Other Resources
We offer the following links which we feel may be useful. The companies listed below do not have a business relationship with Ramona's Plumber or DIYplumbingAdvice, and are responsible for their own content. Plumbing issues, solutions, materials, and other factors can vary by region due to geographical, weather, and other significant differences. Not all information is relevant to all regions.
There is plenty of advice available on-line. Some methods suggested elsewhere are good, some are wrong, other methods are an option and work well. I consider myself an expert, if you are in doubt, give me a call. Also, please give feedback to the success or failure of any method, and we will all be wiser.
