What day is the busiest for plumbers?

• <div><p>When it comes to weekday work, the busiest days for plumbers are Monday and Tuesday. Part of the reason is that people discover plumbing problems over the weekend but wait for weekdays to help save money. </p><p>As for the busiest day ever, many plumbers point to “Brown Friday,” their nickname for the day after Thanksgiving. A day of guests, lots of food, and unfamiliar bathrooms can often lead to plumbing disasters, making that Friday a hotspot of emergency plumbing work. Follow our holiday tips above to avoid becoming a statistic.</p></div>

Q: Why can’t I unscrew my toilet seat?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;ve accessed the bolts and nuts that hold your toilet seat in place and can&rsquo;t unscrew them, it&rsquo;s possible that they were overtightened or that the material corroded over time, making it impossible to unscrew. If that&rsquo;s the case, you can either call in a plumber for help, or you can DIY a solution if you&rsquo;re careful. Lay down masking tape around the mounting bracket and then use the tape as a surface to lay a hack saw blade. Move slowly to cut through the bracket and bolt, being careful not to damage the porcelain in the process.</p></div>

Q: Can you drain a water heater without turning off the water?

• <div><p>No&mdash;you should always shut off the power and the water supply to the tank. Shutting off the water ensures that your water heater won&rsquo;t continuously refill while you are trying to drain it, which would likely cause a big mess! Make sure to allow the hot water to cool completely before continuing the process of draining the heater.</p></div>

Q: What happens if I don't replace cast iron pipes?

• <div><p>Replacing cast iron pipes when they&rsquo;ve reached the end of their life span is key to preventing leaks and clogs. Over time, cast iron pipes corrode and experience <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-your-sewer-line-need-replacing-or-descaling.htm">pipe scale</a>, which thickens the inside of the walls and increases the chance of clogs while also decreasing water flow. As the material deteriorates, you could experience costly leaks that increase reparation expenses. </p><p>Cast iron can last between 50 and 75 years, but it&rsquo;s still a good idea to check for leaks as your pipes approach the 25-year mark, as pipes can already show signs of deterioration within the first three decades.</p></div>

Q: Is plumbing different in a mobile home versus other homes?

• <div><p>Yes, plumbing is different in a mobile home than in a traditional home. Because mobile homes are not permanent structures, the plumbing has a unique design and is routed through a crawl space under the home. In addition, the permits and building codes for mobile home plumbing are usually different, as are the materials. Talk to a certified professional plumber who has experience with mobile home plumbing to understand the design and installation of your mobile home.</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.
