Schiavone Plumbing and Heating

Plumbing

• If your showerhead appears to be clogged soak it in vinegar overnight to remove all mineral deposits.

• To avoid clogged tubs and showers use strainers that catch hair and soap chips. Clean the strainers regularly.

• Remove odor from your kitchen drain by placing orange or lemon rinds in the disposer for about 30 seconds.

• Prevent drain clogs by putting a lint trap on your washing machine discharge hose.

Heating

• Repair broken or cracked glass and putty older windows; check to see that windows close properly and window locks pull sashes together.

• Make sure doors close properly; repair or replace non-working doorknobs, latches and striker plates.

• Weatherstrip windows, doors and attic accesses; caulk the frames around windows and doors from the inside using a clear, pliable caulk.
