Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts
To file a claim against a plumber, you’ll need to contact their liability insurance company. You can ask your plumber for information about their insurer, or you can refer to the documentation you collected before you hired them. Let the company know you need to file a claim, and they’ll provide you with the next steps. Alternatively, you can ask your homeowner’s insurance company to help you file.
You can adjust the mixing valve on your shower if it uses a single handle to control both hot and cold water by removing the handle and adjusting the cap on the mixing valve. The cap fits over the valve handle and creates a low and high point for your handle to spin. Remove the cap and turn it to adjust how it mixes hot and cold water, and then replace the cap and reinstall the handle.
You can tell if your toilet fill valve is full by removing the lid and taking a look. When you flush the toilet, the float is at the bottom of the tank, the water empties, and the fill valve opens. The float rises to the top as the tank fills again with water. When the float rises to the right level, the fill valve closes; if the valve is too high, your toilet may only partially flush, requiring you to adjust the float.
To measure pipe size, you can use a ruler, a soft tape measure, or a caliper. You can find a special pipe caliper that has iron or copper pipe sizes already marked. Rulers work if the end of the pipe is exposed. If your pipe is still attached to the plumbing, you’ll need to go for a soft tape measure or caliper.
Sometimes a leaky faucet is simply the fault of a washer gone bad. Follow these steps to change the washer:
