What causes an outside spigot to leak?

• <div><p>That pesky faucet leak can have a few different causes, most of which are standard wear and tear that occurs over time, but that doesn’t make it any less annoying, especially when the energy bill hits:</p><ul><li><p><b>Old washer: </b>A deteriorated washer or gasket is the most common cause of a leak. Luckily, it’s easy and affordable to fix.</p></li><li><p><b>Old packing nut: </b>There’s a chance the packing nut (located beneath the handle) is loose and simply needs tightening, or it has been worn down, stripped, and needs to be replaced.</p></li><li><p><b>Freezing temperatures:</b> The water sitting in your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/freeze-proof-faucets.htm">spigot over winter can freeze</a>, expand, and lead to damage and leaks.</p></li><li><p><b>High water pressure: </b>High water pressure is hard on pipes over time and can cause cracks and leaks, too.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Do copper pipes freeze?

• <div><p>Yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pex-or-copper-pipe-more-likely-freeze.htm">copper pipes freeze</a> at temperatures of 20 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. In fact, copper pipes are more likely to freeze than other piping types since they conduct energy and lose heat quickly. They&rsquo;re also more difficult to insulate, since insulation may make it difficult for heat to reach the pipes during sudden surges of cold weather.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance ensures that newly installed plumbing remains efficient?

• <div><p>Regular inspections, promptly fixing leaks, and using water-efficient fixtures ensure plumbing systems operate efficiently in the long term.</p></div>

Q: Is regrouting a shower worth it?

• <div><p>Regrouting a shower, especially if you&rsquo;re doing so as part of a larger bathroom renovation, is worth it. Not only will your shower look better overall after regrouting, but it will also become more water-resistant, decreasing the chances of water damage behind the tiles as well as mold and mildew growth. </p></div>

Q: Can you use a spray to stop a leaking copper pipe?

• <div><p>You can buy a sealant spray for a leaking copper pipe, but it&rsquo;s not a permanent solution and isn&rsquo;t usually a good idea. For the best adhesion, you should drain the pipe, let it dry completely, apply the spray, and wait for it to dry before turning the water back on. Even with proper technique, a sealant spray is a temporary fix, so you should only use this technique in the interim to prevent water damage if you&rsquo;re waiting for a more permanent fix.</p></div>

They need to explain a little more about what electrical companies mark and if the homeowner knows of anything else electrical added. When they hit my drain field pipes, they were going to cover it up instead of discussing issues with the homeowner about repairing it properly. If an issue...

Not impressed with the overall service. The carpet installers used our bathroom and did not cleanup. They left the toilet and sink dirty. Carpet remnants were left around as well.

It went great! They had all ten windows installed well before their predicted completion time so I was beyond happy with how fast they were. They cleaned everything up and the new windows look great!

They installed fascia (made repairs) and gutters with 16 inside/outside corners, not an easy task. They also installed gutter guards to complete the job. Both management and installers were polite and professional. We are more than happy with the results.
