"Being a woman homeowner is hard. I usually have to steel myself for any home repairs I hire someone for as it usually involves a man talking down to me or assuming I’m not the decision maker. Nathan was kind, respectful, and communicative. He answered my questions as I had them, and spoke to me ad a collaborator. You would do well to hire Triangle Plumbing."

"Five Star Bath was great from start to finish. I knew exactly what features and products I was getting. Everyone communicated very well. The installers were prompt and polite. They worked hard and efficiently, did a beautiful job, and cleaned up the area perfectly. Couldn’t be happier with my new shower!"

"I looked a 6 contractors and their views but none of them except, Batcrest of Chicago showed promise. Both Don, the owner, and his wife Carole came to my home to make a presentation on the removal of my old bathtub and shower. Both my wife and I were impressed with their presentation and price quote. They both told my wife and I that their employee Ken was meticulous in his work and always clean up thoroughly, that was another good point of reference! I am grateful that we hired Bathcrest, what an outstanding job done and completed with Ken. He is everything that we needed, a person that is focused and highly skilled. Both Don and Ken worked with me as I had some changes mid-stream that I wanted focused on, safety bars, as I am a senior and down the road I may really need help. Don and Ken gave my wife and I a beautiful and safe master bathroom, more than we could imagine it's beauty, usefulness and safety. This is the kind of company that you want to hire, you won't regret my recommendation."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

For a long time, copper was our only plumbing material option. Thankfully, that is no longer the case. Copper pipes have been used since the 1940s and became most popular around 1963. It wasn’t until the 1990s that PVC pipes became popular and began to replace copper pipes. Therefore, a house built before the 1990s without recent updates will likely contain more copper pipes.

It’s sometimes difficult to distinguish a clog from a frozen drainpipe since ice technically causes a clog. If the temperature doesn’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.

You need a pipe threader tool to thread a pipe. This speciality plumbing tool comes with various size die heads to suit different sizes of pipe. The teeth inside the die heads cut through the pipe as you ratchet the die head. You can purchase a pipe threader set or rent one.

Soldering is a secure way to fix a leaky copper pipe, but if you don’t have access to a soldering iron, you can use a slip repair coupling or compression couplings. These types of couplings tighten with a wrench or by hand. If you’re looking for a temporary solution that doesn’t require soldering, you can use epoxy putty or adhesive tape.

According to the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), the distance between your trap and the vent should be no more than 6 feet. For your vent to work properly, it needs to feed into the drain line within 6 feet of trapways that connect to it. Using this formula, you should be able to determine whether you will need multiple vent lines.
