These valves only require a quarter turn of a handle to open or close fully.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to install a drain pipe?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-installing-or-replacing-plumbing-pipes-cost.htm">Installing a drain pipe costs</a> about <b>$600</b>, ranging from <b>$150 to $2,000</b>, depending on the type of drain, accessibility, proximity to drain lines, and whether you&rsquo;re installing new drain pipes or replacing old ones. Replacing a main drain line can cost over $2,000, whereas replacing a p-trap costs around $150 on average. Keep in mind that new water pipe installation projects are bid by fixture, like kitchen sink, toilet, or main water line. You can expect to pay $70 to $1,000 per fixture.</p></div>

Q: What size pipe do I need to plumb a bathroom?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll need two sizes of pipe to plumb a bathroom. You&rsquo;ll use a 1/2-inch pressure pipe for your supply lines that run from the fixture to the larger 3/4-inch supply lines that run through the house. For drain lines, you&rsquo;ll need a 3-inch PVC pipe for your toilet, a 2-inch PVC pipe for stand-alone showers, and a 1 1/2-inch pipe for a shower/tub combo and the bathroom sink. Each fixture&rsquo;s drain will run to the 3-inch main drain that runs through the house.</p></div>

Q: How do you remove scale buildup from bathroom faucets?

• <div><p>White vinegar or baking soda can remove the crusty white deposits that minerals leave behind. A paper towel soaked in vinegar and wrapped around your faucet can effectively dissolve scale, but can be corrosive to some materials like brushed nickel if left on too long. For materials that can&rsquo;t withstand vinegar, a paste of baking soda and water applied with a toothbrush can gently scrub away scale deposits.</p></div>

Q: How do you snake a bathtub drain?

• <div><p>Start by unscrewing the overflow valve, which is located on the wall of your tub between the floor drain and the tub spout. Gently insert a plumbing snake down into the pipe, move it back and forth, and pull it out. Remove any hair, debris, and soap scum that comes out with it. Repeat the process until the snake comes out clean, and then reinstall the cap on your overflow valve.</p></div>

"I hired Quality Waterproofing to extend a buried downspout/sump pump drain that was poorly placed by a competitor 4 years ago. The competitor placed the pop up drain 10 feet from the house in a low spot, which created a swamp. Quality did an A+ job fixing the problem. They were timely, professional and UNDER budget. Very honest and high quality work. They even did some extra sodding and dirt work at no charge."
