Do I need an earthquake shut-off valve?

• <div><p>Certain cities with high levels of seismic activity require earthquake shut-off valves as part of the building code. This is especially common for new buildings, but even if it’s not a requirement or you have an older home, you still may want to get one. A seismic shut-off valve will automatically cut off the flow of gas, which could prevent fires and explosions in the event of an earthquake. </p></div>

Q: Why is my toilet constantly dripping inside?

• <div><p>While a toilet dripping on the outside can be caused by condensation, a toilet that is constantly dripping on the inside is usually caused by a deteriorated flapper. This is one of the most common types of toilet leaks. As the flapper degrades, it won&rsquo;t seal properly, and water will constantly leak into the toilet.</p></div>

Q: Why are ABS pipes no longer used?

• <div><p>When learning <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-right-plumbing-layout-my-home.htm">how to design a plumbing system for a house</a>, it's helpful to know that ABS pipes have fallen out of favor because they are less safe and efficient compared to alternatives. ABS pipes are made from a chemical called bisphenol (BPA) that may cause neurological and hormonal effects. Due to the fact that it has a lower melting point, ABS can also be flammable in high-temperature situations. Finally, ABS is prone to warping caused by heat and UV exposure. It can also fracture in frozen conditions. </p></div>

Q: Can polybutylene pipes last 30 years?

• <div><p>At most, polybutylene pipes last 10 to 15 years. The material is simply not durable enough to withstand some of the chemical elements found in our water supply, such as fluoride and chlorine. These pipes tend to deteriorate quickly and lead to leaks or even pipe bursts. If your home still has polybutylene pipes, we recommend replacing them as soon as possible to prevent major water damage in your home.</p></div>

Q: How do you remove scale buildup from bathroom faucets?

• <div><p>White vinegar or baking soda can remove the crusty white deposits that minerals leave behind. A paper towel soaked in vinegar and wrapped around your faucet can effectively dissolve scale, but can be corrosive to some materials like brushed nickel if left on too long. For materials that can&rsquo;t withstand vinegar, a paste of baking soda and water applied with a toothbrush can gently scrub away scale deposits.</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.

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.

He came out in about 2 hours and couldn't have been nicer. He replaced the section of pipe that was leaking and explained to me that contractors tend to use thinner walled copper pipe to save money during construction. He didn't take long and advised against replacing more pipe.
