Q: Can I shower when the water main is broken?

• <div><p>While you may have some water, it's best to wait until after the repair is complete to use your home's pipes. For one thing, the water pressure will most likely be greatly reduced, leading to a less-than-intense shower. There's also the risk of contamination from dirt and bacteria that can enter the broken water main pipe. In many cases, a pro will <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-turn-off-water-main.htm">turn off the flow of water from your water main</a> to do the repairs, so showering won&rsquo;t likely be an option.</p></div>

Q: Are the materials used for piping a mobile home the same as in a standard build?

• <div><p>Sometimes. While many traditional homes use copper, galvanized steel, PVC, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and PEX, mobile homes will typically use PVC, CPVC, or PEX. These materials are more flexible, easier to work with, and handle colder temperatures.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you drop something small down the sink?

• <div><p>Anything you drop down your sink runs the risk of damaging and clogging your pipes. Hair, bits of food, and other debris can catch on the item and build up over time, causing a clog. Even if it&rsquo;s not valuable, it&rsquo;s definitely worth trying to retrieve the item, or at the very least, asking a pro for specific advice. </p></div>

Q: What causes an outside spigot to leak?

• <div><p>That pesky faucet leak can have a few different causes, most of which are standard wear and tear that occurs over time, but that doesn&rsquo;t make it any less annoying, especially when the energy bill hits:</p><ul><li><p><b>Old washer: </b>A deteriorated washer or gasket is the most common cause of a leak. Luckily, it&rsquo;s easy and affordable to fix.</p></li><li><p><b>Old packing nut: </b>There&rsquo;s a chance the packing nut (located beneath the handle) is loose and simply needs tightening, or it has been worn down, stripped, and needs to be replaced.</p></li><li><p><b>Freezing temperatures:</b> The water sitting in your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/freeze-proof-faucets.htm">spigot over winter can freeze</a>, expand, and lead to damage and leaks.</p></li><li><p><b>High water pressure: </b>High water pressure is hard on pipes over time and can cause cracks and leaks, too.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What are the most common plumbing problems outside of the home?

• <div><p>Outdoor plumbing issues are no less serious or urgent to fix than interior plumbing problems. These problems may require excavation and lawn repair due to the plumbing often being buried underground. The most common outside plumbing problems include:</p><ul><li><p>Clogged landscape drainage: $200&ndash;$1,000</p></li><li><p>Clogged sewer lines: $60&ndash;$250 per linear foot</p></li><li><p>Corroded or rusted pipes: $1,500&ndash;$15,000+</p></li><li><p>Leaking drain lines: $200&ndash;$1,000</p></li><li><p>Leaking water mains: $300&ndash;$4,000+</p></li><li><p>Septic system failure: $600&ndash;$3,000+</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tree-root-killer-answer-your-sewer-pipe-clog.htm">Tree roots in pipes</a>: $200&ndash;$1,000</p></li><li><p>Well pump failure: $350&ndash;$1,500</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

"Technician arrived over 1 hour after the time given by office. Did not know the job specs that were given when appointment was set up. Had to return to shop as tech did not come prepared. When settling bill tech said $350. We explained that we should not have to pay road time for shop run. He called office and came back and said the cost was $350, taking the shop run off the cost. We stated that was the same cost. Tech said it was $75 for the shop run making the bill $425, so minus the $75 the bill was now $350. The cleaning of one pipe with no blockage should not be $425. Tech wore mask 2 out of the 3 times we conversed but the mask was not CDC approved, which means the customer isn’t protected. I think EcoClean needs to improve its communication with clients and needs to improve field tech and office communications."
