Remedy for a slow flushing toilet

Image
  When a toilet is functioning properly, the water flows quickly from the tank into the bowl and on to the sewer line when the flush handle is activated. It is important that the water flows quickly because this movement creates the suction in the line that triggers the actual flush. Sluggish flow can be caused by a problem with the flushing mechanism, restricted flow between the tank and the bowl, a blockage in the waste line, or even poor venting. You don't have to be particularly systematic in your troubleshooting; you can try the simpler remedies first. Bump the toilet with a fixture that fits into the drain opening. Plunging is easy, and if the sluggish flush is caused by a partial blockage in the drain, it can probably be cleared with a plunger. If the toilet shows other signs of clogging, such as a back-up, you should use a toilet plunger to clear the clog if the plunger doesn't work. If you hear the gurgling   sounds, it means there is not enough air in the drain...

  How to close a shower drain You can plug a shower drain to prevent sewage from flowing back into your home if your shower is located on a lower floor or in the basement. When flood waters inundate local sewers, wastewater can back up into the drain pipes, creating a smelly and potentially dangerous mess that needs to be cleaned up. By inserting a removable twist plug into the shower drain, you can create a watertight seal that prevents sewage backflow, and remove the plug once the threat has passed and you can use your shower as usual. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws that secure the shower cover to the shower drain. Remove the shower drain cover. Measure the diameter of your shower drain with a tape measure. Use this measurement to purchase the correct size swivel plug for your shower. Insert the bottom of the swivel plug into the shower drain as far as it will go. Turn the wing nut on the top of the plug until it is hand-tight. Using an adjustable wrench, turn ...
