Q: How much does an emergency plumber cost?

• <div><p>Emergency plumbers charge a significantly higher rate than for standard service, typically 1.5 to 3 times the normal hourly cost. You can expect to pay between $100 and $500 per hour, with an average of around $200 per hour. In addition to the higher hourly rate, many plumbers charge a flat emergency service or trip fee, which can be between $150 and $300. The final cost depends on the timing of the call; prices are highest for major holidays, followed by weekends and after-hours service on weekdays. For a complex job on a major holiday, a master plumber's rate could reach as high as $600 per hour.</p></div>

Q: How do you tell if you have an underground water leak?

• <div><p>An underground water leak will most likely show signs of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/signs-of-basement-water-damage.htm">water damage in the basement</a>. If you have a concrete foundation, look for frizzle lines and discoloration on the walls. Sometimes, you may be able to feel the moisture with direct touch. Also, if your basement smells musty or moldy, you might have an underground water leak that&rsquo;s causing mold to form. </p></div>

Q: How do I know if my toilet fill valve is full?

• <div><p>You can tell if your toilet fill valve is full by removing the lid and taking a look. When you flush the toilet, the float is at the bottom of the tank, the water empties, and the fill valve opens. The float rises to the top as the tank fills again with water. When the float rises to the right level, the fill valve closes; if the valve is too high, your toilet may only partially flush, requiring you to adjust the float. </p></div>

Q: Should you tile around the toilet or remove the toilet?

• <div><p>For best results, you should remove the toilet in a bathroom before removing tile or installing new tile. If you don&rsquo;t remove the toilet, it will be harder to fully waterproof the tile around the toilet, which could increase the risk of mold growth or plumbing leaks. If you have trouble removing the toilet, hire a plumber to help.</p></div>

Q: Can you replace a toilet yourself?

• <div><p>Yes, an ambitious homeowner could decide to replace their own toilet. A person attempting to do a DIY toilet installation should keep in mind that the average toilet weighs between 100 and 120 pounds. That means that you'll need to be comfortable lifting and carrying your old toilet and replacement toilet during both phases of the project. Additionally, homeowners will need to have basic plumbing knowledge to avoid<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/plumbing-problems.htm"> plumbing problems</a> that could result in messy, expensive water damage in their bathrooms. Hiring a plumbing pro from the get-go can help you avoid damaging your plumbing or your new toilet. </p></div>
