  Welcome to the wide world of plumbing. There is a dizzying array of fixtures and plumbing methods to learn about. Dealing with plumbing tends to be a personal kind of home improvement, which is why it is important that you figure out which methods are best for you. The following article provides you with some great suggestions to help you out as you tackle plumbing projects.
  
  Buying plumbing tools will cost you some money initially, but it will save you a lot in the long run. Just Google the repair you need, and you are sure to find a helpful video to explain how to do it. If you have gotten professional tools, you can avoid calling professional plumbers for minor plumbing problems you can fix yourself.
  
  If your home uses well water and orange or pink stains become noticeable in your bathtub or in other fixtures, this occurs when the water has too much iron. Luckily, you can quickly fix this by adding some water softener to your supply. You can pick up this product at a lot of stores, or have it shipped out to you.
  
  As you prepare your home for winter, it is a perfect time to have your water heater tank serviced and checked out. You will be able to save on household bills in the winter. This is because of your improvements on your hot water tank.
  
  If you plumb professionally, consider hiring an apprentice to work under you, since there are always plenty of up and coming plumbers looking for work. You can help a younger or newer plumber learn the trade thoroughly, while saving yourself some money as you don't have to pay an apprentice a full salary while he's learning.
  
  If your washing machine's drain pipe backs up, the first step is to snake it with a regular pipe snake. Lint can transfer from a washing machine to the pipes and clog them.
  
  Installing more efficient shower heads can save you tons of money on your energy bill. Showers and baths are responsible for the bulk of your hot water usage. By installing energy-efficient shower heads for a few extra dollars, you can save up to $100 or more a year per shower head in your house.
  
  If your toilet will not flush, and there is very little water in the basin, try to fix the issue by dumping warm water in the bowl from around your waist line. This procedure can be repeated if the water level again returns to a level that is too low.
  
  If your plumbing system is wearing out, then you need to buy new parts to get it back up to speed. There are methods of fixing up plumbing, but they may not always be permanent solutions. Get a new part and fix that problem correctly.
  
  Never reach into a garbage disposal that you think isn't working. Garbage disposals are dangerous, even when turned off. Locate a diagram of the garbage disposal, or some sort of troubleshooter, online.
  
  You can prevent your pipes from freezing by applying continual heat to any exposed pipes. It does not take long for pipes to freeze in cold winter weather. Realize that pipes within the house can also freeze, especially if part of them runs outside. Ensure you have a heating lamp or a type of tiny heater on the pipes to maintain water flow.
  
  Now that you have the advice in hand, you can get going on taking care of your own plumbing needs. Hopefully, this article had some ideas you can use. If you cannot fix something, look for more information or consider calling a professional.
