Q: Do sewage ejector pumps require maintenance?

• <div><p>Sewer ejector pumps need to be cleaned at least once a year by a professional. You shouldn&rsquo;t attempt to clean it yourself because it can release sewer gasses that are toxic to humans and can be fatal. But to keep the system as clean as possible between professional inspection and cleaning services, be sure to only flush human waste and toilet paper. Avoid flushing items that can clog the system, like paper towels, grease, oil, or menstruation products.</p></div>

Q: Can frozen pipes cause a toilet to stop working or become blocked?

• <div><p>Yes, frozen pipes can prevent a toilet from working correctly. If the pipes are frozen, water cannot flow, which means your toilet tank won't be able to refill after a flush. This will prevent the toilet from flushing again. Depending on which lines are frozen, the ice can also block the drain pipe, preventing water from flushing away.</p><p>As a temporary workaround, you can manually add water to the tank for each flush. To clear a frozen drain pipe, you can try filling the toilet bowl or tank with warm water and flushing to help thaw the ice. However, the best long-term solution is to unfreeze the pipes to get your toilet back in working order.</p></div>

Q: Can you use too much plumber’s tape?

• <div><p>Yes, you can use too much plumber&rsquo;s tape. Adding more tape than necessary will make it difficult to make the pipe connection and has no added benefit. Only wrap the tape around a pipe thread three to six times, depending on the size of the pipe and the thickness of the tape.</p></div>

Q: Why can’t I unscrew my bathtub drain?

• <div><p>The most likely reason is rust. You can try using lubricant to loosen the metal components, but you&rsquo;ll most likely need to call in a plumber to professionally sand down the rust without damaging the rest of your bathtub. If the rust is extensive, it might be <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-signs-you-need-new-bathroom-plumbing.htm">a sign that you need to replace the plumbing</a>.</p></div>

Q: Can I snake my own drain?

• <div><p>If methods like hot water or a plunger don&rsquo;t work on your clogged drain, you can snake your drain to dislodge the plug. This can be a messy process, taking some physical effort and additional time over the other drain-clearing options. You can purchase a drain snake at a hardware store and choose from handheld options or those attached to a drill. Just work slowly, and be ready to call a plumber if you&rsquo;re unable to reach the clog from your drain or P-trap.</p></div>

The work on the shower was fantastic. The convenience of being able to step into a shower instead of the old tub we had is very nice. The quality of work was very good, the installers did an excellent job. This shower was put in 7 years ago and it still looks and works great!

"Very professional, friendly, competent, and detail-oreinted shower installers. They explained everything well, made sure the grab bars were at the perfect height and places for our 90-year-old dad, started and finished the installation the same day and even wiped down our floor afterwards. Dad is able to shower safely and comfortably and he likes the upgraded showerhead. We are all very happy we chose Hill Country Tub and Shower to replace our mobile home's cramped tub and shower with a walk-in shower."
