๐Ÿšฐ YOUR LAVATORY FAUCET IS BARELY FLOWING? REMAIN CALM! ๐Ÿ˜‚


Before you call American Plumbing, alert the neighbors, shut down the water main, and start pricing a complete bathroom remodel… check the aerator!


That little screen screwed onto the end of your faucet has one job—and apparently even THAT can become too much responsibility. ๐Ÿคฃ


Over time, it can fill up with calcium, sediment, rust, and enough miscellaneous crud to make your faucet go from Niagara Falls to an 87-year-old man with prostate problems.


Before you declare a plumbing emergency, unscrew the aerator, clean the screen, rinse everything out, and screw it back on.


Congratulations! You may have just repaired your own plumbing.


Go ahead and walk around the house with your chest puffed out. Tell your spouse to start calling you “Master Plumber.” Maybe even send yourself an invoice. ๐Ÿ˜‚


But here’s one important warning:


PAY ATTENTION TO HOW IT COMES APART!


Because nothing makes us laugh harder than getting the phone call:


โ˜Ž๏ธ “I cleaned the aerator like you said…but now I’ve got four little pieces on the countertop and the faucet shoots water sideways.”


THAT’S when you call American Plumbing. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ”ง๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ


Sometimes the best plumbing advice we can give you is the kind that keeps you from having to pay us!
