Q: What’s the best method to clear hair out of a drain?

• <div><p>While there is no specific &ldquo;best&rdquo; method to clear hair out of a drain, several options work well. Using a combination of baking soda and vinegar to dissolve the hair clog is a great and easy way to help clear the drain. Drain snakes are also effective for more severe clog buildups. </p></div>

Q: Can frozen pipes cause a toilet to stop working or become blocked?

• <div><p>Yes, frozen pipes can prevent a toilet from working correctly. If the pipes are frozen, water cannot flow, which means your toilet tank won't be able to refill after a flush. This will prevent the toilet from flushing again. Depending on which lines are frozen, the ice can also block the drain pipe, preventing water from flushing away.</p><p>As a temporary workaround, you can manually add water to the tank for each flush. To clear a frozen drain pipe, you can try filling the toilet bowl or tank with warm water and flushing to help thaw the ice. However, the best long-term solution is to unfreeze the pipes to get your toilet back in working order.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain commercial plumbing?

• <div><p>Schedule regular inspections, fix minor issues promptly, and ensure proper drainage.</p></div>

Q: How long does a burst pipe take to do serious water damage?

• <div><p>A burst pipe can cause serious water damage within <b>24 hours</b>. Once a leak or flood starts, mold can develop, floors and walls can become saturated, electronics can be damaged, and structural issues can occur. This process may be accelerated depending on the severity of the burst pipe. Call an emergency plumber immediately when a pipe bursts in your home.</p></div>

Q: Should I use a liquid drain cleaner?

• <div><p>No, you should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-reasons-not-use-liquid-drain-cleaners.htm">avoid using liquid drain cleaners</a>. These chemicals, often packed with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, can wreak havoc on your pipes, causing erosion and potential leaks. They&rsquo;re also dangerous to your health. If you&rsquo;re dealing with a stubborn clog, manual removal or a professional plumber is your best bet. Chemical drain cleaners can often make things worse, especially if the clog stays put and the chemicals linger in your pipes.</p></div>
