"Jeremiah came to our house for the inspection and estimate. He was easy to work with, answered all of our questions, and happily answered follow-up questions on the phone after our initial appointment. The crew that encapsulated our crawl space and installed a waterproofing system (Steven, Brian and Brandon) was on time, professional, and all-around nice people. Steven, the foreman, did an amazing job explaining every step of the process."

Plumbing FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, a dripping faucet can increase your water bill. Leaking faucets use up more water than you’d think. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, a faucet that drips once per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water per year. If you have more than one dripping faucet, your water bill can increase even further. 

It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours to drain the water lines in a house. Larger homes or homes with more complex systems will take more time, while smaller homes with a single bathroom and fewer appliances will take less time. Turning off the water and opening all the faucets should only take a few minutes to half an hour, but the rest of the job is time spent waiting for the water to drain.

While some chemical drain cleaners with hydrochloric acid can dissolve hair, this method is not recommended as it can also destroy your plumbing pipes. A common DIY alternative is using baking soda and vinegar, which can help break down the clog but will not actually dissolve the hair. The best and safest method for clearing a hair clog is to remove it manually. You can use a drain snake, a straightened wire hanger with pliers to fish out the clog, or have a plumber use a professional auger for more severe blockages.

You can unclog a double kitchen sink by plunging the side with the garbage disposal. Cover the drain hole on the other side first to avoid creating a mess. Plunge up and down until the water starts to drain. You can also pour in baking soda and vinegar to try and dissolve a clog. 

Although linear drains allow water to flow quickly and efficiently, they tend to clog more easily than traditional drains. Linear drains are flush with the shower floor, allowing soap scum and hair to potentially build up. They’re also longer than other drains, allowing for more space to let debris fall into the drainpipe.
