Liquid drain cleaners are harsh chemicals that can erode your pipes. To treat a slow drain or for preventative maintenance, pour hot water down the drain to break up gunk and help move it along. Make sure the water isn’t boiling hot (keep it under 140 degrees Fahrenheit) if you have plastic pipes. However, you’ll need to pull the clog out for bigger backups. 

No, shower valves and cartridges are not universal. When researching the type of shower valve you need, make sure you get the model number of the old valve or cartridge and match it to the new one. Otherwise, it might not fit. To find the model number, check to see if the old part has a brand or serial number stamped on it. If you can’t find that number, contact the manufacturer or check their website to see which valves and cartridges fit together.

The size of the pipe you use for your shower depends on the part of the shower you’re installing. Shower drainpipes have a 2-inch diameter, and the water supply lines (both hot and cold) have a ½-inch diameter. You may want to slightly increase the size of the vertical pipe if you have dual showerheads. Check the local building code prior to installation for guidance.

The water pipe from your washing machine is one of the many components that can freeze during winter conditions, causing pipes to burst. Frozen water pipes in your washing machine can result in damage to your machine, plus other unfortunate results like flooding and water damage. 

The first thing to consider when converting a tub into a shower is whether you’d like to simply change out the tub or undertake a complete bathroom remodel. If you’re unsure, reviewing bathroom remodeling ideas can help you decide whether you’re satisfied with your space or could use a change. From there, decide if you’ll handle the job yourself or hire a pro, and then set a budget.
