Must Have Plumbing Tools Every Homeowner Should Have

As a homeowner, you want to keep your home flowing and protect your investment when it comes to plumbing. That’s why it’s important to have some simple and affordable plumbing tools on hand if you want to try to resolve some minor plumbing problems yourself.

Some of the Most Useful Plumbing Tools for Easy Fixes:

There should be some plumbing tools that each homeowner should have with him/her to deal with most of the basic plumbing emergencies and stop and seek help from professional plumbers. Anyone who has experienced a blocked toilet knows that a good plunger is very important while an adjustable wrench is ideal for tightening/ loosening plumbing such as nuts of fixtures. A pipe wrench is another essential tool because the job of modifying pipes and fittings requires the grip and leverage of this type of wrench.

Products Used in Leakless and Tight Fittings:

Further, you must have plumber’s tape, also known as Teflon tape, especially when you want to get pipes with threading fixed to avoid leakage. Another important tool referred to as a tongue and groove plier is also important for gripping twisting and tightening some plumbing parts. These handy items guarantee you can safely join and control fittings without straining yourself.

Cleaning Utensils for Drains and Specialized Wrenches:

This is used in clearing blocked drains which a plunging machine is unable to do by pulling a clog through the drain. They should also have a basin wrench for under-tile nut tightening under sinks and a utility knife that will help in cutting sealants and plastic pipes among others. They might be useful in fixing some of everyday plumbing problems and spare you the extra bill from a plumber. Find us on Google Map
