How do I prepare my whole house for a repipe?

• <div><p>Repiping your home creates a large mess, and you won’t have access to water while your contractors are working. To prepare, contractors will cover the floor and furniture with drop clothes. In some cases, they may move furniture to protect it and get it out of the way. They’ll then cut holes in your walls, floors, and ceiling to expose the existing pipes.</p><p>They’ll also turn off your water, but they’ll leave at least one bathroom and the kitchen functioning at the end of the day. You’ll need to plan accordingly.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t open the flue?

• <div><p>Failing to open your flue can lead to serious health hazards if you start a fire because the smoke will back up into your home. Breathing fire smoke, even in relatively small quantities, is bad for human lungs, and smoke can also irritate your nasal passages and eyes. Furthermore, smoke can cause damage to your interior fixtures and furnishings, at the very least leaving an unpleasant smoky smell for a long time. In short: If your flue isn&rsquo;t open (or you&rsquo;re not sure if it is or not), don&rsquo;t start a fire to find out!</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my HVAC is still under warranty?

• <div><p>A convenient method to verify your warranty status is by visiting the manufacturer's website and entering your unit's serial number. The relevant information should promptly appear. However, if it doesn't, there's a possibility that you may have unintentionally voided the warranty by neglecting to register your equipment at the time of installation. If you did register and need help finding the information, you may need to call the manufacturer's customer support team.</p></div>

Q: Can I inspect my own chimney?

• <div><p>Homeowners can conduct basic visual inspections and cleaning, but professionals provide thorough checks that identify hidden issues safely.</p></div>

Q: How often should stucco be inspected?

• <div><p>Stucco should be inspected yearly or every few years, depending on where you live. Stucco homes in wet or humid climates are at higher risk for damage and should be inspected once per year. Homes in drier climates can wait longer between inspections, and get one every three years or so.</p></div>
