When you are working on your plumbing, there is a lot that can go wrong. Some of these are simple and straightforward problems, but many others are much more complicated. Knowing more about plumbing will make it easier to fix any problem quickly with minimal effort.

To keep your pipes from getting frozen, always maintain a temperature in the house above freezing and make sure all pipes exposed to outside elements are insulated properly. Pipes can freeze when the ambient temperature in the area of the pipes dips below freezing. Even in the best case scenario, it will take hours for thawing to happen before you have running water again. However, frozen pipes commonly break or crack pipes, leading to flooding and costly repairs.

Wait until a job is done before you pay for it. In some cases, you have to make a down payment prior to the first day of work. This is okay to do; however, don't let your plumber talk you into paying the entire cost of a job before he's finished, and never pay the whole cost before he's even begun. Knowing that the plumber performed all services, as promised, can be good for your peace of mind and your wallet.

If your toilet gets clogged, there is a low level of water in toilet, and the plunger is not working, you may fix the problem by dumping warm water from a bucket into your toilet from about waist level. Once the water level is low again, you may repeated this procedure.

If your toilet will not flush, and there is very little water in the basin, try to fix the issue by dumping warm water in the bowl from around your waist line. Once the water is lower, do this again.

An enzyme based cleaner is an excellent way of unblocking clogged pipes. These cleaners use natural bacteria to turn the sludge into a liquid, and remove it from your pipes. Enzyme cleaners should be your first choice.
