About Anthony - The Plumber
Expertise

I can answer most questions in the field of plumbing home repair for the inside or outside property of a home including irrigation systems, septic systems, well water systems, recirculation systems and I can address these questions from a beginning plumbing standpoint or for someone who has more advanced skills.

Are you working on an addition or remodelling? Need some bathroom or kitchen design ideas?

Run your questions by me since I enjoy that challenge of remodelling & new construction projects.

Experience
I have worked on a variety of major projects including Home Depot as an outsourced Project Manager tasked to repair the fire system at the Fullerton/Placentia store and distribution center in Orange County. I believe in simplifying any task I am assigned in order to avoid wasting time and material, while I always look for the simplest solution possible to the issue and then I execute my plan. Having lead many construction crews, large and small, I have been involved in residential and commercial repair and remodel projects including medical facilities, new home construction, high rises and apartment complexes. Building maintenance work in condominium complexes from Playa del Rey to Beverly Hills to the Hollywood Hills are a speciality. I have completed many maintenance work projects at complexes great and small.

Plumbing in the Home - Silicone


Expert: Anthony - The Plumber - 7/7/2009

Question
Hi, we just put in a new cast iron kitchen sink and used silicon to seal it.  However, there is quite a bit of silicone "overflow" around the area.  I am in the process of trying to scrap it all off, but that is very tedious.  Is there a product that will remove it from counters and also from the cast iron that will not harm either?

Thank you for your help.

Answer
Cathy,

Yes, there are silicone removers, however, you must be cautious since
it can remove the seal you installed earlier.

Check your local home improvement store.

You can also carefully remove any excess with a one-sided razor.


Hope this helps.


Regards,


Anthony
