What are the most common plumbing problems outside of the home?

• <div><p>Outdoor plumbing issues are no less serious or urgent to fix than interior plumbing problems. These problems may require excavation and lawn repair due to the plumbing often being buried underground. The most common outside plumbing problems include:</p><ul><li><p>Clogged landscape drainage: $200–$1,000</p></li><li><p>Clogged sewer lines: $60–$250 per linear foot</p></li><li><p>Corroded or rusted pipes: $1,500–$15,000+</p></li><li><p>Leaking drain lines: $200–$1,000</p></li><li><p>Leaking water mains: $300–$4,000+</p></li><li><p>Septic system failure: $600–$3,000+</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-root-killer-answer-your-sewer-pipe-clog.htm">Tree roots in pipes</a>: $200–$1,000</p></li><li><p>Well pump failure: $350–$1,500</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How do I know if my plumbing vent is clogged?

• <div><p>Anything from debris, rust, ice, and even poor installation can cause clogs in your plumbing vents. Some signs of a clog include slow drains, gurgling sounds in drains and toilets, and bad odors. The bad odors are the most concerning, as these can include methane and hydrogen sulfide. Contact a plumber to come take a look if you notice any of these signs.</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: What type of pipe is used for main water lines?

• <div><p>The best types of piping for underground main water lines are PVC and PEX pipes because of their ability to be buried and withstand high levels of water pressure. PVC and PEX pipes are resistant to rusting and corrosion, which makes them ideal for transporting water. Copper is another efficient type of pipe for underground water lines because of their resistance to rusting and leakage. Again, copper pipes are on the higher end of the price range. </p></div>

Q: When should I be worried about a burst pipe?

• <div><p>Never ignore burst pipes, as they dump heavy loads of water in their wake. This excess moisture can lead to ruined appliances, an abundance of mold, and issues with your home&rsquo;s electrical system (and so much more). If you suspect a burst pipe is wreaking havoc somewhere within your system, do not hesitate to contact a professional plumber. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-installing-or-replacing-plumbing-pipes-cost.htm">Pipe replacement costs</a> much less than mitigating serious water damage or structural issues.</p></div>
