What are the differences between biodegradable and conventional drain cleaners?

• <div><p>Conventional drain cleaners, like you might buy at the grocery store, use bleach (sodium hydroxide) as the main ingredient. On the contrary, biodegradable drain cleaners use gentler ingredients such as baking soda, vinegar, and boiling water to clear out drains. </p><p>Bleach is extremely corrosive and releases harmful gasses—hence the need for wearing safety protections like rubber gloves, eye goggles, face masks, and long sleeves and properly ventilating the room while using bleach. Biodegradable cleaners, however, don’t use bleach. Therefore they are safer to use, especially if you have a house full of children.</p></div>

Q: Will air in water pipes go away?

• <div><p>If your pipes are newly installed, or you recently had plumbing work done, it's normal to have some air in the pipes, which will likely work its way out naturally after using the plumbing a few times. But if you continually hear banging or gurgling due to air bubbles, you might have an air leak, which is best addressed by a plumber. </p></div>

Q: Why is the AC drip pan not draining?

• <div><p>An AC drip pan may stop draining if there&rsquo;s a clog where the drip pan connects to the drain line. Clogs can form from a lack of cleaning or from rust or corrosion buildup. Cleaning the drip pan at least once per month lowers the chances of debris clogging the drain line. </p></div>

Q: Do water bugs come up drains?

• <div><p>Yes, drains are one common entry point for water bugs. However, water bugs may enter your home through various locations including doors, windows, pipes, and vents. Water bugs are drawn to the dark and moist atmosphere drains provide, and can easily find their way into your home through sewer drain pipes. You can stop water bugs from entering through drains by regularly cleaning your drains and repairing faulty drainage systems. </p></div>

Q: Can frozen pipes be a reason for toilet problems?

• <div><p>If your pipes are frozen, water won&rsquo;t be able to flow&mdash;meaning your toilet won&rsquo;t be able to flush properly. In basic terms, toilet bowls flush when water rushes in from the toilet tank. If the pipes are frozen, your tank won&rsquo;t be able to refill after a flush. You can keep adding more water to the tank if you have access to running water with frozen pipes, but it&rsquo;s certainly not a long-term solution. Your best bet is to figure out <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-do-if-your-pipes-freeze.htm">how to unfreeze your pipes</a> and get your toilet back to tip top condition.</p></div>

They put in a pipe with calking, instead of a threaded drain. The shower leaked, ruined our subfloor and tile, and we are now replacing the entire bathroom, including the floors. The current plumbers disclosed to us what shoddy work they did. They also did not support the shower, so it got big...

The service tech was very prompt, friendly, worked quickly and got the job done in about 2 hours. He cut out old copper pipe that was leaking and installed new copper pipe with shut off valves. Tested and re checked for leaks before he left. Great job. Plan on using them in the future.
