Home Plumbing Checklist

Check the plumbing in your home.  Of course you will not be able to check all plumbing. But you can  check and clean aerators for faucets and bathtubs and shower heads  while your checking the aerators you can also check that all fixtures are working properly and that there is no leaks, no slow drains, clogs and odor.  The same for the toilet and toilet tank and that all parts are working properly.  Basically you can check anything that is exposed and visual.  Unfortunately there will be things that you cannot see until it is a problem.  Another thing to be aware of is your water bill if it gets unusually high it is possible there may be a leak somewhere.

Next, our Smartplumber Joey had to excavate a 1-foot hole beneath the stone tile directly above the heat source was and where the hissing sound was detected. Hey, presto! Sure enough, there was a corroded hairline crack in the 3/4" copper piping directly below.  Joey, then went on to patch the copper piping with a soldering copper patch. (These copper patches are proven to ...
Any housing unit has INADEQUATE PLUMBING if it lacks one of the following: hot or piped WATER, BATH TUB or SHOWER, flush TOILET. For most Californians, handwashing is a matter of turning on their home faucet. And while it is no substitute for other guidelines, handwashing is a SURPRISINGLY effective model or methodology against Coronavirus SARS 2/COVID 19. Unfortunately, not everyone can implement this public health guidance. The state’s HOMELESS POPULATION has difficulties, and so do residents with INADEQUATE PLUMBING.

In more than 6,300 housing units in California, people lack adequate plumbing, meaning they have no piped hot and cold water, no bathtub or shower, AND/OR no flush toilet. Californians across the state live in units with inadequate plumbing, including in COUNTIES MONITORED for coronavirus spikes due to worsening virus...
