Nothing is more frustrating than taking a relaxing shower, only to look down and find you’re standing in ankle-deep water. A clogged shower drain is a nuisance that requires attention before it floods your bathroom.
Slow drain? Before you call the professionals, try clearing the sink clog yourself. Just keep these dos and don’ts in mind to save time, minimize effort, and prevent damaging your pipes.
Like most of the country, Utah has hard water. This means the water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium, minerals that are harsh on your skin, hair, and plumbing system. The best way to combat hard water is with a whole-house water softener.
Did you recently install a water softener system? You’re probably enjoying the benefits, including softer skin and hair, cleaner clothes and dishes, and fresher-tasting water. Just remember, your water softener requires routine maintenance to continue working smoothly for years to come.
Your water softener works behind the scenes to remove minerals from hard water. With proper maintenance and care, the appliance should run smoothly for many years. Even so, your water softener may occasionally develop problems, many of which you can troubleshoot on your own.
Utah has a semi-arid desert climate with low humidity all year round. You may notice this dryness the most during the winter. After all, cold outdoor air can’t hold as much moisture as warm air, and your furnace saps the indoor air of any humidity it might have had.
Running a humidifier is an effective way to boost the humidity level. Keeping indoor relative humidity between 30 and 50 percent has many benefits, such as promoting good health, preventing dry skin, alleviating snoring, and reducing static shock.
