Q: How many water shut-off valves does a house have?

• <div><p>A house has two main water shut-off valves. One water valve location is inside the house. If your home is connected to a municipal water supply, you&rsquo;ll find it on the perimeter of the house on the side that faces the street. If your home uses well water, that valve could come in from any side. The other main valve is near where your property meets the street.</p></div>

Q: Is it hard to connect a water line to a refrigerator?

• <div><p>Connected a water line to a refrigerator is an intermediate project that&rsquo;s perfect for DIYers. If your fridge and sink already have a water line and need replacing, then this task will be even easier. However, if you&rsquo;re installing a water line for the first time, it should still be a doable project to take on. You&rsquo;ll just need to install an adapter to your sink before you can connect the water line. </p></div>

Q: Is it safe to turn off the water main shut-off valve?

• <div><p>Yes, it is safe to turn off the main water valve. As long as you don&rsquo;t force the shut-off valve and break it, you can&rsquo;t damage the water supply pipes by shutting off the water. We wouldn&rsquo;t recommend shutting it off regularly without a good reason. However, when you need to know <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/really-plumbing-emergency.htm">what to do in a plumbing emergency</a>, shutting off the water main is a safe way to reduce water damage inside your home.</p></div>

Q: Does a plumber flush a water heater?

• <div><p>A plumber can flush a water heater, but typically a water heater specialist is best for the job. Expect a pro to charge you between <b>$75 and $200 </b>to come to your home to flush your water heater, depending on where you live. While this cost deters many homeowners from performing this annual maintenance, it can extend the water heater&rsquo;s lifespan by years, making it worth the additional cost. While you can hire a water heater specialist to handle this maintenance, this is a job most homeowners can perform on their own. </p></div>

Q: How do you hide pipes behind a pedestal sink?

• <div><p>The best option is to alter the plumbing. Moving and centering the drain pipe behind the sink usually does the trick and creates the sleek, minimalist look that pedestal sinks offer. If you don&rsquo;t want to do any plumbing work, there are a few decorating hacks:</p><ul><li><p>Painting the pipes</p></li><li><p>Placing shelves, plants, or baskets in front of the pipes</p></li><li><p>Adding a sink skirt </p></li></ul><p></p></div>
