"They arrived with impressive equipment. Dug up front yard and placed pipe, replaced dirt and left. Rain came and the ground gave way leaving a four foot deep trench. The work was done October 10, 2020 and it is 12/5/200 and no one has come to repair. People related to situation said he didn't add soil and use a heavy weight to repack the soil. The secretary says she will give him message but no return calls. The mailbox is leaning and hole deepens the more it rains."

Drain Pipe Installation questions, answered by experts

No, you don’t need plumbing experience to install a faucet, but it can certainly help. As long as you have the right tools and materials, kitchen faucet installation is a manageable DIY project for people with the skills and patience to complete it.

The time it takes to fix a burst pipe depends on the location and severity of the problem. A minor burst can be cleared up in a day. But if more than one pipe burst or cracked, or the source of the burst and leak is more complex, it can take a week or longer for a licensed local plumber to fix it.

If your pipes are frozen, water won’t be able to flow—meaning your toilet won’t be able to flush properly. In basic terms, toilet bowls flush when water rushes in from the toilet tank. If the pipes are frozen, your tank won’t be able to refill after a flush. You can keep adding more water to the tank if you have access to running water with frozen pipes, but it’s certainly not a long-term solution. Your best bet is to figure out how to unfreeze your pipes and get your toilet back to tip top condition.

It’s usually best to hire a certified master plumber to perform plumbing work in your home. Certified plumbers will be able to tackle most plumbing jobs and will have experience with drainage problems, water supply pipes, and appliances. This type of plumber is the most expensive, but the price is well worth it. You could opt for a journeyperson or an apprentice, which will be more affordable, but the reduced experience means your repair may not be as high-quality. Avoid hiring a handyperson for plumbing work unless you’re dealing with a simple issue, like a clog or a leaky faucet.

When water stops flowing from your outdoor spigot, always begin by making sure it's been opened for the season. Winterized hose bibs need to be turned back on from the indoor water source in the spring. Other culprits when fixing an outdoor water spigot include:

  • Debris blocking the pipe

  • Broken washer

  • Loose and leaking packing nut

  • Issues with your home's water supply

Call a local plumber if you are not able to find the issue by opening the water valve or checking the washer and packing nut. There could be a problem further up the pipe that needs attention.
