Q: How do you clean a sink stopper without removing it?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t want to remove the sink stopper, pour &frac12; cup of baking soda and 2 cups of boiling water down the drain. Start by pouring 1 cup of boiling water, then the baking soda, followed by the remaining cup of boiling water. Use caution as boiling water can damage PVC or other plastic piping. Using a scrub brush or slightly abrasive sponge, clean the top of the stopper, and run the faucet to ensure the drain is clear and the stopper is clean. </p></div>

Q: How do I hire a professional plumber?

• <div><p>Hiring a reliable and professional plumber involves researching plumbing companies in your area, speaking with the plumbers to get a sense of their services and qualifications, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">checking online for licensing</a> and customer reviews. You can ask the following questions to help find the best and most reputable plumber in your area:</p><ul><li><p>Do you charge by the hour or by the project?</p></li><li><p>Are you licensed, certified, and insured?</p></li><li><p>Does your work come with any type of warranty?</p></li><li><p>Do you have customer references I could speak with?</p></li><li><p>Do you have experience handling my particular issue?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What size pipe do I need to plumb a bathroom?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll need two sizes of pipe to plumb a bathroom. You&rsquo;ll use a 1/2-inch pressure pipe for your supply lines that run from the fixture to the larger 3/4-inch supply lines that run through the house. For drain lines, you&rsquo;ll need a 3-inch PVC pipe for your toilet, a 2-inch PVC pipe for stand-alone showers, and a 1 1/2-inch pipe for a shower/tub combo and the bathroom sink. Each fixture&rsquo;s drain will run to the 3-inch main drain that runs through the house.</p></div>

Q: How are pipes connected in a bathroom?

• <div><p>Pipes are connected in a bathroom by a 3/4-inch to 1-inch line running from your water meter into your home. The line then splits, with the hot water line going to your water heater and the cold water line running into your home. The cold water line leads to the 1/2-inch water supply lines for your home&rsquo;s toilet, tub, and sink. The hot water line runs from the water heater to all sinks and baths.</p></div>

Q: Should I hire a local or national emergency plumber?

• <div><p>National emergency plumbers usually have greater availability to address emergencies because they have more professionals at their disposal, but local plumbers may be located closer to your home and can arrive faster. We recommend contacting one or two local plumbers first to see how quickly they can arrive. Move ahead with the service if it&rsquo;s within a reasonable time frame. If not, contact a national company to see if they can get out more quickly. National companies sometimes outsource work to third parties, which can often mean faster response times.</p></div>
