Q: Can you flush anything other than toilet paper?

• <div><p>Toilet paper is the only material that you should flush down toilets. Other items like wipes, paper towels, feminine hygiene products, dental floss, and medications should be disposed of in the trash. Flushing these items can lead to plumbing issues and damage to sewage systems. Grease and cooking oils should also be avoided as they can solidify in pipes, causing blockages. Proper disposal helps prevent clogs and ensures the efficient operation of wastewater treatment systems while protecting the environment.</p></div>

Q: Will a toilet leak if bolts are loose?

• <div><p>If a bolt at the bottom of your toilet tank is loose, it can directly cause a leak. If a bolt securing the toilet base to the floor is loose, it won&rsquo;t directly cause a leak but can lead to the same result over time. That&rsquo;s because the loose bolts will eventually move the wax seal or cause cracks in the bowl from the toilet being wobbly. </p></div>

Q: What should the pipe size be for the main water line to the house?

• <div><p>The standard size of a pipe for the main water line ranges between 3/4 inch to 1 inch in diameter, but ultimately, the size will depend on your household size and its square footage. Depending on the size of the property, the water line size can range upwards to 1.5&rdquo; in diameter for a very large house nearing 10,000 sq. ft. Incorrect pipe sizing can lead to potential damages and leaks. To avoid incorrect sizing, consider getting help from a local plumbing professional who can help you choose the right size and material for your pipe.</p></div>

Q: Can PEX pipe melt?

• <div><p>While PEX can't melt, high temperatures can alter its performance. The maximum heat that PEX can safely be exposed to is 180 degrees Fahrenheit. When PEX is exposed to high temperatures for extended periods of time, it may fail. While copper can withstand hot temperatures better than PEX, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pex-or-copper-pipe-more-likely-freeze.htm">copper pipes freeze</a> more easily compared to PEX.</p></div>

Q: How do you unclog a toilet when the bowl is full?

• <div><p>A bit of water in the bowl can help unclog a toilet, especially if you're using a plunger. However, if the bowl is full to the brim, you'll need to strap on gloves and remove some of the wastewater in a cup or container so it doesn't overflow when you try to unblock the pipe. If you're concerned about it filling further, manually close the flapper in the toilet tank or turn off the water supply to the toilet.</p></div>
