Q: My kitchen is flooding. What should I do?

• <div><p>If your kitchen is flooding, first turn off the water supply and electricity before entering the room. Next, focus on immediate flood control by cleaning up any standing water with a sump pump or wet-dry vacuum to prevent long-term water damage to your home. Open your windows and run any dehumidifiers you have handy. Finally, call a professional plumber to help find the source of the flood and repair it.</p></div>

Q: When should you call a plumber for a clogged drain?

• <div><p>If you try a drain snake and various DIY methods for unclogging drains to no avail, bring in a professional plumber to assess the situation. Also, if multiple drains in your home are backing up or you smell sewage, a visit from a plumber is best. You can expect your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-drain-cleaning-cost.htm">drain cleaning costs</a> to fall around <b>$250</b>, and this can include an assessment of what&rsquo;s caught in your plumbing and if there&rsquo;s a larger, underlying problem. You should also consider calling a pro if you need to snake a toilet, as DIYing this could lead to a cracked fixture.</p></div>

Q: How do you drain a washing machine mid-cycle?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll need to stop or pause the machine using its control panel to start the draining process mid-cycle. Remove the items inside, turn off the power to the machine, and then follow the steps above to drain the machine manually.</p></div>

Q: What is the fastest way to empty a hot tub?

• <div><p>You can drain a hot tub very quickly by using a submersible pump rather than the hose-sized drain at the bottom exterior of the tub. A pump can move up to 30 gallons per minute, draining your hot tub in no time. Using the regular drain can take up to two hours.</p></div>

Q: What preventive measures can avoid future drain clogs?

• <div><p>Regular maintenance, such as not disposing of grease or coffee grounds down the sink and routine use of strainers, can prevent clogs.</p></div>
