It’s easy to fix noisy pipes which squeak or sound like hammering. What you will have to do is anchor any pipes that are exposed. Get a professional to anchor any hidden pipes if you do not wish to do some work in your floors or walls by yourself.
Check for floor damage around your toilet. If the floor around your toilet feels softer than the rest of the floor in your bathroom, there’s damage you need to address. Stand over the toilet, then rock it back and forth to see if any weakening in the floor has occurred. As with many problems, early detection can save you a lot of money.
Stay away from bleach tablets, blue tablets for the toilet and other toilet odor removers. While they are good at removing odors, they have a detrimental effect on the parts of the toilet that are rubber. This can make it not function correctly and may even break it.
However, if you mix a cup of vinegar and a cup of baking soda and send them down your tub’s drain each month, the flow will keep going smoothly. Seal off the drain with a conventional plug or a piece of fabric while the natural chemical reaction takes place. Flush it with boiling water after a few minutes. Doing this will help rid your pipes of disgusting soap scum and blockages.
