Q: Why can’t I unscrew my bathtub drain?

• <div><p>The most likely reason is rust. You can try using lubricant to loosen the metal components, but you&rsquo;ll most likely need to call in a plumber to professionally sand down the rust without damaging the rest of your bathtub. If the rust is extensive, it might be <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-signs-you-need-new-bathroom-plumbing.htm">a sign that you need to replace the plumbing</a>.</p></div>

Q: How long can a house go without heat before pipes freeze?

• <div><p>Pipes in your house can freeze after six hours or so if you lose power and temperatures are below freezing. You can prepare for potential power outages by winterizing your pipes with insulation. Also, whenever temperatures drop below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, turn your faucets on very low and leave them dripping until temperatures rise.</p></div>

Q: What is used to fix a burst pipe?

• <div><p>There are several methods to temporarily or permanently fix a burst pipe. In a pinch, you can seal up a small leak with either silicon pipe tape or epoxy specifically designed for this purpose. You can also purchase a pipe repair kit that supplies a clamp and gasket to seal the pipe. In the long term, a plumber will either remove the damaged area of the pipe and add a replacement coupling or replace the entire length of the pipe between joints.</p></div>

Q: Can you use the outside spigot in the winter?

• <div><p>It is safe to use a frost-proof or freeze-proof spigot or pump in the winter if you live in an area with freezing temperatures. Otherwise, it's best to fully drain and shut down your outside spigot in the winter to avoid cracking a pipe.</p></div>
