Can pipes freeze if the water heater is off?

• <div><p>Your pipes will not freeze just because you’ve turned your water heater off. Rather, pipes freeze when temperatures outside drop below freezing and the pipes are not properly insulated. In fact, leaving your faucets trickling with warm water (from the water heater) is one of the best ways to prevent your pipes from freezing in the winter.</p><p>Your water heater itself may have problems in the cold, so it’s important to winterize it each year. In addition, keep an eye on it throughout the year for problems and address any issues accordingly. For instance, here’s what to do if your <a href="https://angi.com/articles/water-heater-leaking-from-top.htm">water heater is leaking from the top</a>.</p></div>

How can you test for leaks?

• <div><p>To <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/simple-leak-test-can-help-reduce-your-water-bill.htm">test for toilet leaks</a>, use water coloring in the water tank and see if the water slips into the bowl from the tank. This test will indicate if there’s a problem with the flapper or refill tube. You can also put water coloring in the bowl of the toilet to see if there is a leak there. If there is, you should see the colored water on the outside of the toilet bowl or on the floor. </p></div>

Lawrence did a fantastic job. The 75 year old tub looks new. And he replaced the drain and overflow as well. He also sent me instructions on how to clean the tub without harming the new finish. He came on time and finished on time. I would recommend him and his company

Says he guarantees his work but when I called him to report that the hot water pipe was leaking, the showerhead was leaking, and he didn't put a p trap on the drain, he yelled at me and told me to never call him again and hung up on me. The contract said he'd: install new tiles, which...

One sewer issue was outside. Plumber located the problem which was not a blockage per se but rather and offset connection between the city sewer line and the line exiting our home. This was corrected. Second sewer blockage identified by sewer inspection turned out to be a corroded pipe on a...

Nicholas and Daniel checked things over, decided that the disposal was a goner. (It hadn't worked for years.) I had to agree with their judgment. We discussed a new one and installation (I have installed the things, but had no desire to this time); and possible necessity for further de-plugging...

The entire project only took a couple days and that was with a lot of jack hammering through concrete that was quite thick in our older 1940's basement. They had to put in a rather extensive pipe system for the stormwater discharge to the outside side of our house, but that was due to the lack...

Came on short notice (next day) to accommodate schedule. In addition to the above, Action Plumbing had to relocate drain pipe in wall and gas line that were improperly installed by renovators. Only did the tasks requested and had all parts needed for the work. About 3 hrs work-time.

I last used their services about six months ago. We had a clogged pipe and they diagnosed that and cleared it up. Their reception was excellent. The plumber who got here was courteous, polite and thorough. I felt that the price was average.

""free estimates"? No. this is untrue. They told my wife it would be $150 just to come out and take a look. Not free. Secondly, they at no point until after the work was done broke down any of the cost of what they were going to charge. We had a small basement drain unclogged. The whole thing took like 45 minutes. Then we got the bill... almost $700 dollars. Nothing itemized, nothing broken down, just a flat fee. So she called. No answer. She emailed, waited 3 days... no answer. She called again, no answer, and left a message. When they finally got back to us we were told it was this much because we were being charged for a "whole service package" including a 1 year warranty. We declined and asked repeatedly how much the warranty was, and how much the service was. They literally COULD NOT answer this. We kept asking for a simple breakdown of fees. She kept evading the question and finally just agreed to refund "$300 for the warranty". Still never got a straight answer"
