If your water pressure is low, check faucet aerators and showerheads for mineral buildup. Soaking them in vinegar can help clear blockages. Also, inspect under sinks for leaks or partially closed shut-off valves. If pressure remains low throughout the house, there may be a bigger issue requiring professional help.
A slow drain is often caused by soap, grease, or debris buildup. Avoid using chemicals as it may cause more harm than good because you don’t know the cause of the blockage. Garbage disposal blockage is due to food, chemicals don’t work on this. Hair, soap scum or objects lodged in a drain will cause slow to no draining. We don’t recommend chemicals for multiple reasons: the blockage is too far down the pipe, if it is an object, chemicals would not work, chemicals are bad for pipes especially old pipes which could cause pipes to leak causing more damage. In addition, chemicals are bad for the environment.
A running toilet can waste a lot of water, which is the leading cause of high water bills. Open the tank and check if the flapper is sealing properly. If it’s worn or misaligned, replace it. Also, inspect the fill valve for leaks or improper water levels. If these quick fixes don’t work, a faulty internal part may need professional repair.
