Q: What can I pour down a drain to melt ice?

• <div><p>You can pour hot water down your gutter drain to melt ice and keep ice dams from forming. If the problems persist, consider investing in heat cables to run in your gutters. Heat cables can adjust based on the surrounding temperature to keep ice thawed.</p></div>

Q: Does homeowners insurance cover sewer backup?

• <div><p>Homeowners insurance usually doesn&rsquo;t cover sewer backups because it&rsquo;s typically an avoidable problem with proper maintenance. The only exception would be if the backup is occurring because of local flooding and only if your city uses a combined drainage system for stormwater and sewage. If that&rsquo;s the case, your policy should cover any resulting damage.</p></div>

Q: Should I contact an emergency plumber?

• <div><p>While flooding is always cause for alarm, certain situations are considered more urgent than others. If there is water pooling anywhere in your basement, it&rsquo;s time to call a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/emergency-plumbers/">local emergency plumber</a> ASAP. Standing water in your basement could be from a plumbing leak or from cracks in your foundation&mdash;either situation can go from minor to major very quickly. On average, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/emergency-plumber-cost.htm">cost to hire an emergency plumber</a> ranges from <b>$100 and $500</b>, depending on the scope of the repair and when you call them&mdash;calling an emergency plumber on the weekend or on a holiday will cause the rate to jump. </p></div>

Q: Is it safe to stay in a house that smells like sewage?

• <div><p>It is generally safe to stay in a house that smells like sewage for a short time, but you should get the problem fixed as soon as possible. While the level of sewer gas is usually low enough to only cause minor symptoms, prolonged inhalation can lead to headaches, nausea, or respiratory irritation. High levels of gas exposure can be more dangerous, and high concentrations of methane&mdash;a component of sewer gas&mdash;can pose an explosion risk in enclosed spaces. If you smell sewer gas in your home, ventilate the area and call a professional to locate, assess, and fix the problem, as it will not go away on its own.</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>
