Q: Is a leaking toilet bad?

• <div><p>Left unattended, a leaking toilet will eventually cause water damage or mold growth. If you&rsquo;re a homeowner, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-make-a-water-leak-insurance-claim.htm">file an insurance claim for water damage</a>. However, that can be a long and tedious process; sometimes, your insurance company may not cover the damage. Therefore, it&rsquo;s always best to fix any leak you notice right away if you can.</p></div>

Q: What are the pros and cons of hiring a master plumber?

• <div><p>The only downsides to hiring a master plumber is that they charge a higher hourly rate than a less experienced plumber. Plus, master plumbers likely have less availability, given the demand for highly experienced professionals. The benefits far outweigh the cons, though. Upsides include the following:</p><ul><li><p>More professional repair</p></li><li><p>More experience fixing your specific issue</p></li><li><p>Recourse if something goes wrong</p></li><li><p>Warranty for the work (in some cases)</p></li><li><p>Some insulation from lawsuits if the plumber gets injured on your property</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can you use too much plumber’s tape?

• <div><p>Yes, you can use too much plumber&rsquo;s tape. Adding more tape than necessary will make it difficult to make the pipe connection and has no added benefit. Only wrap the tape around a pipe thread three to six times, depending on the size of the pipe and the thickness of the tape.</p></div>

Q: How can you tell if a drain line is clogged?

• <div><p>Knowing the signs can alert you to a clogged drain line. Clogs cause slow drainage or cause no drainage (if there&rsquo;s a complete blockage). You may also notice foul odors, gurgling noises, water backing up in other appliances on the same line, or a poorly flushing toilet. If you experience any of these issues and think your line might be clogged, call a plumber.</p></div>

Q: How do you know if your toilet flange needs to be replaced?

• <div><p>A toilet flange secures your toilet in place to the floor, and connects your toilet to the drain pipe that carries its contents to the sewer. Obvious signs that your flange needs replacement include when it can&rsquo;t keep up with these two functions. If your toilet rocks back and forth or you see leaks coming from the bottom of your toilet, it&rsquo;s time for a replacement. Other signs that your toilet flange is broken or faulty may include loose tiles or soft flooring around the toilet, and sewage smells.</p></div>

"We’ve had such a great experience every time we’ve used this plumber. Most recently, I called to have new faucets installed and he was able to come out the same day, did a great job, and left everything clean. He’s also installed shower faucets for us and fixed a toilet in the past, and every time the work has been done right and stress-free. He’s reliable, professional, and very reasonably priced. We’ve been happy every single time and will definitely keep using him and recommending him."
