Q: Will vinegar hurt PVC pipes?

• <div><p>No, vinegar won't hurt PVC pipes. While vinegar is acidic, it&rsquo;s not caustic enough to damage PVC. Pouring baking soda and vinegar down your drains is a great DIY solution for clearing minor clogs. If the problem isn&rsquo;t resolved with vinegar and baking soda, it&rsquo;s likely time to call in a pro. Avoid using more caustic solutions like drain cleaners, as these will damage PVC pipes, especially if there&rsquo;s a clog.</p></div>

Q: How do you tell if a drainpipe is frozen or clogged?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s sometimes difficult to distinguish a clog from a frozen drainpipe since ice technically causes a clog. If the temperature doesn&rsquo;t tip you off, there are a few additional signs that your pipe is frozen. Look for condensation and frost around the pipes. Ice in pipes can cause a banging or clanking noise as opposed to a clog from a softer material.</p></div>

Q: Can you install your own kitchen sink?

• <div><p>If you have the patience and help to install a kitchen sink, you can do it yourself. This DIY project works best when replacing a sink that fits the existing hole, and the fittings and plumbing are in good condition. If you're worried about the plumbing's condition or aren't sure how to shut the water and power off to the garbage disposal and dishwasher, it's best left to a sink installation pro. </p></div>

Q: What type of bathtub faucet do I have?

• <div><p>Knowing which <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/bathtub-faucet-types.htm">type of bathtub faucet</a> you have is the first step toward finding a replacement. The faucet can be deck mount&mdash;meaning installed on the tub itself&mdash;or wall mount&mdash;meaning installed in the wall. Some bathtub faucets are freestanding and installed on the floor. There are also single- and double-handle models. Some faucets have a diverter on the spout to move the water from the showerhead to the bathtub spout, while others have a third handle that acts as a diverter.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best method to clear hair out of a drain?

• <div><p>While there is no specific &ldquo;best&rdquo; method to clear hair out of a drain, several options work well. Using a combination of baking soda and vinegar to dissolve the hair clog is a great and easy way to help clear the drain. Drain snakes are also effective for more severe clog buildups. </p></div>

"The people on the phone and the workers that worked at my house were fantastic. Damien and Ernest were the installer's top rate people. Jack, their license plumber was polite and funny. The only person we didn't care for was Keith He only stopped by to look at what was going on. He was a little rude to my wife and Made her feel Like she was second class in her own home.
