If you’ve got a few small problems with your plumbing, you don’t need to call a plumber. Rite-Rate knows that despite the claim from most large companies who only want to make a dime, there are some things that can be done on your own. Plus, keeping up with the maintenance and working on understanding your pipes is a great way to ensure that your home or office remains in good health. So, we’ve gathered up a few things that you can do to fix up small problems without calling in the big guns.

1. If you’ve ever had a leaky faucet, you know how easily it can drive a person insane. There was even a torture in ancient Chinese warfare that included a steady drip, right on the center of a person’s forehead, until they went mad. Clearly, this is something that is a problem – but it might not need a plumber right away. Try tying a piece of string or yarn over the faucet, making certain it goes over the mouth, and lead it down to the drain. The water will cling to the string and head down the drain without a sound.
2. Another annoying sound can be creaking pipes – but these have a relatively easy fix, too! By taking some adhesive backed Velcro and attaching it to the pipes in strategic places, it can keep your pipes from creaking. Wonderful!

If your problems are easily fixed with some hacks, then by all means use them. You can keep your home and office up to date with some easy quick fixes and help keep the budget down. However, if your pipes and plumbing needs a more professional eye, Rite-Rate is the perfect place to call!
