Q: Why do some old houses have a toilet in the basement?

• <div><p>Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.</p><p>Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.</p></div>

Q: Can I use chemical drain cleaners to clear clogs in my pipes?

• <div><p>Chemical drain cleaners can work to clear clogs in pipes, but their use should be approached with caution. These harsh chemicals can damage pipes over time, and they can also harm the environment. Use them sparingly and consider alternative methods such as using a plunger or a drain snake. If you have concerns about a persistent clog, it's best to consult a professional who can safely and effectively address the issue without causing further damage to your plumbing system.</p></div>

Q: How do you fix a leaking copper pipe without soldering?

• <div><p>Soldering is a secure way to fix a leaky copper pipe, but if you don&rsquo;t have access to a soldering iron, you can use a slip repair coupling or compression couplings. These types of couplings tighten with a wrench or by hand. If you&rsquo;re looking for a temporary solution that doesn&rsquo;t require soldering, you can use epoxy putty or adhesive tape.</p></div>

Q: Can you use a spray to stop a leaking copper pipe?

• <div><p>You can buy a sealant spray for a leaking copper pipe, but it&rsquo;s not a permanent solution and isn&rsquo;t usually a good idea. For the best adhesion, you should drain the pipe, let it dry completely, apply the spray, and wait for it to dry before turning the water back on. Even with proper technique, a sealant spray is a temporary fix, so you should only use this technique in the interim to prevent water damage if you&rsquo;re waiting for a more permanent fix.</p></div>

Q: Are there standard pipe sizes?

• <div><p>Yes. There are a variety of standard pipe sizes used in plumbing. The main supply line connecting your home to the street is either 3/4 or 1 inch in diameter. Supply lines are 3/4 inch in diameter. Individual components are 1/2 inch in diameter. Meanwhile, your main drainpipe is often 4 inches wide. Most shower and bathtub drains are 2 inches in diameter, most toilet drains are 3 inches in diameter, and most <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/sink-drain-pipe-size.htm">sink drainpipes</a> are 1 1/4 or 1 &frac12; inches in diameter.</p></div>

It went wonderfully. There was unexpected work once some pipe chasers were removed, and Abide charged fair prices for the additional work and still completed the project within the scheduled time.

Great! The two men who came figure out where the water was supposed to go, which was tricky with a dry box quite a long distance away, under my patio tiles, leading to a clogged pipe deep in a slopy section of my garden. They not only figured it all out, but unclogged two pipes, a drain, and the...

I've had the same drain cleared of a block twice in the past. Julio by far did the best job. He cleared the drain pipe right down to the basement. Before he left, he cleaned all the areas where he was working. If I could, I'd give him six stars. You won't find anyone better.
