Flooded Toilet?
Watching water rise
to the top edge of a
toilet bowl is
disconcerting to say
the least. But in
most cases the water
will stop running
before overflowing.
Many toilet bowls
are designed in such
a way that they will
usually hold the
entire contents of
the tank without
overflowing. But
that's only IF the
water level in the
bowl was at its
normal height before
the toilet was
flushed, and the
ballcock and flapper
are working properly
and shut off when
the tank is full.
Unfortunately, when
a toilet bowl is
clogged and the
water level rises
and doesn't flush
the contents away,
some people are too
hasty and will flush
the toilet again
hoping the
additional water
will 'push' the
contents of the bowl
down. This only
causes a toilet bowl
to overflow. SO,
warn all members of
your household, that
when the water level
in a toilet bowl is
higher than normal -
DO NOT FLUSH IT
AGAIN. You must wait
until the water
level drops to
normal. If it
doesn't drop to
normal, then you
need to find out
what is blocking the
bowl. But under no
circumstances should
you flush again.

Leaking Pipes?
The average house
will be equipped
with what are known
as compression
faucets. These get
their name from the
fact that a soft
rubber or fibre
washer inside of
them is compressed
down when you turn
the handle, and
blocks off the
orifice or hole
through which the
water passes.
Continued use wears
the washer away or
distorts it so that
it does not
completely close the
orifice, whereupon
you have a dripping
faucet or one that
runs continuously.
Faucets usually leak
because of old
gaskets or o-rings
and corroded valve
seats.

Shower Damage?
Tired of that leaky,
single stream shower
head left over from
the 1970s? Shower
heads can experience
lime buildup that
affects water flow,
and older
shower heads may not be up to current low-flow guidelines.
There may be a problem further down the line that is
preventing proper pressure from reaching your shower pipes.
Wet Basements
Did you know that
basement leaks are
the
number-one major
complaint
from new home
owners. The
notable areas are
cracks, form tie
holes, and
honeycombing.
