Everything Including the Kitchen Sink.

You don’t know everything about plumbing, but your friends at Poor John’s Plumbing in Kansas City want you to be aware of some common problems.  One thing we will probably all experience at one time or another is a leaky faucet.  In the summer especially, sinks get used more and before you know it a leaks develops.

1.  Check pipes periodically before a puddle develops potentially ruining valuables

2.  Peek under your sink for any leaking

3.  Radiators need to have an open valve - when water condenses it should drain back

4.  If your water heater is leaking it probably is on the “near death list”

5.  If water is leaking from a shower it is probably a defective washer or seat

6.  An old mechanical faucet may be tough to get parts for…consider replacing it

Working Toilets.

What appliance in your home do you suppose you use most often?  Is it the refrigerator, your television, the microwave?  Try going all day without using the toilet.  On second thought, don’t try that.  We take our toilet(s) for granted.  I mean they sit there until WE are ready to sit there.  We flush them and expect everything to disappear every time.

Here are some toilet troubleshooting topics…

1.)        It simply will not flush

2.)        The flush has slowed to a crawl

3.)        It’s overflowing…yikes!

4.)        The water runs constantly

5.)        The flapper closes too soon

6.)        Water is leaking from somewhere around the bowl

There are others, of course.  Unless you are a trained plumber, what do you think you’re doing with that wrench in your hand?  Call a professional today.  In the Kansas City area, Poor John’s Plumbing is your toilet repair and replacement choice.  We even have “John” in our name!  Please visit our website at www.poorjohns.com and call the phone number closest to you.
