Cómo ahorrar dinero en un fontanero

Una forma de ahorrar dinero en la plomería es reducir la necesidad de llamar a un plomero en absoluto. El mayor problema de plomería para la mayoría de gente tiene es el drenaje relacionados. Esto generalmente no requiere un plomero, aunque un amigo plomero puede ser útil. Los drenajes se tapan debido a la acumulación de grasa. los residuos de jabón y el pelo se combinan y se acumulan para formar una especie de placa dentro de las tuberías. Algo así como el colesterol en las arterias. La mejor manera de eliminar esta suciedad es con un émbolo o una serpiente, que usted puede conseguir en una ferretería o centro de origen. Trate de no poner los productos químicos en el drenaje. Úselos sólo como un último recurso. Cuando y si se borra la fuga, manténgala libre vertiendo agua hirviendo con un poco de detergente una vez al mes. Puesto que el pelo es un gran culpable en desagües tapados, puede dejar de drenajes tapados antes de empezar colocando un colector de pelo sobre la boca del desagüe. Levante el pelo después de ducharse y decir adiós a la bañera y el lavabo atascado los desagües. Si usted vive en la zona templada, las tuberías de agua puede estar en peligro de congelación, que no es una buena cosa. Usted puede evitar que esto ocurra y mantener el fontanero de distancia tomando algunas medidas preventivas. Asegúrese de que todas las tuberías se encuentran en espacios calientes. Cualquier que no deben estar bien aislados. Cuando el clima se vuelve más frío en el otoño, desconecte y fuga de las mangueras de jardín, desvío de la válvula cubierta de cierre cerca de la llave, y abra la llave de agua al aire libre. Si usted no tiene un cierre, válvula, considere la instalación de una. El agua que queda en las tuberías expuestas a temperaturas bajo cero se congela, y provocar sus tuberías a punto de estallar.
