Plumbing -- Hints And / Or Tips
drain leak loves to save money. When you can do a plumbing repair or install on your own, you will certainly save some money by not paying a professional to come to your house and do it. If the job is small and simple, than kudos to you for trying something new and succeeding around the house.

water line repair The location of a plumbing contractor is a key factor. This is because he or she will not only charge you an hourly rate, but travel costs will also be charged. This can add a significant amount to the final bill if the contractor has to travel from the other side of town.
The con to time well spent is only if the fix or installation works. Suddenly, when a pipe is squirting water or the dishwasher is leaking all over the floor, that time seems wasted instead of well spent. Now your time is wasted, plus you have to pay for a professional plumber to come over and fix the mess. That time could have been spent doing something else, like golfing or swimming or gardening.
water line repair The wax ring is used to seal the drain outlet on the bottom of the toilet to the drain opening in the floor. When a toilet is installed, the ring is placed onto the drain... the toilet is dropped onto the ring... and the toilet bolts (also known as closet bolts) are tightened enough to lock the toilet in place. If that wax gasket ring starts to fail or isn't seated properly? Sewer gasses can sneak out from under your toilet causing your bathroom to have that suspicious smell. It can also cause water to escape, sometimes invisibly, with each flush potentially damaging the floor hidden under the toilet.
Next check your toilet, is it running? Look in the tank and verify the water is below the over flow value. Put a little food coloring in the tank and let it sit for at least an hour. After an hour check the toilet bowl, is the water colored, if so the tank is leaking into the bowl. That could be the leak.
