Prevent Expensive Plumbing Problems
By: Ivanhoe Newswire SEATTLE -- Mother Nature should be the least of your worries when it comes to flooding. Things around the home are much more likely to wreak havoc. Only 8 percent of water damage claims are weather-related, according to insurance companies. Appliance failures are to blame for 30 percent, and faulty plumbing systems are to blame for 60 percent. "A lot of leaks under your sink or toilet are caused from a nut being too loose," said Zan Scommodau, a plumber from Seattle. “I’ve been paid good money just to tighten a little nut.” It usually costs $5,000 to fix the average plumbing problem, but you don’t have to be a plumber to prevent the problems from happening in the first place.Start by tightening the nuts on the valves of your sinks and toilets. Then replace rubber or plastic hoses with metal-braided ones that cost about $10 each. --more-- |
