In an effort to lend a helping hand to these ingenuitive amateurs Parker & Sons offers a few helpful home maintenance tips.
Checking air filters each month is an absolute must for homeowners who are making use of their air conditioning and heating systems. A dirty filter will cause undue wear and tear on a system. Replace dirty filters, or if using reusable ones clean them monthly. Be careful on the ladder though! Slips and falls while performing home maintenance accounts for thousands of injuries every year.
Clearing clogs in a kitchen sink can be a quick and easy job. Most kitchen sinks have something called a P-trap underneath them. This is a U shaped bend in the pipe. This P-trap can be removed by unscrewing nuts on both ends of the U. Homeowners should make sure they have placed a bucket or similar receptacle below the P-trap before they remove it. Filth and debris can get caught in the P-trap. A DIY handyman can remove any potential obstacles and return the P-trap to its rightful spot underneath the sink. Now they should have some smoothly running pipes!
Showers which seem to be under the effects of low water pressure may just be slightly clogged. A homeowner can remove the showerhead and clean the outlet holes with a pin or toothpick. For more stubborn clogs they can remove the faceplate and soak the entire unit overnight in vinegar. Make sure to clean that showerhead again before use. No one wants a vinegar shower!
When winter finally comes and homeowners are ready to start their furnaces they should first check their ventilation systems. If dirt or debris is blocking the system it may not function at peak efficiency.
There we go. By reading a few short paragraphs homeowners across Phoenix can start styling themselves as home service professionals. If they pass a few rigorous technical certifications and put in a couple hundred hours of on-site training they may be ready for employment at Parker & Sons.
