Hello there, thought I would journal some of my day to day activities.

Hope you enjoy.

The Hidden Toy

The Case of the Hidden Toy Last Tuesday started like any other day, and the usual hopes that the day’s jobs would be smooth. Then came the call about a “mystery clog.” When I arrived, the homeowner was visibly concerned about their uncooperative toilet.

After some investigation and effort, I discovered the culprit—a plastic stacking pot jammed round the s bend, courtesy of their child’s playtime adventures.

It’s a reminder to always double-check what’s near the toilet if you have kids! Problem solved, and one happy homeowner later, I was back on the road.

The Whistling Showerhead

The Whistling Showerhead A customer called about an odd whistling noise in their bathroom. I assumed it was a pipe issue, but the sound was actually coming from the showerhead itself. A small piece of debris (limescale) had become lodged inside, causing the noise.

A quick cleaning and adjustment fixed the problem. These situations are a good reminder to clean fixtures regularly to avoid unexpected performances during your morning routine.

The Mysterious Leak

The Mysterious Leak One afternoon, I received a call about water pooling under a kitchen sink. Upon inspection, it turned out to be a simple loose connection at the pipe joint.

This job emphasized the importance of regular inspections and being attentive to small leaks before they lead to bigger problems.

A quick tightening fixed the issue, and the homeowner was relieved to avoid more significant damage.

Pro Tips from the Trenches

Avoid flushing anything other than toilet paper to prevent clogs.

If you hear unusual noises from your pipes, don’t ignore them—early intervention can save time and money.

Check under sinks and around fixtures for signs of leaks regularly to catch issues early.

Thanks for following along! Plumbing may not always be glamorous, but keeping your home’s systems running smoothly is always worth it. Until next time, stay proactive and prepared!
