Can you damage a drain with a snake?

• <div><p>In some cases, operating a snake can damage your drain and pipes. This depends on the overall condition of your pipes and how gently you operate the auger. For instance, older galvanized pipes covered in zinc are susceptible to scratches when using a drain snake. Additionally, it’s common for newbies to apply too much force when extending the snake, leading to scratches and related damage. You can also crack the porcelain with an electric auger if you’re snaking a toilet drain. If you’re using a manual snake or auger, the risk is minimal.</p></div>

Q: Do drainage installations come with warranties?

• <div><p>Yes, many contractors offer warranties for their work. Confirm terms before starting the project.</p></div>

Q: What are common types of drain issues?

• <div><p>Common drain issues include slow-running drains, whether in a sink or shower, clogged drains, a bad smell, and water backing up into a sink, shower, or bathtub. Causes range from hair, grease, roots, or toilet paper clogging the drainpipes to flooding outside the home, which prevents sewer lines from draining properly. </p></div>

Q: Will waterproofing my basement add to the value of my home?

• <div><p>Although waterproofing your basement may not directly increase the value of your home, it will protect the value you already have by preventing water damage. A basement without any signs of water will be more appealing to prospective home buyers. A leaky basement is a major red flag during a home inspection, and it will likely reduce the amount that buyers are willing to pay.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to stay in a house with a flooded basement?

• <div><p>It depends on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/causes-and-costs-flooded-basement.htm">what caused your basement flooding</a>, the extent of the problem, and the risk of the flood continuing. If your flood is coming from a septic system or sewer line, breathing in the sewer gasses can be dangerous, so you should vacate. If the flood occurs from an ongoing natural disaster, relocating to a safe area might be wise. If you just have a plumbing leak or rainwater coming in, you can likely stay in the house if you don&rsquo;t have electrical lines down there, but make sure you call in professionals to fix the issue immediately. </p></div>
