Hello Everyone:

I am Realtor in Delaware County Pa. I am also a Master Plumber . This is the time of year I try to remind family , friends and clients to do a little house keeping on their own plumbing system to help maintain that things are in working order and no surprises can catch them when they have trouble with there plumbing.

1) One thing no one thinks of is the valves in there home until they need to shut down the domestic water due to a leak or a minor repair. Valves need to be exercised a few times ayear. Just like our own bodies if we don't exercise we get tight and stiff and don't work as well. So a few times a year slowly open and close the valve just to keep it loose and free of debris. If the valve can not shut do not force it, it may be time to have it repaired or a new one installed. If you keep the valves exercised in time of need you will be happy that they work.

2) Another thing I would suggest is to flush your water heater. By shutting off the incoming water to the water heater and attaching a hose to the drain valve at the bottom of ther water heater you can flush out the settlement that has collected in the years time. Buy doing this you can save money your no longer have to heat through the settlement in the bottom of the water heater tank to start to heat the water with in the tank . It is a money saver in 2 ways you no longer waste money heating your water and it keep the tank clean.

3) Simple task put food coloring in the toilet tank let it sit for a hour or so and then look in the bowl. If you see the food coloring in the bowl your tank is losing water . Yor flapper may need to be changed in the tank very simple job and a flapper for most toilets run less then ten dollars.

There are alot of small things a home owner can do to look after your plumbing system. If you do not feel comfortable doing the task your self call a local plumber and I'm sure they be glad to help you .

Hello everyone:

I have been supporting the local teams but i would like to extend this offer to others that could be interested in helping out our local students at Ridley High.
