Q: Can you put plumber’s tape over old plumber’s tape?

• <div><p>No, putting new plumber&rsquo;s tape over old plumber&rsquo;s tape is not recommended. The old tape connection may not be completely adhered and could cause a leak. </p><p>Instead, remove the old tape completely, clean off the pipe threads with a clean rag and wire brush if needed, then apply new plumber&rsquo;s tape to make your connection.</p></div>

Q: Is there a tool to measure pipe size?

• <div><p>To measure pipe size, you can use a ruler, a soft tape measure, or a caliper. You can find a special pipe caliper that has iron or copper pipe sizes already marked. Rulers work if the end of the pipe is exposed. If your pipe is still attached to the plumbing, you&rsquo;ll need to go for a soft tape measure or caliper.</p></div>

Q: What is the safest pipe for drinking water?

• <div><p>Copper pipes are the safest type of pipe for carrying drinking water because they won't leach chemicals into your drinking water. However, for the best water quality, you should use copper pipes with lead-free joint material. The next best options for carrying drinking water are CPVC and PEX pipes.</p><p>If you use copper pipes for drinking water, you should check your water&rsquo;s pH level. If it has a pH value lower than seven, you'll need to balance your water acidity with a purifier to avoid corrosion that could affect your drinking water quality. </p></div>

Q: Will air in water pipes go away?

• <div><p>If your pipes are newly installed, or you recently had plumbing work done, it's normal to have some air in the pipes, which will likely work its way out naturally after using the plumbing a few times. But if you continually hear banging or gurgling due to air bubbles, you might have an air leak, which is best addressed by a plumber. </p></div>

Q: Can you replace a 10-inch rough-in toilet with a 12-inch one?

• <div><p>You won&rsquo;t be able to replace a 10-inch rough-in toilet with a 12-inch one without paying extra to move the floor drain. In the event you decide to change the location of your drainpipe, expect to pay $0.75 to $30 per linear foot plus labor. Otherwise, it&rsquo;s more cost-effective to find a 10-inch rough-in toilet that meets your needs.</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.
