Q: Does a flue pipe have to go straight up?

• <div><p>A flue pipe should go straight up from the back of the fireplace to the top of the chimney. Bends or kinks in the flue liner would restrict combustion gasses from flowing seamlessly out of the home, so these gasses could instead smoke up your living room and become a health hazard to your household.</p></div>

Q: Will homeowners insurance cover polybutylene pipes?

• <div><p>No, most homeowners insurance will not cover the replacement of polybutylene pipes. These pipes are considered defective and high-risk and can cause leaks and severe water damage. They usually don&rsquo;t fall under &ldquo;sudden and accidental&rdquo; damage. Unfortunately, you most likely will need to pay for the pipe replacement yourself. </p></div>

Q: Can you use the outside spigot in the winter?

• <div><p>It is safe to use a frost-proof or freeze-proof spigot or pump in the winter if you live in an area with freezing temperatures. Otherwise, it's best to fully drain and shut down your outside spigot in the winter to avoid cracking a pipe.</p></div>

Q: Can I snake my own drain?

• <div><p>If methods like hot water or a plunger don&rsquo;t work on your clogged drain, you can snake your drain to dislodge the plug. This can be a messy process, taking some physical effort and additional time over the other drain-clearing options. You can purchase a drain snake at a hardware store and choose from handheld options or those attached to a drill. Just work slowly, and be ready to call a plumber if you&rsquo;re unable to reach the clog from your drain or P-trap.</p></div>

Q: Can you put plumber’s tape over old plumber’s tape?

• <div><p>No, putting new plumber&rsquo;s tape over old plumber&rsquo;s tape is not recommended. The old tape connection may not be completely adhered and could cause a leak. </p><p>Instead, remove the old tape completely, clean off the pipe threads with a clean rag and wire brush if needed, then apply new plumber&rsquo;s tape to make your connection.</p></div>

Salesman, and installers were the best. The person that does the scheduling was rude, couldn't give the correct times. If he would have been nicer and more informative, our experience would have been fantastic instead of very good.
