What are the differences between biodegradable and conventional drain cleaners?

• <div><p>Conventional drain cleaners, like you might buy at the grocery store, use bleach (sodium hydroxide) as the main ingredient. On the contrary, biodegradable drain cleaners use gentler ingredients such as baking soda, vinegar, and boiling water to clear out drains. </p><p>Bleach is extremely corrosive and releases harmful gasses—hence the need for wearing safety protections like rubber gloves, eye goggles, face masks, and long sleeves and properly ventilating the room while using bleach. Biodegradable cleaners, however, don’t use bleach. Therefore they are safer to use, especially if you have a house full of children.</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: Are all bathroom sink stoppers the same size?

• <div><p>Today&rsquo;s standard sink stopper size is 1.5 inches. However, you can still find different sizes if your house uses an older sink stopper. Other sizes you can find in most hardware stores include one inch, 1-1/4 inch, 1-3/8 inch, 1-5/8 inch, 1-7/8 inch, 2 inch, 2-1/4 inch, 2-3/8 inch, and 2.5 inch.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if a plumbing problem is an emergency?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/really-plumbing-emergency.htm">plumbing emergency is a problem beyond your control</a> that&rsquo;s threatening to severely damage your home. That type of issue can include major leaks, burst pipes, or an out-of-control water heater that won&rsquo;t stop heating the water. Sewage problems, like sewage backups that force septic tank gases into the house, can also count as an ASAP emergency. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to cap off a gas pipe?

• <div><p>Capping a gas line costs approximately <b>$125</b>. The final price varies from <b>$75 and $150 </b>depending on your contractor&rsquo;s hourly rate. To completely remove a gas line and cap it at the base can cost up to <b>$250</b>. Most contractors will charge a flat fee instead of by the hour since capping is often part of a larger project.</p></div>
