Two of the Best Tricks and Tips for Repairing Your Home
Today’s homeowners are living in a golden age of information. Every possible home project and repair has an online video tutorial and step-by-step guide. Now, more than ever before, you’re empowered to take on your home’s maintenance and repairs. In this article, we’ll review two of the best home repair tricks and tips out there, along with a few things you should know about an expert who works in your home.
Shower Drain Clogs
Unsurprisingly, many shower drain clogs are caused by trapped hair. This requires a different approach, but it’s still something you can do at home. Take a metal hanger and use pliers to reshape it into a long rod with a hook at the bottom. This will serve as your homemade, DIY snake tool. Carefully remove the drain cover and feed your hanger into the drain, twisting it as you go. You should be able to use the hook to pull out trapped hair. Just be sure to wear some dishwashing gloves while doing this โ it can get pretty gross!
Kitchen Sink Clogs
Even if your garbage disposal is working right, avoid using your kitchen sink as a trash can. While your disposal helps break down what’s left on your dishes after dinner, your sink isn’t the best way to get rid of all food waste. In fact, certain types of waste โ such as coffee grounds, grease, uncooked rice, and flour โ can easily clog your sink drain or your sewer line. If your kitchen sink has clogged, start with an approach. Prepare equal parts baking soda and vinegar. In quick succession, put each down the drain. The chemical reaction of this base and acid will help loosen up or dissolve the clog.
