Hello, my name is Jacob. I would like to talk about proper installation and repair of the HVAC system in your commercial building. Full scale HVAC systems for commercial buildings require ongoing maintenance and repairs to keep every floor and room at a comfortable temperature. These temperature control systems also control the air quality in the building by sending the airflow through filter elements. My site will cover all aspects of the upkeep needed for these systems. I will also talk about the benefits of keeping your air quality and temperatures at desirable levels. Thanks for coming to visit my website.

Residential Plumbing 101: 5 Common Plumbing Myths Debunked
Isaiah Chapman
There are a lot of misconceptions when it comes to plumbing. If you are a homeowner, you might be unknowingly making huge mistakes based on these myths. Fortunately, by knowing what these common myths are you can avoid future plumbing problems. Here are five of the biggest residential plumbing myths debunked:
1. It's Completely Normal For Faucets To Drip
If you are like most people, you probably don't give much thought to a dripping faucet. You might even think it's normal. However, a dripping faucet is a huge indicator that there is a serious problem lurking in your plumbing system. Not only does dripping water cost you extra money on your water bill, it can also affect your water pressure. So if you begin to notice that faucets around your home are dripping, consult a professional plumber, like A Absolute Plumbing & Heating. An inspection can reveal the problem and help save you from costly repairs—or even replacements.
2. A Lemon Will Clean The Garbage Disposal
Another common myth that many homeowners believe is that lemons will clean their garbage disposal. While it make sense in theory due to the acidic nature of lemons, it's not an actuality. Like any other food item you put down your garbage disposal, lemons actually dirty it—regardless of the pleasant aroma. If you actually want to clean your garbage disposal, you'll need to use a combination of warm water and soap. If it is particularly dirty, you should remove the disposal according to manufacturer directions and scrub it with a bristle brush.
3. Everything Is Fine If It Drains Quickly
Perhaps one of the most costly myths is that the drains are fine, as long as the water drains quickly. While this does make sense, it's not true. Clogs are often caused by debris buildup that occurs over time. So just because everything seems to be working fine, doesn't actually mean it is fine. This is why you should always be proactive and have a plumber inspect and clean your plumbing system regularly.
4. Ice Cubes Sharpen Garbage Disposal Blades
Another common misconception is that ice cubes sharpen garbage disposal blades. Unfortunately, this isn't true at all. In fact, tossing ice cubes down your garbage disposal might actually dull the blades. This is because ice is abrasive and tough on the blades.
5. A Plunger Will Solve The Clog
Finally, if you are like most people you probably believe that all you need is a plunger to remove clogs. While a plunger certainly can be used, it's not always the best tool for the job. In some cases, a plunger might not fix the problem at all. So always have a snake or an auger on-hand, as these two tools can also help remove clogs or buildup in the pipe system.
As you can see, there are many myths when it comes to residential plumbing. If you have believed these, you now know the truth. As always, if you have any plumbing problems you should consult with a plumber. These professionals can help you identify and fix the problem.
