Plumbing DIY

Do It Yourself:

(jollymom.com)

Use salt, baking soda and vinegar to clean out plumbing and sewer drains. Water use can leave calcium, lime, mineral and rust deposits inside of drains and plumbing pipes. Hair, food and other debris also clog pipes and drains. Use vinegar to remove lime, calcium and rust and to disinfect the drain. Salt and baking soda scrub the insides of the drains and pipes. Baking soda also helps with bad odors. These three materials are safe on plumbing and for pets and children.

Plumber Mckinney, Texas

Plumbing Fun Facts:

The word "plumbing" comes from the Latin plumbum for lead, as pipes were once made from lead.
The use of lead for potable water declined sharply after World War II because of increased awareness of the dangers of lead poisoning. At this time, copper piping was introduced as a better and safer alternative to lead pipes.^[3]

Regulations:
Much of the plumbing work in populated areas is regulated by government or quasi-government agencies due to the direct impact on the public's health, safety, and welfare. Plumbing installation and repair work on residences and other buildings generally must be done according to plumbing and building codes to protect the inhabitants of the buildings and to ensure safe, quality construction to future buyers. If permits are required for work, plumbing contractors typically secure them from the authorities on behalf of home or building owners.

Plumbing Funnies :)

Plumbing Funnies:
A local doctor called a plumber out in the middle of the night because one of his toilets was blocked.
He insisted that it was urgent and that they attend immediately. Upon arrival they lifted the toilet lid, threw in two aspirins, and said ‘If it’s still there in the morning, give us another ring.’

Q & A

Q: What did people use before Toilet Paper was invented?

A:  A scraper.  This was mussel shell used to "scrape" you clean. Corncobs were often used in the southern U.S.  The Romans used a stick with a sponge on one, hence the phrase; " the wrong end of the stick".
