What time of year do pipes burst?

• <div><p>Pipes most often burst during winter and early spring because those seasons experience the coldest temperatures that can freeze pipes. Pipes typically begin to freeze when the outside temperature falls below 20 degrees Fahrenheit—but it’s not a hard and fast rule.</p><p>The largest risk is any period of time when outdoor temperatures fall below freezing for six hours or more. That’s an average winter night in many areas of the United States, so it’s best to take precautions before winter begins, like insulating your pipes. </p></div>

Can I cap a gas line myself?

• <div><p>Yes, it’s possible to cap a gas line yourself if you’re no longer using it or are simply going out of town for an extended period of time. It’s essential to follow the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/i-am-converting-gas-stove-electric-who-do-i-hire-cap-gas.htm">steps on properly capping a gas line</a> yourself. If you’re uncomfortable with any of the steps, you may want to bring in a natural gas plumber for added reassurance.</p></div>

Q: Are pedestal sinks hard to install?

• <div><p>Due to the exposed plumbing, pedestal sinks are more challenging to install than traditional closed vanities. Pedestal sinks may also require additional floor and wall support or demolition. However, if you have the correct plumbing in place, then installing a pedestal sink is pretty straightforward and can be completed in a day. However, it&rsquo;s best to hire a professional sink installer to ensure it&rsquo;s done correctly.</p></div>

Q: Can you use flexible pipe for a sink drain?

• <div><p>Yes, you can use flexible pipe for a sink drain. Flexible pipes can make it easier to fit sink plumbing together with less measuring and fewer cuts. However, corrugated flexible pipe can trap hair, grease, and food particles in the folds and cause foul odors and eventually build up enough to clog the drain. Smooth pipes are recommended for sink drains and plumbing.</p></div>

Q: Can I cap a gas line myself?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s possible to cap a gas line yourself if you&rsquo;re no longer using it or are simply going out of town for an extended period of time. It&rsquo;s essential to follow the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/i-am-converting-gas-stove-electric-who-do-i-hire-cap-gas.htm">steps on properly capping a gas line</a> yourself. If you&rsquo;re uncomfortable with any of the steps, you may want to bring in a natural gas plumber for added reassurance.</p></div>

Q: Why do pipes need to be inspected?

• <div><p>Pipes should be inspected regularly so you can catch any red flags early on. Common issues that you might run into with your pipes include clogs, damage like cracks and leaks, corrosion, or other signs of wear. When you stay on top of an inspection schedule, you'll avoid costly problems like burst pipes. </p></div>

Ford's was very responsive and professional both times I used them. In 2012, they installed a seismic shutoff valve for the gas line in a tight location and did it very well, and took time to explain everything to me. In 2013, a landscaper accidentally cut a hole in my water main. I called...

Their price was medium to high but they did pretty good work, so I am okay with it. They were very prompt and they were clean. When they left the house, it looked like they didn’t do any work or stuff like that, so it was good. I would use them again in the future.
