Q: What is a professional drain cleaner?

• <div><p>A professional drain cleaner is a plumber or specialized drain cleaner with the necessary tools to unclog drains and tiles to keep waste water flowing out to the septic tank or city sewer for processing. Keeping wastewater from backing up into your home helps keep you and your family safe from potential contamination and sickness. These pros can help resolve nearly any drain situation in a safe and efficient manner.</p></div>

Q: What is the most common plumbing item to fail in a residential home?

• <div><p>Many parts of your plumbing system can fail, but clogged drains are one of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/plumbing-problems.htm">biggest plumbing problems</a> you&rsquo;ll likely encounter. From your kitchen sink, bathroom sink, or bathtub, there are plenty of opportunities for gunk, hair, food scraps, and more to get stuck in drains. When this happens, water will slowly drain, leading to standing water, bad odors, drain flies, and other issues.</p><p>Many homeowners can handle a minor clog themselves, but if you have a clog in your main line, you&rsquo;re best off hiring a local plumber to get the drain back to its normal flow rate.</p></div>

Q: Do you need plumber’s putty to install a sink drain?

• <div><p>No, you don&rsquo;t need to use plumber&rsquo;s putty to install a sink drain. Other options are available, such as silicone putty or silicone caulk. Plumber&rsquo;s putty is the traditional method and it&rsquo;s easier to work with and easier to remove. It doesn&rsquo;t need to dry before using. Silicone putty should dry before you use the drain. </p></div>

Q: Can you convert a gravity-flush toilet to a pressure-assist toilet?

• <div><p>No, you can&rsquo;t convert a gravity-flush toilet to a pressure-assist toilet. Pressure-assist toilets include a tank-within-the-tank, and a standard gravity-flush toilet doesn&rsquo;t have a capability to include the additional tank. If you want the benefits of a pressure-assist toilet, you&rsquo;ll have to make the investment in a new one. </p></div>

Q: How do you get the rotten egg smell out of a drain?

• <div><p>That pungent rotten egg smell coming from your drain is likely the buildup of biofilm&mdash;hair, skin, and soap scum that turns into a black sticky mess. In this case, pouring down near-boiling water, baking soda, and white vinegar will remove the smell. Keep in mind that a rotten egg smell is occasionally a sign of larger <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/warning-signs-main-sewer-line-clog.htm">sewage line clogs</a> and other related issues.</p></div>
