The plumbers at The Sunny Plumber realize that there are many different plumbing problems that can spring up in the average home. Some plumbing problems are more common than others, and some of the most common plumbing problems are also quite easy, and inexpensive, to fix. Here are two scenarios where clients may want to use their DIY plumbing skills:

1.  Slow Draining Sink : A sink that is draining slowly is very common in homes everywhere. Often the pop-up that is used to stop up the sink collects hair and debris. To help the drain to again flow smoothly, the debris needs to be cleaned out. One simple way to do this is to use the Zip-it, a handy plumbing tool, to clean out the drain. Another option is to remove the pop-up and clean it out. Most pop-ups are held in place with a nut attached to the drain just under the sink and can be unscrewed by hand or with pliers. Once the nut is removed the pop up can be cleaned and then reinstalled.

2.  Low Water Pressure : Low water pressure usually is most obvious at the sink faucet. The first thing to check is if the low water pressure is affecting both the hot and cold water. If both the hot and cold have low pressure, the most likely cause is the aerator. Calcium deposits slowly build up in the faucet aerator and reduce the water pressure. A blocked aerator is a very easy thing to fix. To clean out a faucet aerator carefully remove the aerator, clean out any debris and build up on it and put it back on.
