Q: What do I do if nothing comes out of my faucet?

• <div><p>If nothing is coming out of your faucet, you could have frozen pipes, a clogged faucet, or your water supply could be shut off. First, check your shut-off valves. If it's a hot sunny day, you can rule out frozen pipes and look closer at your aerator for signs of mineral deposits. Removing the aerator and cleaning it out can often return water flow. If temperatures are below freezing, you may have frozen pipes. Knowing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-do-if-your-pipes-freeze.htm">what to do when pipes freeze</a> is essential for thawing your pipes and preventing them from bursting.</p></div>

Q: What can you pour down a toilet to unclog it?

If you choose a chemical unclogging product, ensure it&rsquo;s appropriate for toilets to avoid damage.</p></div>

Q: What's the difference between a standard spigot and a frost-free hose bib?

• <div><p>The key difference between a standard spigot and a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/freeze-proof-faucets.htm">frost-free hose bib</a> lies in their design and functionality. A standard spigot is a basic outdoor faucet, while a frost-free hose bib is designed to prevent freezing and bursting during winter months. The frost-free hose bib has a longer stem that extends into the heated interior of the house, protecting it from freezing temperatures. This design allows you to leave the water supply on year-round without the risk of pipe damage in cold weather, making it a valuable choice for regions with harsh winters.</p></div>

Q: Does a flue pipe have to go straight up?

• <div><p>A flue pipe should go straight up from the back of the fireplace to the top of the chimney. Bends or kinks in the flue liner would restrict combustion gasses from flowing seamlessly out of the home, so these gasses could instead smoke up your living room and become a health hazard to your household.</p></div>

Galina Woods and Steve worked on Saturday to correct the installation of a dehumidifier and drain pipe system in my crawl space. The system is now working. The exterior drain pipe is finally dripping water. Thanks Galina, you really knew how to correct the problem.

"My experience was excellent, from initial call to completion of the work. Great team that showed up on time, conducted themselves well, and were committed to their work. Austin F.
