Q: Do drain pipe installers need to be certified or licensed?

• <div><p>The regulations around whether drain pipe installers need to hold licenses or certifications differ based on where you live and the type of drain pipe installed. Municipalities have varying rules and regulations about who can and can&rsquo;t perform plumbing work. However, we recommend hiring a certified plumber to install or modify your drain lines. Licensed plumbers will perform a high-quality, professional installation, which translates to a lower risk of clogs and leaks in the future. Use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to confirm the license status of your potential plumber before hiring them to install your drain pipe.</p></div>

Q: What do I do if the shut-off valve for the kitchen sink isn't working?

• <div><p>If the shut-off valve to your kitchen sink appears to be stuck or broken, there's no need to panic! The workaround is to turn off the main valve that supplies water to your entire household. This valve is located along the main water line. Of course, it's also important to have a plumber repair the malfunctioning shut-off valve under your kitchen sink because this indicates a problem. </p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of a wall-hung toilet?

• <div><p>Even though they&rsquo;re modern-looking, easier to clean, can be hung at any height, and help save space compared to traditional toilets, wall-hung toilets have some downsides. They&rsquo;re more expensive than standard toilets, sometimes by a few hundred dollars. They&rsquo;re also difficult to install and may require major plumbing work to reroute the drain if the previous toilet was a floor-mount model.</p><p>This tight fit can make repairs more difficult. You&rsquo;ll also have to consider where you can hang them and weight limit restrictions, so they may not be the best fit for every home.</p></div>

Q: How difficult is it to replace a bathroom faucet?

• <div><p>As long as you have the correct tools, know how to turn off the water lines, and are able to work in tight spaces, replacing a faucet in a bathroom is a potential DIY job. It requires many of the same steps as replacing a kitchen faucet, but it&rsquo;s more challenging than <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-replace-shower-head.htm">replacing a showerhead</a>. It could take anywhere from one to four hours to do the job yourself, while a plumber may only need one to two hours.</p></div>

Q: How far should a clawfoot tub be from the wall?

• <div><p>Installing a clawfoot tub with a minimum of 6 inches of clearance from surrounding walls allows ample room for the faucet and pipework, makes cleaning easier, and reduces the chance of moisture being trapped between the tub and the walls. It might need to be closer if the faucet comes directly out of the wall.</p></div>

"My old water heater went out yesterday and of course leaked water all over. I shut it off and stopped the leaking. Called early this morning looking for someone to install a new one. Jim was actually sent over by another plumber who could not get to my job right away. Jim showed up, looked at the job, we talked about the options and he gave me a bid. Let to get the new water heater. We back in about thirty minutes. He had to make some changes to the water and gas lines. Added shut offs and installed new one. Took the time to explain operation and maintenance of the new one. Cleaned up the work site. Removed all debris and old water heater. I was impressed with his work and his attitude.
