Since there are many different items available at Black’s Hardware, it can be difficult to know what to keep on hand and what can be left to the experts, especially when it comes to plumbing. Bring your list of questions to the professionals at Black’s Hardware, and they’ll show you the plumbing parts every home should have in case of an emergency:

• Toilet Repair: Can't get a plumber to your home quickly? Bring the parts into Black's Hardware and we can match up what you'll need for your plumbing repair. If the problem is a clog, a plunger should be all that's needed—just make sure you use the appropriate size. 
• Pipe Fittings: Pipe fittings, specifically rubber pipe repair clamps, are another temporary fix for leaky water pipes. Just loosen the screws, put the sleeve over the leak, and tighten the screws. 
• Faucet Repair: Repair a dripping faucet by replacing the faucet washer. Get varying sizes, as each faucet can be shaped differently. And don't forget to pick up a pipe wrench to tighten bolts. 
• Drain Snakes & Chemicals:  Utilize drain clog remover chemicals for small clogs. Tougher clogs, though, will require the use of a hand auger drain snake. 
• Drain Parts: If you took apart a drain to clear a clog, we have all the necessary parts in order to put it back together again. Replacement shower drains and drain stoppers are also good to have if you're experiencing frequent clogging. 

These items are the essentials when it comes to plumbing repairs, and Black’s Hardware has them all. Give them a call at (585) 544-9896, or visit their website for more information about these products.
