Q: What is the difference between flushing and draining a hot water heater?

• <div><p>Draining is the process of removing sediment buildup that has accumulated at the bottom of your hot water heater&rsquo;s tank. Flushing is a more elaborate process that involves running fresh water through the tank to clean the inside thoroughly. You should at least drain your hot water heater once per year and flush it every other year&mdash;better yet, alternate between draining and flushing every six months.</p></div>

Q: How do you fix a clogged faucet head?

• <div><p>Removing calcium and lime buildup will often fix a clogged faucet head. You can usually remove any buildup with distilled white vinegar or a combination of vinegar, dish soap, and baking soda. Sometimes, the problem is buildup on the aerator, in which case removing and cleaning that part should fix your water flow. However, the design of some aerators makes them difficult to clean. For those, replacing the aerator will get the faucet flowing well again.</p></div>

Q: What is an outdoor mixer tap?

• <div><p>An outdoor mixer tap lets you run hot water to an outside kitchen or greenhouse. Mixer taps do this by mixing both hot and cold water together for varying temperatures.</p></div>

Q: How do I fix dripping misters?

• <div><p>Dripping misters are a sign that the nozzles or holes in the tubing have some problems. Try flushing your system thoroughly. If that doesn&rsquo;t help, examine each nozzle closely and clean them thoroughly with a brush, making sure the exit points are as smooth as possible. If this still doesn&rsquo;t work, you may need to take off the nozzles entirely and soak them in water with a cleaning solution for a while. This is an important step if dust, mildew, or other gunk builds up in the nozzles.</p></div>

I discovered leaking pipes in my attic and Art was out the next day to inspect the issue. He and his team fixed the leak within a few days of the initial inspection, the cost was very reasonable, and he was easy to get in touch with. I would highly recommend AG Plumbing.
