Why does a dishwasher have to drain through the sink plumbing?

• <div><p>Any drain in your house requires a water trap to prevent sewer gases from entering the home. Dishwashers don’t have an internal water trap, so they must use an external P trap. The most convenient P trap for the dishwasher is already in the plumbing under your sink.</p></div>

Q: How do you file a claim against a plumber?

• <div><p>To file a claim against a plumber, you&rsquo;ll need to contact their liability insurance company. You can ask your plumber for information about their insurer, or you can refer to the documentation you collected before you hired them. Let the company know you need to file a claim, and they&rsquo;ll provide you with the next steps. Alternatively, you can ask your homeowner&rsquo;s insurance company to help you file. </p></div>

Q: How do you know if your fill valve is bad?

• <div><p>If your toilet won&rsquo;t stop running, you might have a bad fill valve. This may be the case if the valve has calcium or debris buildup, is cracked, or shows visible signs of wear and tear. A bad fill valve may also be the culprit if you&rsquo;ve already checked the flapper and chain and adjusted the fill height to no avail. </p></div>

Q: What do I do if the shut-off valve for the kitchen sink isn't working?

• <div><p>If the shut-off valve to your kitchen sink appears to be stuck or broken, there's no need to panic! The workaround is to turn off the main valve that supplies water to your entire household. This valve is located along the main water line. Of course, it's also important to have a plumber repair the malfunctioning shut-off valve under your kitchen sink because this indicates a problem. </p></div>

Q: How often should a toilet fill valve be replaced?

• <div><p>To keep your toilet in good working order, replace the toilet fill valve every five years. Toilets get quite a workout, so while toilet maintenance may not be on top of your to-do list, it&rsquo;s essential to keep up with it to ensure your toilet is in good working order and ready when needed.</p></div>
