Plumbing Advice For Your Home Or Business

1. Usually when confronted with a dripping or leaky tap, a person’s initial response is try and fix it themselves .

3. In many cases this causes a lot more harm than good.
4. Applying too much force can cause it to sheer off, snap or burst completely.
5. If your taps are indeed dripping or leaking it is recommended, that you seek out assistance from a professional plumber instead of going down the ‘DIY’ route. Or like some people that put there head in the sand.

Shower Head Racks Be Careful
