Don't Ignore Gurgling Sounds Coming From Your Toilet

"As home residents, we all know that there is ongoing house upkeep tasks that need to be done, but it is human nature to not attend to many of them till it becomes an issue. Considering that my current move, I saw a couple of concerns that turned up in your house that was plainly due to lack of maintenance.

In some cases it simply takes a 3rd party, someone who didn't live in your home every day to see that specific things simply are not working right. Be it avoidance, lack of knowledge or just not taking note of signs, I wish to bring your attention to 3 essential home upkeep projects that tend to get overlooked.

1. Gutter Cleaning. This hasn't been an issue for me per se considering that I reside in a neighborhood where seamless gutter cleaning is looked after by the property owner's association, however due to the fact that they (the property owner's association) schedule this task yearly, this is something that property owners, even occupants, must have on your calendars on an annual basis. The very best time to address this is right after the fall season when all the leaves drop and prior to the rain or snow season. It's been an exceptionally mild winter for us up until now so it might not be a major concern yet, but you don't want to wait until the big rain or snow season to handle emergency situations. Schedule it for mid-November. In truth, if you hang lights on the outside of your home for the vacations, it would be a good time to eliminate 2 birds with one stone, so to speak.

2. Drain pipes Cleaning. Upon moving into this house, I observed that the water in the master restroom sink and tub were draining pipes exceptionally slow. After a number of days of ""dealing"" with it, I did more sleuthing than I ultimately cared to and noticed that the drains pipes were blocked with hair and other nastiness that has actually accumulated over the years. Fortunate for me, I happened to have two bottles of Liquid Plumbing gel in my cleaning stock and proceeded to utilize them in both areas. I'll spare you the details of my attempting to eliminate the stopper from the sink (yuck!) etc. Bottom line is hair, lint, dirt and a myriad of other things decrease the drain. Gradually it gets blocked. It is good practice to use a drain cleaning solution like Liquid Plumber to clear things out occasionally. I have actually because purchased a large bottle of this option and will be utilizing it every other month to keep things streaming. I advise that you do the very same.

3. Dryer Vent Cleaning. This was the most intriguing of all the home concerns. I discovered that the cleaning maker did not wring the clothes out very well and it did take an extremely long period of time for the clothes to actually dry (we're talking over an hour per load)! I attributed it to the washing machine not doing its job well, but when the units were examined, it turned out that it was the dryer vent that was entirely clogged. Long story short, a tool was used to push all the lint out of the vent and I was told that BAGS of lint came flying out. It was ""snowing"" lint! Can you think of? I wasn't here to see it, however I'm simply happy I brought this up and we avoided a home fire. Plus, I make sure I'm conserving myself a fair bit on the electrical costs as an outcome. Just cleaning up the lint from the lint trap is not enough. There is a lot that gets caught much deeper in the hose. I can picture this is an even bigger issue for houses with hairy animals. If you haven't addressed this and my guess is you have not, I would highly advise you spend some time as soon as possible to check out this.

It so happened that I saw this commercial just recently for the Lint Lizard. As a disclaimer, I have actually not used it, however it appears like a genius development because it addresses this extremely issue. You may wish to take a look at the Lint Lizard to help make this job much easier.

I hope you find these pointers handy. I would like to hear your ideas on this post. Is there a house upkeep job you understand of that gets overlooked? Please share so that we can all avoid handling emergency situations that take place as a result."
