Why is my outside spigot not working?

• <div><p>When water stops flowing from your outdoor spigot, always begin by making sure it's been opened for the season. Winterized hose bibs need to be turned back on from the indoor water source in the spring. Other culprits when <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-get-your-outdoor-spigot-flowing.htm">fixing an outdoor water spigot</a> include:</p><ul><li><p>Debris blocking the pipe</p></li><li><p>Broken washer</p></li><li><p>Loose and leaking packing nut</p></li><li><p>Issues with your home's water supply</p></li></ul><p>Call a local plumber if you are not able to find the issue by opening the water valve or checking the washer and packing nut. There could be a problem further up the pipe that needs attention.</p></div>

When should you not use plumber's tape?

• <div><p>While plumber’s tape is a great solution for many plumbing problems, there are some times when it’s not the right product for the job at hand. </p><p>You shouldn’t use plumber’s tape on pipe connections in any of the following scenarios:</p><ul><li><p>When connecting PVC pipes</p></li><li><p>If the pipe has wide threads, as water can still leak through the space between the threads</p></li><li><p>If the pipe has very tight threads, as the tape would prevent a proper connection</p></li><li><p>If the pipe threads are damaged, which would prevent the tape from providing a watertight seal</p></li></ul><p>If your predicament is similar to any of these, a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-do-plumbers-need-be-licensed.htm">licensed plumber</a> can help you solve the problem.</p></div>

Q: How do you prevent plumbing vents from freezing?

• <div><p>To keep your plumbing vents from freezing, start by <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-materials-are-best-pipe-insulation.htm">insulating your pipes</a> with foam or fiberglass sleeves to help maintain their temperature. For an extra layer of security, use heat tape, which acts as a personal heater to keep your pipes warm even when temperatures drop. Additionally, you should regularly check your vent cap to make sure it&rsquo;s free from leaves and debris that can block the airflow. A clean, unobstructed vent cap is crucial for maintaining proper ventilation that will keep your plumbing vents from freezing and the plumbing system running smoothly.</p><p></p></div>

Q: Are all faucets compatible with all sinks?

• <div><p>No, all faucets are not compatible with all sinks. Because your countertops and your sink likely have a set number of holes already built in, you&rsquo;ll need to find a faucet with the same amount of holes to work with your existing sink.</p></div>

Q: Can you use a utility knife to cut PEX pipe?

• <div><p>Yes, you can technically use a utility knife or straight blade to cut through PEX pipe. However, this isn't an ideal method simply because you won't get the same clean cut that you'll get with a pipe cutter. A utility knife will likely create angles that weaken your push connections. If you use a utility knife, score the pipe with the knife along your marked line several times before making your final cut.</p></div>

Q: When should you not use plumber's tape?

• <div><p>While plumber&rsquo;s tape is a great solution for many plumbing problems, there are some times when it&rsquo;s not the right product for the job at hand. </p><p>You shouldn&rsquo;t use plumber&rsquo;s tape on pipe connections in any of the following scenarios:</p><ul><li><p>When connecting PVC pipes</p></li><li><p>If the pipe has wide threads, as water can still leak through the space between the threads</p></li><li><p>If the pipe has very tight threads, as the tape would prevent a proper connection</p></li><li><p>If the pipe threads are damaged, which would prevent the tape from providing a watertight seal</p></li></ul><p>If your predicament is similar to any of these, a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-do-plumbers-need-be-licensed.htm">licensed plumber</a> can help you solve the problem.</p></div>

"Came to our lake house twice to fix an issue with shower going hot and cold and the issue was not rectified either time, yet we were charged approx $800 for each visit (including “trip charge”). We were slow to pay the second time because we were asking them to come back and fix the issue and we got chastised by the lady calling to collect with threats that “trust me, you dont want to owner to get involved” inferring that he was not going to be pleasant to deal with. We actually asked for the owner to call but all we got was were threats to be sent to bad debt collection so we gave up and just paid the bill. Now we’ve spent $1600 with Ace, who cares nothing about making sure our issue was resolved but just collecting their fees and we still haven’t gotten our problem fixed. Great example of why contractors have a bad name. No integrity."
