How far can an ejector pump push sewage?

• <div><p>Ejector pumps can only push sewage 750 feet or less. That’s because their purpose is to move waste from your home to your sewer line—which is a relatively short distance. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-grinder-pump.htm">Grinder pumps</a> can transport sewage further, but they manage lower volumes of waste than ejector pumps (and they don’t work with septic systems).</p></div>

Can you hear a pipe burst?

• <div><p>Sometimes when a pipe bursts in a house, it makes a clang or popping noise; however, that doesn’t mean you’ll hear it. Newer pipes tend to be quieter than older pipes. Plus, a pipe can easily burst out of earshot, especially if it’s a floor or two away from you. </p><p>If you do hear an unusual popping noise, consider hiring a plumber to inspect your pipes. Most of the time, you’re more likely to notice a burst pipe either from a visible leak or because water won’t run out of your tap properly.</p></div>

Q: How far can a dishwasher be from the sink?

• <div><p>Local plumbing codes and manufacturer recommendations typically dictate the minimum distance between a sink and a dishwasher. This is generally 18 to 24 inches, providing enough room for easy loading and unloading of dishes without hindering the sink's function. Maintaining this separation not only adds convenience but also reduces the chances of water damage and optimizes plumbing connections.</p></div>

Q: What should I do if my pipe bursts?

• <div><p>If a pipe bursts in your home, immediately shut off the water supply using the main water supply valve. Then, open up all of your faucets to drain the pipes and relieve any remaining pressure. Flushing the toilets can also help to relieve the pressure. Finally, call a plumber to make an emergency repair.</p></div>

Q: What pipes are under a bathtub?

• <div><p>The water supply lines run underneath the bathtub. These two pipes deliver cold and hot water to the bathtub&mdash;the cold water comes from the main water supply, and the hot water comes from the water heater. The pipes are made from copper, cream-colored plastic CPVC, or red and blue PEX tubing. </p></div>
