Slower Water Pressure in your Home.

When the water pressure slows down in your household it is at least annoying.  Normally, poor water pressure is caused by clogged pipes.  However, if you’ve already replaced them or have a newer house with new pipes, try the obvious first.  Make sure the shutoff valves near the water meter are fully open.

Depending upon your particular situation, installing a water pressure booster system may be the way how to increase water pressure.  In some municipalities there is a requirement to install a reduced pressure and backflow preventer when a water pressure booster is hooked up.  Perhaps it is time to call in a licensed plumber to evaluate your system.

Installing a Garbage Disposal.

It works cranking along day to day, week to week, month to month.  If you had an inventory of what you have put into your garbage disposal over the years you would think that you were reviewing the contents of the local landfill!  You don’t want to even think about the items that have been ground over time.  Now, it may be time for a repair or replacement.

Here are some steps that will need to be taken –

1.  Be sure that the power is completely off
2.  Disconnect its electrical cable
3.  Loosen the locking ring and remove the old disposal
4.  Unscrew the mounting ring from the underside
5.  Push out the sink flange and completely clean out the putty

There are more steps, of course, and unless you have experience in such matters you need to call A River City Plumbing before you even think about this job as being a DIY one.  A River City Plumbing has been repairing and replacing garbage disposals in S.E. Washington and N.W. Idaho for years.  Call (509) 954-6567 in Spokane or (208) 659-6565 in the Coeur D’Alene area.
