Should I use a liquid drain cleaner?

• <div><p>No, you should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-reasons-not-use-liquid-drain-cleaners.htm">avoid using liquid drain cleaners</a>. These chemicals, often packed with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, can wreak havoc on your pipes, causing erosion and potential leaks. They’re also dangerous to your health. If you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, manual removal or a professional plumber is your best bet. Chemical drain cleaners can often make things worse, especially if the clog stays put and the chemicals linger in your pipes.</p></div>

Q: How do you unclog a toilet when the bowl is full?

• <div><p>A bit of water in the bowl can help unclog a toilet, especially if you're using a plunger. However, if the bowl is full to the brim, you'll need to strap on gloves and remove some of the wastewater in a cup or container so it doesn't overflow when you try to unblock the pipe. If you're concerned about it filling further, manually close the flapper in the toilet tank or turn off the water supply to the toilet.</p></div>

Q: Do frost-free faucets need to be covered?

• <div><p>Though frost-free faucets are designed to withstand winter weather in most climates, it&rsquo;s still a good idea to cover your faucets with an insulated cap during periods of extreme cold. Even then, you should always disconnect hoses and drain the faucet before temperatures dip below freezing. Frost-free faucets will not work correctly if a hose is attached because the hose can contain trapped water.</p></div>

Q: Do pot fillers need hot or cold water?

• <div><p>Pot fillers are often outfitted with cold water only. When you need water for boiling, always choose cold water because hot water may contain more dissolved minerals from the pipe, offsetting the flavor of the food. In kitchens where the filler is used often, it may make sense to route hot water too, but this is rare, and even professional kitchens seldom have this option installed.</p></div>

Q: How do I unclog a washing machine drain pipe?

• <div><p>To unclog the drain pipe, remove the machine's drain hose from the pipe or sink drain, being careful to contain any water in it. Next, use a plunger for sink drains or a plumbing snake for a wall drain. Test the repair by pouring a small amount of water into the pipe before trying it with a laundry load. </p></div>

These people are scammers. Quoted $55k to replace the pipes in the house and insurance declined. Then quoted $18k to locate leak and repair by tearing up floors and walls. Insurance approved $12k and we were on the hook for $6k. They came out to detect the areas for the leak. The day they came...

Efficient, professional and speedy installation. Todd has a facility for explaining what he intends to do regarding the job (and why) in layman's terms. No jargon. In my opinion a very good businessman and an indispensable vendor when you have electrical issues.
