Water Damage Prevention
Most homeowners’ policies cover damage from accidents and failures,
such as damage from a burst pipe. What is not usually covered is
damage caused by a lack of ongoing maintenance. Most water damage
claims start with a simple leak or drip and can be prevented.

Quick Ways To Clean A Drain!
One simple method for clearing small clogs is to use a
tried-and-true combination of baking soda and vinegar. Empty
one-half cup baking soda down the drain, followed by one-half cup
white vinegar. Cover the drain and let mixture stand for a few
minutes. Then pour a pot of boiling water down the drain. The baking
soda and vinegar dissolve fatty acids, allowing the clog to wash
down the drain.

Quick Fixes
For a quick fix on copper pipe, small leaks, keep
handy an easy repair kit. All that is needed is a hose clamp and a small piece
of firm rubber, such as small section of garden hose. Simply insert the rubber
around the leak and clamp. It will save you from having to drain the system,
until you have more time on your hands. The clamp and rubber section of hose
helped me out of a few jams, especially if you don't have copper or solder on
hand at the cabin, it could save the weekend! Remember: clamp and rubber, plus
screwdriver.
