Can you put a new toilet flange over an old one?

• <div><p>A standard toilet flange should fit snugly into the outflow pipe and sit level with the subfloor. Installing a new one without first removing the old one will make it impossible to form a seal and keep the toilet bowl bolted securely in place. </p><p>However, if you’re dealing with leakage or wobbling because you’ve installed a new <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-trending-bathroom-tile.htm">type of bathroom tile</a> (making the floor taller), you may be able to avoid fully replacing the flange by opting for a toilet flange extender. Extenders typically come in kits for easy DIY installation, fit over the existing flange, and bring the drain connection higher.</p></div>

Where should you drain a hot tub?

• <div><p>Where you drain a hot tub largely depends on local regulations, but you must not drain chemically treated water where it can damage the environment. Direct the water toward a sanitary sewer drain that will take it to a treatment facility. If your lawn has a dedicated drainage area that’s free from plants and foundations, you can likely drain it there. Avoid storm drains, as the hot tub water will enter waterways and could hurt aquatic life. Likewise, do not pour it out directly on any public land or where it can get into your neighbors’ property. </p></div>

Q: Is it necessary to have a sink drain stopper?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s necessary to have a sink drain stopper. While your sink will still work without a stopper, a stopper is necessary to keep things other than water from going down into your pipes and potentially clogging them. It prevents <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/plumbing-problems.htm">plumbing problems</a> by keeping out unwanted debris and objects like hair, soap, toothpaste, dirt, and jewelry.</p></div>

Q: How do I find my shut-off valve?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-find-your-homes-water-shut-valve.htm">Your shut-off valve</a> is likely located in a basement, utility room, or garage and is connected to your sprinkler system by a water line. Likely, you will be able to observe the water line connection going to your house and trace that to find the shutoff valve. You might also have an access panel that covers a utility box in your yard. If you have one of these, the shutoff valves for your sprinkler system are likely inside.</p></div>

Q: Do frozen pipes always burst?

• <div><p>Frozen water doesn&rsquo;t always cause a pipe to burst. Most of the time, a clog will simply prevent your sink from draining properly. Plastic and PVC pipes could warp to expand with the frozen water without rupturing. But as the cold weather progresses and more water or debris piles up in a frozen pipe, the risk of a burst pipe increases. </p></div>
