It is always safe to have your own tools and kits in case of emergencies. Just like your first aid kit, it is also important to prepare an aid or a kit for your plumbing needs. One of the main house problems is the plumbing system. And it can bring a really huge impact when it’s damaged (depending on the extent). Therefore, you should always be equipped and prepared whenever you may have leaking or other plumbing problems.
A plumber’s emergency kit is an aid with different tools that you can use to fix sink troubles, leaking, clogging, and anything alike. Before you know what to store on your kit, you should first find a good toolbox where you can put all your things for plumbing. Basically, it is only a five gallon bucket. You can attach a tool caddy if you want so there’ll be a place for everything. Aside from being a toolbox, your bucket can also catch water caused by leaking.
The first few tools on your list should be a forced cup and a regular plunger. There are different types of plunger and each has different uses and severity of unclogging. Wrenches are also important. You must have an adjustable wrench and a middle sized joint pliers to do all types of jobs for you.
A multi-bit screwdriver can minimize the amount of tools that you need for it can do most types of plumbing job. Different types of Allen keys should also be handy for its different uses.
For sealing, you should have leak sealing tape and duct tape ready. They can be good first aids until an expert can come and fix the problem permanently. Teflon can be used in sealing up leaks around threaded connections. A broken valve can be fixed by a variety of blind caps. Cleaning up the leaks is also important so you might want to have heavy duty paper towels and rags.
These tools are the things that you should consider adding on your plumber’s kit. When everything is already inside the kit, store it in a place where you can easily see it but avoid it within your child’s reach. For instance, you can store it in the cabinet below or above your kitchen sink. Storing a kit can help you organize your stuff. Now, you won’t hear anyone yelling “where’s the plunger?” again for everything can be found in one place.
