Can you use PVC to run water lines?

• <div><p>PVC is best for drain or waste lines, but it isn’t a great choice for water supply lines, which tend to be highly pressurized. PVC is also not suitable for hot water lines. Instead, you’ll commonly see PVC for a toilet drain line or for plumbing vents to prevent airlocks, which can prevent water from flowing out of faucets.</p></div>

What does it sound like when a pipe is about to burst?

• <div><p>Different plumbing systems may sound different when a pipe is about to burst, so sounds alone are not a definitive indication of a burst pipe. However, dripping sounds indicate a leaking pipe, and there’s a thin line between a small leak and a bursting overflow. Metallic sounds like clanging and rattling are common when a pipe bursts, though they can also indicate a normally functioning hot water system.</p></div>

How can you test for leaks?

• <div><p>To <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/simple-leak-test-can-help-reduce-your-water-bill.htm">test for toilet leaks</a>, use water coloring in the water tank and see if the water slips into the bowl from the tank. This test will indicate if there’s a problem with the flapper or refill tube. You can also put water coloring in the bowl of the toilet to see if there is a leak there. If there is, you should see the colored water on the outside of the toilet bowl or on the floor. </p></div>

Q: Can you use PVC to run water lines?

• <div><p>PVC is best for drain or waste lines, but it isn&rsquo;t a great choice for water supply lines, which tend to be highly pressurized. PVC is also not suitable for hot water lines. Instead, you&rsquo;ll commonly see PVC for a toilet drain line or for plumbing vents to prevent airlocks, which can prevent water from flowing out of faucets.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take a plumber to install a drain pipe?

• <div><p>Plumbers will typically take <b>one to two hours</b> to install a new drain pipe, but that timeline can vary based on the area&rsquo;s accessibility, the drain length, and the type of drain line. Replacing an easily accessible p-trap under a sink could take as little as a half an hour, while replacing a larger section of drain line behind the wall could take as long as three to four hours. When hiring a plumber for your specific installation, ask them to provide an estimated timeline to get a more accurate assessment.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a plumber to install a fridge water line?

• <div><p>While you can complete this task if you have some DIY knowledge, it is recommended that you hire a plumber to ensure that the work is done correctly and safely. This is especially true if a new water line needs to by installed from scratch, as this process requires cutting into pipes or walls.</p></div>
