Being diligent about caring for all the working mechanical systems all the time and you’ll see you’re adding to the functional life of each for several years.
Maintenance of Showerheads and Sink Faucet Screens
Keep your home’s showerhead nozzle clean to prevent the build up of bacteria and minerals. To clean your home’s showerhead, use the do-it-yourself plumbing strategy of setting up a plastic bag full of vinegar over the showerhead, held in place with a rubber band. Soak it for 12 hours or so. This method should do the trick in eliminating bacteria and mineral build up. If the showerhead can be removed without any trouble (use big channel lock pliers for the job. Soak it in water and then use gloves, cleanser and tooth picks to remove mineral build-up clogging the showerhead spray holes. If this technique does not work, buy a new showerhead, complete with plumbers tape so when you screw onto the shower nozzle it does not leak.
Clogged Drain Solutions
Plumbing strategies provided here for homeowners must include fixing a clogged drain. The key to unclogging a kitchen sink or bathroom sink is to place something like a drain plug over the second basin drain or bathroom sink overflow hole at the same time you’re using a plunger. It blocks the air flow from going back out the other sink drain or bathroom sink overflow hole, which in turn forces the air to force out the blockage down and out of the drain. This technique works most of the time.
