Q: Can you use PVC to run water lines?

Instead, you&rsquo;ll commonly see PVC for a toilet drain line or for plumbing vents to prevent airlocks, which can prevent water from flowing out of faucets.</p></div>

Q: Is pipe insulation necessary in warmer climates?

• <div><p>While freezing pipes are less of a concern in warmer climates, pipe insulation can still be beneficial because it helps prevent condensation on cold water pipes, reducing the risk of moisture-related issues like mold growth. It also helps maintain water temperature, reducing the energy needed to heat and cool the water, which can ultimately lower your utility bills.</p></div>

Q: Why does my dishwasher water come up into the sink?

• <div><p>When a dishwasher discharges its wastewater, it uses a pump to quickly move a lot of water. If anything in the drain line or the garbage disposal impedes the high volume of water, it will back up into the sink through the drain or the garbage disposal. Following regular <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-tips-avoid-dishwasher-repair.htm">dishwasher maintenance tips</a> like clearing clogs, keeping them cleared, and occasionally running the disposal will eliminate the problem.</p></div>

Q: Do pop-up drains get clogged?

• <div><p>Yes, pop-up drains commonly get clogged with hair, soap scum, and toothpaste. It is important to know how to properly clean the drain or get professional help to ensure it remains clear and can drain water effectively. </p></div>

Q: Is it safe to drink well water that smells like rotten eggs?

• <div><p>If your well water smells like rotten eggs, it&rsquo;s likely because of sulfur bacteria, which aren&rsquo;t harmful. Though it&rsquo;s often safe to drink, it can be incredibly unpleasant and may be hinting at a deeper issue with your well. Call in a well professional to test your water and inspect your well just to be safe.</p></div>
