"I erroneously believed that the workman blew our outlet, but they did not. (User error!) Sorry about that. They did such a fantastic job that both the electrician and the electricians assistant who came to add the outlet separately asked who did it! They would never seen such a great encapsulation. I can not recommend them enough. The air in here is already better and it is only been two days."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Whether an earthquake gas shut-off valve is required depends on your location and circumstances. Certain cities, states, and even insurance providers mandate them, especially in areas with high seismic activity. In California, for example, while laws vary by county, most jurisdictions require a valve to be installed in newly constructed homes or when a home is sold or renovated. The Los Angeles Municipal Code specifically requires a licensed contractor for installation. Even if not required by law, installing a seismic shut-off valve is a wise safety measure. These devices automatically cut off the flow of gas during an earthquake, which can prevent gas leaks, fires, and explosions. It is recommended to check with your local building department for specific laws regarding installation, permitting, and inspections, and to ensure the valve you install is on your city's list of approved models.

While not every state requires that plumbing work be done by a licensed plumber, it’s in your best interest to find a local, knowledgeable plumber to handle your mobile home’s plumbing. Plumbing is a very complicated process, and making a mistake could cause big trouble down the line—small leaks can quickly grow into large leaks and cause massive (and costly) water damage issues.

You can fix a leaking outdoor spigot by replacing the washer, tightening the bonnet, or replacing the spigot altogether. Turn off the water supply and open the spigot to see the issue. You may need to tighten the bonnet by 1/8- to 1/4-inch of a turn. You might also need to see if the washer is damaged or worn. If those fixes don’t stop the leak, you should replace the outdoor spigot. Consider a frost-proof sillcock to prevent future freezes and leaking. 

If you're dealing with a clogged sink drain, you may be able to avoid removing the drain by using a plunger to dislodge the clog. While we associate plungers with toilets, they can do the same job with your sink drain. Be gentle, though, as forceful movements can push clogs further into your plumbing system and make them more difficult to remove. Additionally, make sure you’re using a sink plunger—with a flat bottom—and not a toilet plunger—which has a smaller bottom protruding from the larger flat piece.

The time it takes to install or replace a faucet depends on the complexity of the job. A plumber can typically replace a kitchen faucet in 30 minutes to one hour. A standard installation often takes a plumber one to two hours, which is a similar amount of time for an experienced DIYer performing a simple replacement. However, the job can take much longer if there are complications. For example, if the plumbing system needs modifications, or if you are installing a wall-mounted or freestanding model that requires opening up walls or flooring to run new plumbing, the project could take as long as seven to eight hours for a professional to complete.
