Q: Why and when would I need a sewage ejector pump?

• <div><p>A sewage ejector pump is necessary if you have any plumbing fixtures, such as a bathroom, laundry room, or sink, located below the level of your home's main sewer line.

Without an ejector pump in this situation, wastewater would have no way to exit and would eventually back up, causing a sewage overflow or flooding in your basement.

Q: Is it better to repair or replace a toilet?

• <div><p>In most cases, it&rsquo;s better to repair a toilet than to replace it. Fixing issues like low water levels, running water, and flushing problems is less expensive than buying a new unit. Start thinking about replacement if the toilet is cracked, using excessive amounts of water, or is over 15 years old. Newer models are more water-efficient and clog less often than older models. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take a plumber to install a pedestal sink?

• <div><p>On average, it takes <b>four to eight hours</b> to install a pedestal sink. However, several factors will influence how much time it takes to install a pedestal sink, including:</p><ul><li><p>A replacement will take longer to put in than a new install</p></li><li><p>The size and weight of the pedestal sink&mdash;a pro may need an apprentice for help</p></li><li><p>It will take longer to change the sink type vs. replacing the pedestal with a duplicate</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to replace a toilet?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-reasons-replace-your-toilet.htm">Replacing a toilet</a> costs between <b>$275 and $480</b> in most cases, and the average cost sits around <b>$375</b>. This includes removing the old toilet and installing the new toilet. Your price could be significantly higher if you invest in a high-quality brand, need the replacement done on an emergency basis, or replace your toilet as a part of a larger bathroom remodel that demands additional work. </p></div>

Q: Does flushing a clogged toilet make it worse?

• <div><p>Yes, continuing to flush a clogged toilet is not likely to break up the clog. Instead, it will continue to put pressure on the clog while filling the bowl with more water, which can potentially cause the toilet to overflow&mdash;leading to an even bigger mess. Rather than repeatedly flushing, use a toilet plunger or plumber&rsquo;s snake to dislodge the clog. </p></div>
