Can a toilet and shower share the same drain?

• <div><p>Yes, and no. Your shower, toilet, and sink all connect to the same main drain, but the secondary drains going from each fixture to the main drain are usually separate. This isn’t always the case—especially in older homes—but since toilets contain black water and showers, tubs, and sinks have grey water, toilets are more regulated and come at a greater risk of contamination. It’s best to keep these drains separate using individual waste collection for this reason.</p></div>

Q: Can you pour hot water down a drain to unfreeze pipes?

• <div><p>Pouring hot water down a drain can help unfreeze drainpipes, but it may not thaw a frozen water pipe that is completely blocked further down in your plumbing. In some circumstances, it can cause more ice buildup. You may need to use another method, like a space heater or hot towel. If you use boiling water to thaw a drainpipe, make sure your pipes can handle the heat. Over time, boiling water can damage plastic pipes.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain my sink?

• <div><p>Clean regularly with non-abrasive cleaners, avoid pouring grease down the drain, and check for leaks under the sink.</p></div>

Q: What is a professional drain cleaner?

• <div><p>A professional drain cleaner is a plumber or specialized drain cleaner with the necessary tools to unclog drains and tiles to keep waste water flowing out to the septic tank or city sewer for processing. Keeping wastewater from backing up into your home helps keep you and your family safe from potential contamination and sickness. These pros can help resolve nearly any drain situation in a safe and efficient manner.</p></div>

Q: What are some uses for a spigot?

• <div><p>You can use the outdoor spigot to do many things like cleaning patio furniture, washing down driveways, or watering plants. You can also attach outdoor hoses and some sprinkler systems to your spigot, making it much easier to keep your grass and plants watered. When connecting a hose or sprinkler system to your outdoor spigot, pay close attention to the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions, as they can ensure a snug fit with no leaks.</p></div>
