Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Both plumbing inspection cost and length can vary widely based on the specifics of a property. For a larger home, historic home, or rental complex, a full plumbing inspection can take a full day. Put aside at least eight hours from the start of the visit to ensure that you'll be available to answer any of the plumber's questions. However, a thorough inspection of the average one-story to two-story home lasts just two to three hours.

In most cases, you can’t connect to an existing sewer line, but this is specific to new builds and additions. For example, if you add on to a home or build an ADU, you'll likely have to install an entirely new sewer line. In most places, connecting new lines to an existing line is not up to code. As such, most new home builds or additions will require proposals for an entirely new line from the construction site to the sewer.

If the drain is frozen, the pipes connecting to the washing machine are likely frozen. If the hot water trick doesn’t also unfreeze the washing machine pipes, you can gently apply heat with a hair dryer on the lowest setting. Start at the end of the pipe closest to the faucet to prevent pressure from building in the pipes, and make sure the faucet is open to drain the water as it melts.

A couple of components work together to control your shower's water pressure. A water pressure regulator, located near your main water shut-off valve, will control the pressure as water enters your home. From there, your shower valve does the heavy lifting. Other factors that impact water pressure include the type of showerhead you install (rain showerheads tend to have lower water pressure than traditional wall-mounted showerheads) and whether the local building code requires a flow restrictor.

Plumbers typically install and run gas lines. While most qualified local plumbers can handle this job, you might consider hiring a natural gas line plumber who specializes in this work. Before starting any project, it's best to check with your local utility company. They can offer recommendations for licensed plumbers who are authorized to pull permits and ensure the installation is done correctly. Regardless of who you hire, always verify that they have the proper licenses and credentials for working with gas lines.
