Blog Entry 2 of 39 Got a small plumbing job and don't want to pay big

Does the sink clog up on you every month? Wondering if you need a water filter and what type should you get? How about paying someone to winterize your sprinklers and swamp cooler when you could do it for next to nothing. When is it time to call in a professional and what do I look for in choosing one. I am a master plumber who's been in the business for 25 years. I've worked for many outfits (some reputable, some not) and I'm here to help as I dive into the world of journalism. C'mon in and lay on the couch...now...what's bothering you? Contact Dr. Plumb by clicking "send me a message" in the contributor information box

Time to winterize the plumbing!!!!

Hey there folks,
It's Sunday night and I'm watching the weather report after a fine day of football. The meterologist says it's going to get cold with some snow on the way.
That means you need to winterize your homes ASAP. I'm talking about pulling out that 10 foot ladder, crawling up on the roof, draining and diconnecting the evaporative cooler, unhooking all hoses from hose bibbs, and don't forget about blowing out the sprinkler systems. Take the time now to avoid COSTLY repairs later.
Just a friendly reminder for those of you who may have procrastinated (like me). If you've done all this then go back to football and hockey (Go Avs). Don't wait until tomorrow (brrrrrrr) because Monday Night Football wil be on (Go Broncos) and you won't want to do it then.
If you need help, I'm here for you.

Later
Dr Plumb

Dr.Plumb - I want to change a 20-foot line from galvanized to copper in a crawl space in my house. Where do I start? Any special tricks? I'm going from a 3/4" house line, out to a hose bibb. Most of the house has already been changed, but I want to do this one myself. Thanks for the advice...

Dr. Plumb -- This is probably going to be an easy one for you to answer (sorry it's not related to winterizing): Why do I keep moving into apartments where the handle has to be jiggled on the toilet to stop it from constantly running? It seems to me that this is a really common problem. Also, is there an easy fix, or do I need to call in the property manager? Thanks!
