then you will have to screw in a blind cap to seal off the leak until it can be fixed;
- Last, but not least, the easiest way to reduce the leak as a temporary solution is to use a duct tape or pipe sealing tape to pull together a crack in a pipe;
Conclusion
You can never predict what kind of emergency situation might pop up unexpectedly around your house or in the office. Therefore, it is always the best to build yourself a plumbing toolkit with the essentials, and keep it around if it happens that you have the need of it.
