Q: How can you switch to city water from well water?

• <div><p>Switching to city water from well water requires running a private main service line from the closest main city line to your home. When comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-difference-between-city-water-and-well-water.htm">well water versus city water</a>, city water is routinely tested and readily available but can be more expensive than well water. </p></div>

Q: Should I use a liquid drain cleaner?

• <div><p>No, you should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-reasons-not-use-liquid-drain-cleaners.htm">avoid using liquid drain cleaners</a>. These chemicals, often packed with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, can wreak havoc on your pipes, causing erosion and potential leaks. They&rsquo;re also dangerous to your health. If you&rsquo;re dealing with a stubborn clog, manual removal or a professional plumber is your best bet. Chemical drain cleaners can often make things worse, especially if the clog stays put and the chemicals linger in your pipes.</p></div>

Q: Do linear drains clog easier?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;re also longer than other drains, allowing for more space to let debris fall into the drainpipe. </p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;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>

"Bath Planet came out and remodeled my Bathroom Shower, they were professional, and they did this with in 4 hours, they cleaned up after themselves. We had odd shaped walls but they handled this professionally. Mike the installer was professional, but he did a quality job, he also run into a little plumbing problems, so I had to get my own plumber there to help them out, otherwise everything was good. I am happy so far, it is been 2 weeks of using my new shower and so far so good, very easy cleanup, just wipe down which I Love!!"
