How do you prevent pipes from bursting?

• <div><p>You can prevent pipes from bursting by taking several preventive measures. For example:</p><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-keep-water-pipes-freezing.htm">Keep your pipes from freezing</a> when temperatures drop by setting your thermostat to 55 degrees or higher.</p></li><li><p>Open under-sink cabinets to allow warm air to flow around the pipes. </p></li><li><p>Let faucets drip to keep water moving.</p></li><li><p>Add insulation to crawl spaces or pipes to keep them warm.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Will drain cleaner clear a clogged sewer line?

• <div><p>In most cases, drain cleaners will not clear a clogged sewer line, and they’re likely to damage your plumbing. Sewer lines are several inches wide, meaning any material that clogs it will need to be large. Drain cleaner can work on small clogs, but it usually won’t clear a larger one in a sewer main. Drain cleaners can also easily damage and corrode your plumbing with prolonged contact, and a clog will keep the cleaner in contact with the pipes for an extended period. Hire a professional sewer cleaner instead for a safe fix.</p></div>

Q: Should I open faucets before turning the water main shut-off valve back on?

• <div><p>It can be helpful to open one or two faucets before turning on the water main again. Turning off the main shut-off valve will introduce some air into your pipes. Having at least one faucet open should allow the air to clear as the water refills the pipes. Try to open faucets far from the main shut-off valve and on the highest floor of the house.</p></div>

Q: What’s the lifespan of an ABS pipe?

• <div><p>The anticipated lifespan of an ABS pipe is 50 years. Some factors that can cause ABS pipes to fail prematurely include improper installation, exposure to direct sunlight, exposure to high temperatures, corrosion, and clogs that block water flow. Even the way a home shifts can actually cause ABS pipes to break. </p></div>

Q: Will homeowners insurance cover polybutylene pipes?

• <div><p>No, most homeowners insurance will not cover the replacement of polybutylene pipes. These pipes are considered defective and high-risk and can cause leaks and severe water damage. They usually don&rsquo;t fall under &ldquo;sudden and accidental&rdquo; damage. Unfortunately, you most likely will need to pay for the pipe replacement yourself. </p></div>

Jon, Ler and Emanuel L were the crew who installed 5 piers on the corner of my house. They were very efficient, and left things looking exactly as before they did the job. I received updates as their work progressed.

The installer did a very good job. The only hang up was the bracket for my shower seat. The package was labeled for a right side bracket, but a left side bracket was inside the page. It was mislabeled at the warehouse. Certainly not the installers fault. Bath Planet scheduled a time to come...

"Titan did a magnificent job on my property during the past week. I needed the following done: Grading work on my 3 acre property and three different types of rocks delivered. I also needed additional black dirt brought in to make it perfect. From start to finish the communication was excellent with Will. He let me know what time they would get to my job and everything that was going on during the work process. This is something that a lot of contractors just fail to do in my past experiences. They provide top notch equipment, with many different attachments for various types of jobs during the entire process. This ensures that the job is done correctly, the first time! Lastly, customer service could not be better. They (Will and Tim) stayed with the job until I was completely satisfied. Always keeping a great attitude no matter how many questions I asked. Even going the extra nine yards finishing the job better than I expected. "
