Q: How do you tell if your shower valve is bad?

• <div><p>Shower valves divert water between your tub spout and your showerhead, so the most common symptom of a bad valve is water coming from both fixtures simultaneously. You may also find that you can no longer switch the water back and forth between the showerhead and the tub filler if the valve is broken. </p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between plumbing in traditional homes and manufactured homes?

• <div><p>The most significant difference between a standard plumbing system and a manufactured (mobile) home is the size and location of the pipes. In standard builds, the pipes run through the walls, whereas in a mobile home, they run through the floor. </p></div>

Q: What temperature do pipes freeze in a house?

• <div><p>Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, but the actual <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-temperature-pipes-freeze.htm">temperature that can cause frozen pipes</a> can vary. Generally, it takes 12 hours for pipes to freeze at 32 degrees Fahrenheit.</p><p>Uninsulated pipes can freeze if it&rsquo;s 20 degrees Fahrenheit or colder for over three hours. If your pipes are insulated, it can take six hours or longer for pipes to freeze. Note that some pipe types freeze more often than PEX pipes. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pex-or-copper-pipe-more-likely-freeze.htm">Copper pipes freeze</a> more often because the copper conducts energy and loses heat quickly.</p></div>

Q: Can you caulk a wobbly toilet?

• <div><p>Putting caulk around a toilet&rsquo;s base where it touches the flooring can help hold the toilet in place. A more effective way is using caulk with plastic shim wedges. Place the shims underneath the base to steady and stabilize the toilet. Add some caulk to help keep the shims in place and provide a stronger and more lasting stabilization effect.</p></div>

Q: Can you use an app to detect water leaks?

• <div><p>Some water leak detection devices use apps to make it easier to detect underground water leaks in your home. For example, you can find smart home technology that contains sensors for tracking and detecting water leaks the moment they arise. These sensors pair with an app on your smartphone to alert you of any plumbing leaks fast. </p></div>
