Plumbing Tips: Don't Let a Clogged Tub Ruin Your Morning Shower

Whether the water in your tub is draining at a snail's pace or not draining at all, dislodging the offending clog doesn't need to become a huge hassle. By using tools found mostly around your home, you can rid your drain of the hair, grease and debris that has slowed or stopped the tub's ability to empty. Although calling a plumber for tougher clogs is highly recommended, following the procedure provided below can save you time and money on less critical clogs.
What You Need

·         Kettle for boiling water

·         Thin wire or coat hanger

·         Plunger

·         Vinegar and baking soda

Hot Water
To begin, remove your tub's stopper. In most tubs you can simply pull the stopper out, however, you may need to unscrew it. Once detached, place the stopper off to the side in a safe location. Now head to your kitchen to boil a kettle of water. Pour the water into your drain to soften the debris clogging the pipe. Let the water sit for 15 to 20 minutes. If the clog is still present, boil a new kettle of water and try one more time.
Thin Wire or Coat Hanger
Insert either a straightened coat hanger or a piece of sturdy wire into the clogged drain. Once you reach the softened obstruction, slowly pull the wire out. Repeat this step until your pipes are mostly free of the hair, grease and debris clogging them.
Vinegar and Baking Soda
Combine 1/3 cup of undiluted white vinegar with 1/3 cup baking soda, and slowly pour the foaming liquid into your drain. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before flushing your tub drain with hot water. If the clog persists, remake the mixture and repeat the process.
The Plunger
After performing the 3 previous steps, grab your plunger and get to work. This final effort should get rid of the remaining debris. If it doesn't, you're probably dealing with a deep clog. Unfortunately, a much more invasive technique may be needed to clear the gunk out of your pipes. When this is the case, it's better to rely on a professional plumber.

Keep Children Protected With A Fence

Fencing provides you and your loved ones with a backyard oasis. For your children, a fenced in backyard is their playground. My children love to explore our home's fenced in yard and I'm very happy that my husband and I decided to have it built. With a fence, I feel that my children are now safer than before we had it. My kids love to wander and didn't understand that they couldn't explore as far as their little legs could take them. Now it is clear to them where they can and cannot play.

The Importance of Roofing Maintenance

The roof of your home serves as protection and should be taken care of. My neighbor had a shabby roof that needed a lot of work but they didn't get to it in time... there ended up being a bad storm that resulted in their roof leaking. They have since gotten their roof fixed but lost personal belongings from inside the home due to water damage.

How to Safely Grill on your Deck

Having family and friends over for a barbeque is a great way to celebrate Labor Day! Your deck is a great place to grill while surrounded by loved ones. That being said, it is important to understand the dangers of grilling on decks and the steps for avoiding any issues. Thankfully, an industry leader for decks in Fort Worth TX has helped identify some dangers.

Grilling on a wooden deck is dangerous for obvious reasons. Sparks could blow from the grill and ignited deck boards or railings. Also, if you are using a charcoal grill, charcoal can fall out of ash pans or your grill onto your deck. It is important to be constantly monitoring your grill and to keep a fire extinguisher nearby in case of emergency.
