Q: What home temperature should you set so pipes don’t freeze?

• <div><p>If you plan to be away from home and aren&rsquo;t using your heat, you should still set your thermostat to at least <b>55 degrees Fahrenheit</b> to keep pipes from freezing. That way, you won&rsquo;t return home to water damage from burst pipes and can avoid an expensive, messy repair.</p></div>

Q: Will running water unfreeze pipes?

• <div><p>Running water can help melt ice inside the pipe, but only up to a certain point. If your pipe is frozen solid, adding water will not likely resolve the issue. Water will begin to flow through the affected pipe once the area is heated by a plumber, signaling the issue is getting resolved.</p></div>

Q: How do you get air out of shower pipes?

• <div><p>You can remove air from your shower pipes in a few simple steps. Turn off the water at the main water supply and open all the faucets in your home, starting with those closest to the water supply and working away from those. Let the faucets run dry, then flush all the toilets in your home until there is no more water in them. From there, turn the water supply back on and let it flow for 10 to 15 minutes until the sputtering stops. To finish, turn off your faucets and flush your toilets in the reverse order. </p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a walk-in tub?

• <div><p>Clean regularly, avoid abrasive cleaners, and inspect seals and jets for functionality.</p></div>

Q: Are there standard pipe sizes?

• <div><p>Yes. There are a variety of standard pipe sizes used in plumbing. The main supply line connecting your home to the street is either 3/4 or 1 inch in diameter. Supply lines are 3/4 inch in diameter. Individual components are 1/2 inch in diameter. Meanwhile, your main drainpipe is often 4 inches wide. Most shower and bathtub drains are 2 inches in diameter, most toilet drains are 3 inches in diameter, and most <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/sink-drain-pipe-size.htm">sink drainpipes</a> are 1 1/4 or 1 &frac12; inches in diameter.</p></div>
