Q: How long does it take to fix a burst pipe?

• <div><p>The time it takes to fix a burst pipe depends on the location and severity of the problem. A minor burst can be cleared up in a day. But if more than one pipe burst or cracked, or the source of the burst and leak is more complex, it can take a week or longer for a licensed local plumber to fix it.</p></div>

Q: When should you not use plumber's tape?

Q: Can I replace a PVC pipe by myself?

• <div><p>PVC pipes are easy to cut out and replace if you have minimum plumbing knowledge. To replace a portion of PVC pipe by yourself, use a hacksaw to cut out the damaged portion and empty out the water. Then, attach the new pipe and secure the ends with the proper <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-pipe-fitting.htm">PVC pipe fittings</a> to prevent any leakage. </p></div>

Q: What type of plumber should I hire?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s usually best to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/7-questions-ask-hiring-plumber.htm">hire a certified master plumber</a> to perform plumbing work in your home. Certified plumbers will be able to tackle most plumbing jobs and will have experience with drainage problems, water supply pipes, and appliances. This type of plumber is the most expensive, but the price is well worth it. You could opt for a journeyperson or an apprentice, which will be more affordable, but the reduced experience means your repair may not be as high-quality. Avoid hiring a handyperson for plumbing work unless you&rsquo;re dealing with a simple issue, like a clog or a leaky faucet.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a drain pipe and a sewer pipe?

• <div><p>Drain pipes carry wastewater from sinks, toilets, showers, and other fixtures to the main sewer line. They&rsquo;re typically located within the walls and floors and beneath a home&rsquo;s foundation. Meanwhile, sewer pipes transport collected wastewater to a septic tank or a municipal sewer system.</p></div>

"We are extremely pleased with our shower installation. Our home was built in 1947 and the plumbing was horrible. Ocala Baths rerouted the plumbing and installed the new shower. Extremely professional installation, done in a timely manner. They kept the appointment times. We had no complaints at all. We would gladly refer this company for any projects. In these days and times we find very few companies we can give this high a recommendation for!"

"Zach, Dustin & Robert are consummate professionals! Zach did the initial evaluation of our crawl space, foundation, and framing and developed a solution to remedy the deficiencies. Outstanding job! Dustin and Robert implemented the solutions and in the process they identified an additional hidden issue in our floor joist. The plumber had cut away about half of a girder under a load bearing wall during construction. Needless to say Dustin and Robert developed a solution, implemented it, and literally saved our house from a catastrophic failure. These three men are an exceptional team. Their customer service skills are absolutely beyond reproach! According, they have my highest recommendation for any foundation, waterproofing or house leveling issues anyone may have!!! Great job men!!!"

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

The time it takes to fix a burst pipe depends on the location and severity of the problem. A minor burst can be cleared up in a day. But if more than one pipe burst or cracked, or the source of the burst and leak is more complex, it can take a week or longer for a licensed local plumber to fix it.

While plumber’s tape is a great solution for many plumbing problems, there are some times when it’s not the right product for the job at hand.

You shouldn’t use plumber’s tape on pipe connections in any of the following scenarios:

When connecting PVC pipes
If the pipe has wide threads, as water can still leak through the space between the threads
If the pipe has very tight threads, as the tape would prevent a proper connection
If the pipe threads are damaged, which would prevent the tape from providing a watertight seal

If your predicament is similar to any of these, a licensed plumber can help you solve the problem.

PVC pipes are easy to cut out and replace if you have minimum plumbing knowledge. To replace a portion of PVC pipe by yourself, use a hacksaw to cut out the damaged portion and empty out the water. Then, attach the new pipe and secure the ends with the proper PVC pipe fittings to prevent any leakage.

Certified plumbers will be able to tackle most plumbing jobs and will have experience with drainage problems, water supply pipes, and appliances.
