Re: [DIY] Help with plumbing????

 

Before you panic, or need a divorce attorney, remove the little aerators at each of your faucets and check for crud.  Open the faucet with the aerator off to flush out that section of the pipes.  The aerator is that little gadget that screws onto the faucet right where the water comes out.

My dh & a friend changed fittings on our hot water heater (it's located
in a small closet in our front bedroom - the old ones were getting a
little rusty & dh didn't want to take a chance of something happening -
fittings were tight so he tapped on them, put WD forty on them & finally
changed everything - the problem now is we can barely get hot water
to the two bathrooms & the kitchen - he doesn't know if when tapping the fittings some corrosion fell in the pipe & causing tha problem or
not - they thought of taking the water tank out, cutting the sheet
rock wall behind it out & then what - like a woman I suggested getting
a plumber but his reply was "what can he do that I can't?" Mine was
"maybe he knows what to do or has a tool" - we have terrazzo floors
all over except bedrooms, on a cement slab, so if we have to change
pipes I don't know what we'll have to do -
Any suggestions from all the DIY people out there? TIA Joyce in La.
