This is what toilet tank additives can do to the synthetic rubber parts in the tank. Be aware that you will accelerate the deterioration of these parts when you use them. Also, you will void any warranty on the toilet and/or parts. These parts can run up your water bill; this one is way beyond that point.

Selling or buying a Home? You should consider having a camera inspection of the sewer to determine whether or not there are any potential problems. The more common problems are roots, extreme "dips" caused by settling, breaks and sometimes foreign objects lodged in the pipe. These problems typically can only be corrected by excavating the sewer to make the repair resulting in a big bill. So, spend a little and save alot!

On the eve of the "polar Vortex", a few general tips to help prevent freeze-ups in your home.

- A cold snap is no time to save on your gas bill. Turn the heat up a few degrees to "push back" at the penetrating cold.

-Trickle faucets hot & cold. Single handle faucets set handle to warm (middle)

-Open drop ceilings in basements to allow heat in, especially where pipes are near outside walls (hose spigots)

-Open cabinets on outside walls to allow heat in. Use fans to aid circulation. AVOID space heaters.

-Now for the hard one. Get up a few times during the night to run water at all the plumbing fixures.

-Maintain this vigil until your comfortable that the outside temp. has warmed enough.

Good Luck & Stay Warm!
