Snakes can occasionally enter homes through shower drains, although it’s quite rare. This can happen when they follow sewer pipes or accidentally find their way into plumbing systems. To minimize the risk, consider installing drain covers or stoppers on your shower drains. Always keep drains closed when they’re not in use, especially in areas where snakes are known to be active.

Yes, pop-up drains commonly get clogged with hair, soap scum, and toothpaste. It is important to know how to properly clean the drain or get professional help to ensure it remains clear and can drain water effectively.

The first step to clearing the air in a line is to locate the cause. This is usually a blockage in either the drain or the venting system. Once you clear the issue, flush the system by actually flushing the toilets repeatedly. This should allow the trapped air to escape, thus clearing the lines. Don’t be surprised if there is increased bubbling as the air makes its way through the system. 

When a pipe bursts in your home, you should cut off the water supply to the broken pipe as quickly as possible. Sometimes you can do this by turning off an isolation valve between the burst pipe and the main water line. If a pipe bursts under your kitchen sink, for example, you should have an isolation valve in the area. However, if you can't see the burst pipe or if it involves a large water supply pipe, using the main shut-off valve is the best option to quickly stop the flow of water.
