Q: What are the three main types of shower valves?

• <div><p>There are three main types of shower valves: pressure-balancing, thermostatic, and diverter. Pressure-balancing and thermostatic valves are both considered mixing valves because they regulate water flow and temperature, but they do so in different ways. A pressure-balancing valve senses changes in water pressure, such as from a flushing toilet, and adjusts the incoming hot and cold water to maintain a consistent temperature; these typically use a single knob. A thermostatic valve uses a thermostat to precisely control the water temperature and requires a separate control to adjust the water volume. A diverter valve directs the flow of water from one fixture to another, such as switching from a tub faucet to a showerhead in a tub-shower combination.</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: How do I unclog a washing machine drain pipe?

• <div><p>To unclog the drain pipe, remove the machine's drain hose from the pipe or sink drain, being careful to contain any water in it. Next, use a plunger for sink drains or a plumbing snake for a wall drain. Test the repair by pouring a small amount of water into the pipe before trying it with a laundry load. </p></div>

Q: Can I turn the water back on at the main shut-off valve myself?

• <div><p>Yes, you can turn your water back on after you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-find-emergency-plumbing-service.htm">hire an emergency plumber</a> and this professional completes the repairs. Your plumber probably will turn on the water for you, just to test the repairs and look for any other problems. Otherwise, if the plumber doesn&rsquo;t turn it back on, it&rsquo;s safe to do it yourself. Open the valve or knob slowly to prevent an unwanted rush of air from getting into your pipes.</p></div>

Q: What temperature should I set my thermostat to so my pipes don't freeze?

• <div><p>When outside temperatures drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, your pipes are at risk of freezing. To prevent this, set your thermostat to no lower than 55 degrees. For added safety, especially when you are away from home, maintaining a temperature between 55 and 60 degrees will provide enough warmth to keep pipes from freezing and help you avoid expensive water damage from burst pipes.</p></div>
