Every homeowner is bound to come across some plumbing issues. Leaking pipes, a malfunctioning heater, and clogged toilets are common cases from which no home is ever truly safe. Although Peterson Mechanical’s plumbers are always at your service, having these tools will save your skin in the case of a plumbing problem. Read on to find out which plumbing tools you should have at home!
Don’t be afraid to invest a little more money on a high-quality plunger: you’ll use it more often than you’d think! Plungers are an essential plumbing tool.
It can frequently solve minor obstructions and be your first line of defense against blocked drains, whether you’re clearing a toilet or a sink.
A drain snake, sometimes known as an auger, can be used to unclog drains at a deeper level. This long, coiled tool is inserted into your drain and used to remove large blockages. Drain snakes can also be motorized!
An adjustable wrench is a plumbing tool that can help you accommodate a large range of pipes. The jaw of an adjustable wrench locks into place to keep it from slipping as you work and you can modify the grip size to meet a variety of fittings. With an adjustable wrench, you’ll save yourself the hassle and expense of buying different wrench sizes.
This simple plumbing tool helps seal any gaps in your pipes. Plumber’s tape can be wrapped around problematic areas to fill up any gaps and stop leaks. This plumbing tool will be a quick fix for any leaking pipes, at least until a professional plumber can fix them for you!
Like a plumber’s tape, a caulking gun is a tool that helps with leaks. This gun allows you to neatly apply silicone onto pipes and other surfaces, including your toilet, sink, bathtub, and shower.
A hacksaw is the perfect tool for the job when you need to occasionally cut through metal or plastic pipes. As a multi-purpose tool, a hacksaw can also be used to cut through tough nuts, bolts, and other pieces of common hardware.
