Q: Can copper pipes crack and burst in cold weather?

• <div><p>Yes, copper pipes can freeze, crack, and burst in cold weather. In fact, of all piping types used for plumbing, copper pipes burst most easily when frozen. This is because copper conducts energy and loses heat more quickly than other types of plumbing. Copper also won't expand when the water inside freezes. Instead, it bursts or splits to accommodate expanding frozen water.</p></div>

Q: Can you patch a leaking copper pipe?

• <div><p>You can temporarily patch a leaking copper pipe using epoxy putty or adhesive tape. These are not permanent solutions, and you will eventually need to remove and replace the damaged portion of the pipe. </p><p>For a smaller pinhole, you can solder it closed using plumbing flux. Again, this is only a temporary solution, but it will give you time to hire a plumber and go over your options.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to drain water lines in a house?

• <div><p>It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours to drain the water lines in a house. Larger homes or homes with more complex systems will take more time, while smaller homes with a single bathroom and fewer appliances will take less time. Turning off the water and opening all the faucets should only take a few minutes to half an hour, but the rest of the job is time spent waiting for the water to drain. </p></div>

Q: What are the most common pool leak locations?

• <div><p>Pool leaks most commonly occur at joints or where different materials meet. The most frequent leak spots include:</p><ul><li><p><b>The Pool Skimmer:</b> Where the plastic skimmer meets the pool's liner or shell.</p></li><li><p><b>The Pool Liner:</b> Tears can develop in vinyl liners, especially those between 5 and 20 years old. Leaks also occur around the liner's edge.</p></li><li><p><b>Fittings and Accessories:</b> Areas around return lines, the main drain, and pool lights are common culprits.</p></li><li><p><b>Pool Equipment:</b> The pump, filter, and filter housing can also leak.</p></li></ul><p>While leaks in underground pipes are less common, they can be costly to fix. It's usually best to check the more common spots before investigating the plumbing system.</p></div>

Q: Can I fill my hot tub with a bucket?

• <div><p>You can fill your hot tub with a bucket, but it will take a long time, and the water won&rsquo;t run through a prefilter. Look at it this way. If you need 700 gallons to fill the hot tub and you have a 5-gallon bucket, it will require 140 buckets to fill the hot tub. </p></div>

"The Plumber (Pedro) showed up early for the appointment which was **refreshing**, as normally service techs are late or do not show at all. Pedro acted professionally and the job performed was also very professional. Con: Cost was a bit high (service call/trip fee) We would certainly recommend Goettl."

"Alex and Donavan were very thorough. Discovered more than what we called them for. We originally wanted information on sealing cracks to eliminate cricket infestation coming through cracks in stem wall. We were not interested in repairing foundation rebar which is typical in slab homes in AZ. They were knowledgeable and honest in their evaluation of our home."

"fantastic product, fantastic job. The men that did the work were great, very professional and friendly. They told us where the best place to put the solar tube to get the outcome that we wanted. And boy were they right. The end result was perfect. We used this company 25 years ago and still had a $25 coupon from that job and they honored it. We all kind of got a chuckle out of that.. Again, great product and great company"
