What are signs that your shower valve needs replacing?

• <div><p>Dripping or leaking water from the handle or dripping from the showerhead (when its off) are signs your shower valve needs to be replaced. Other signs include low water pressure and inconsistent water pressure and temperature (that isn’t caused by other factors like someone else using another fixture at the same time). Difficulty turning the valve and water not turning on at all are advanced signs that the valve is wearing out. </p></div>

Where should you drain a hot tub?

• <div><p>Where you drain a hot tub largely depends on local regulations, but you must not drain chemically treated water where it can damage the environment. Direct the water toward a sanitary sewer drain that will take it to a treatment facility. If your lawn has a dedicated drainage area that’s free from plants and foundations, you can likely drain it there. Avoid storm drains, as the hot tub water will enter waterways and could hurt aquatic life. Likewise, do not pour it out directly on any public land or where it can get into your neighbors’ property. </p></div>

Can you use hose water to fill a hot tub?

• <div><p>You can and should use a hose to fill a hot tub. There shouldn’t be anything special about the hose other than it shouldn’t be damaged. Kinks or leaks could slow down the filling process. Attach the hose to the nearest spigot and get the water flowing. </p></div>

Q: Does pouring water down the toilet help it flush?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pour water down the toilet to help it flush. For each flush, you&rsquo;ll need 1 to 2 gallons of water for newer toilets or 3 to 5 gallons of water for older toilets. Rather than dumping the entire bucket in all at once, pour the water in slowly for the best results. If you&rsquo;re pouring water down the toilet to help it flush after a clog, only use 1 gallon of hot water.</p></div>

Q: What is the main cause of bathroom leaks?

• <div><p>The main cause of bathroom leaks is seals and connectors that loosen or deteriorate over time, causing leaks to develop. It's important to stay on top of your bathroom materials, as toilets, showers, and sinks all have different lifespans. Toilets and faucets last between 10 and 15 years on average with regular maintenance, but different parts may have shorter lifespans than others. </p></div>

We had a slow drain out of the kitchen. AAA Auger cleaned it out or flushed it out. They didn't have the equipment that they needed in the truck. They had to come back on another day. My home is an older home and the pipes were an unusual size. They were friendly and honest.
