Three Wins, One Big Warning

Three DIYs a homeowner can do right now. Making sure their faucets are covered and then insulated properly. Going outside, making sure that their whole home shut off valve is working. Number three, if you have a clog issue, taking a plunger to it. You know, most people think plungers are just for toilets. Not necessarily. Say your shower's clogged, you could take a plunger to your shower and actually clear a stoppage there as well. Say you have a clogged toilet, the plunger is just not getting it. You can go to Home Depot, get a closet auger, you know, run it yourself. You're not a professional. You might scratch up your toilet a little bit, but that's okay. It's gonna start flushing again. Really? Absolutely. These are simple things you can do to save yourself from having to call a plumber. A few things I would recommend is you got a brand new faucet on Amazon. You want to replace it, right? I would not recommend, as a professional, shutting off super old multi-turn angle stops. They're notorious for leaking. So instead, call a professional to do it for you. Really? Absolutely.
