Does bleach unclog drains?

• <div><p>Bleach is generally not recommended for your shower drains. Although diluted bleach can technically help clean your drain, it will not unclog your pipes. In fact, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-pour-bleach-down-a-drain.htm">bleach can harm your plumbing system</a> because it’s so powerful. The bleach can change the color of your sink and even corrode metal pipes and fittings.</p><p>Often, people reach for bleach because it's already in their house. But it's worth getting a plunger or a drain snake for the job instead. It'll be a lot less money to buy a new plunger than to pay a plumber to repair or replace damaged pipes.</p></div>

Can you put plumber’s tape over old plumber’s tape?

• <div><p>No, putting new plumber’s tape over old plumber’s tape is not recommended. The old tape connection may not be completely adhered and could cause a leak. </p><p>Instead, remove the old tape completely, clean off the pipe threads with a clean rag and wire brush if needed, then apply new plumber’s tape to make your connection.</p></div>

Q: Can I fix a gas leak myself?

• <div><p>No, homeowners should never attempt to fix a gas leak themselves. Gas leaks pose serious health and fire hazards. Exposure to leaking gas can make you sick, and accumulated gas can ignite and explode. So always take leaks seriously and seek the help of a pro right away. While you may be able to detect a gas leak, always call a licensed professional to handle repairs and replacements.</p></div>

Q: Why is my toilet overflowing with no clog?

• <div><p>If the toilet is overflowing but there&rsquo;s no clog, that&rsquo;s a sign that the issue is deeper in the system, and plunging may not help. A blockage in your home&rsquo;s plumbing, the plumbing vent, or even city sewer lines can cause toilets to overflow. The issue could also be the toilet itself if the filler float isn&rsquo;t set to the correct height or if parts are damaged or worn out. </p></div>

Q: Can you put plumber’s tape over old plumber’s tape?

• <div><p>No, putting new plumber&rsquo;s tape over old plumber&rsquo;s tape is not recommended. The old tape connection may not be completely adhered and could cause a leak. </p><p>Instead, remove the old tape completely, clean off the pipe threads with a clean rag and wire brush if needed, then apply new plumber&rsquo;s tape to make your connection.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a shower diverter and a shower valve?

• <div><p>A shower diverter is a type of shower valve. It&rsquo;s used to direct water from one fixture (like a tub spout) to another fixture (like a showerhead). This is distinct from a mixing valve, which controls the flow (such as turning your shower on and off) and the temperature of water. Your shower could have both a diverter valve and a mixing valve. </p></div>

Blake and his team did a phenomenal job. Our house has some unique architecture and I was not sure how the gutter install would go. But Blake had a solution for every obstacle. Looks perfect and they are draining great. Water no longer pools around house.

They were punctual and got the pipe repaired. They said to replace the pipe I may as well replumb the house, which was a $5200 quote. Not sure how replacing one section of pipe should cost that much. I think they were preying on my inexperience and that I am a woman. I have a ton of plumbing...
