What time of year do pipes burst?

• <div><p>Pipes most often burst during winter and early spring because those seasons experience the coldest temperatures that can freeze pipes. Pipes typically begin to freeze when the outside temperature falls below 20 degrees Fahrenheit—but it’s not a hard and fast rule.</p><p>The largest risk is any period of time when outdoor temperatures fall below freezing for six hours or more. That’s an average winter night in many areas of the United States, so it’s best to take precautions before winter begins, like insulating your pipes. </p></div>

Should I use a liquid drain cleaner?

• <div><p>No, you should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-reasons-not-use-liquid-drain-cleaners.htm">avoid using liquid drain cleaners</a>. These chemicals, often packed with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, can wreak havoc on your pipes, causing erosion and potential leaks. They’re also dangerous to your health. If you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, manual removal or a professional plumber is your best bet. Chemical drain cleaners can often make things worse, especially if the clog stays put and the chemicals linger in your pipes.</p></div>

Q: Why can’t I unscrew my bathtub drain?

• <div><p>The most likely reason is rust. You can try using lubricant to loosen the metal components, but you&rsquo;ll most likely need to call in a plumber to professionally sand down the rust without damaging the rest of your bathtub. If the rust is extensive, it might be <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-signs-you-need-new-bathroom-plumbing.htm">a sign that you need to replace the plumbing</a>.</p></div>

Q: Can you replace a 10-inch rough-in toilet with a 12-inch one?

• <div><p>You won&rsquo;t be able to replace a 10-inch rough-in toilet with a 12-inch one without paying extra to move the floor drain. In the event you decide to change the location of your drainpipe, expect to pay $0.75 to $30 per linear foot plus labor. Otherwise, it&rsquo;s more cost-effective to find a 10-inch rough-in toilet that meets your needs.</p></div>

Q: Can you set up utilities before closing?

• <div><p>You can start the process to set up utilities before closing on a new current property, but most companies won&rsquo;t turn on electricity or gas until after the closing date. You&rsquo;ll also need proof of ownership to get things going. The best way to do this is to contact the utility company as soon as possible and keep them up to date on the sale status. We recommend making contact one or two weeks before the closing date.</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.
