Is a small dishwasher leak a big deal?

• <div><p>Yes, even a small dishwasher leak is a big deal. While it might seem minor, continuous unnoticed drips can lead to significant water damage to your kitchen floor, subfloor, and cabinetry. This damp environment is also a perfect breeding ground for mold, which can cause health issues and expensive <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-signs-you-need-mold-remediation.htm">mold remediation</a>. Remember that water and electricity don't mix—having even a small leak poses a potential electrical hazard. Addressing any leak as soon as possible protects your home and avoids costly future repairs.</p></div>

Are plumbers available on Thanksgiving?

• <div><p>Most plumbers are available to make emergency house calls on Thanksgiving, but be sure to check their availability before making a service request. Since it’s a holiday, you can expect to pay additional fees for their time and labor. Plus, you should consider tipping your plumbing professionals extra for working on your pipes during a holiday.</p></div>

Q: Will water pipes unfreeze on their own?

• <div><p>Water pipes will unfreeze once temperatures stay above freezing long enough to thaw. As things warm up, you might hear gurgling and banging sounds from the pipes. It can take a while for the pipes to unfreeze, and they won&rsquo;t without help if temperatures stay below freezing. Open cupboard doors, turn up the heat, and get out hair dryers, heat guns, space heaters, and heat lamps to speed up the thawing process. If you live where it&rsquo;s frequently below freezing, consider whether <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/is-pipe-insulation-worth-it.htm">pipe insulation is worth installing</a>.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to turn off frost-free faucets in the winter?

• <div><p>Frost-free faucets should not require <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/winterize-your-outdoor-plumbing.htm">outdoor pipe winterization</a> when installed properly. The design of a frost-free spigot ensures that water flows out of the spout instead of sitting inside. Additionally, the shutoff valve for the pipe lives inside your home at the end of a long supply pipe, keeping the waiting water from freezing in outdoor temperatures.</p></div>

Q: What year did they stop using polybutylene pipes?

• <div><p>The use of polybutylene pipes stopped in mid-1996 in the U.S., following a class action lawsuit that was filed against polybutylene plumbing manufacturers. Homes built between 1978 and 1996 are most likely to have polybutylene plumbing. </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.
