Q: What is the air admittance valve on a washer drain?

• <div><p>The air admittance valve, or AAV, is a spring-loaded mini-vent that sits right next to your washer. It acts in place of a standard vent stack connection, opening to let air into the drain whenever pressure builds up. It otherwise stays closed to prevent sewer gas from escaping into your home. This gives the washer&rsquo;s plumbing system the air it needs when water enters or drains.</p></div>

Q: Do showers need P-traps?

• <div><p>The P-trap is an essential part of the shower drain and is installed directly below it. It mainly functions as a barrier, preventing sewer gases and their odors from seeping into your bathroom. It also helps catch clogs so they don&rsquo;t end up deeper in your home&rsquo;s plumbing, where they&rsquo;re more difficult to remove.</p></div>

Q: Why do snakes want to be in my toilet?

• <div><p>Since they are cold-blooded, snakes find cool toilet bowls attractive, especially during hot weather. Or they may be seeking to escape the plumbing and find a spot in your home where they can warm up on a cold night. Snakes may also be looking for food.</p></div>

Q: What are the three main types of shower valves?

• <div><p>There are three main types of shower valves: pressure-balancing, thermostatic, and diverter. Pressure-balancing and thermostatic valves are both considered mixing valves because they regulate water flow and temperature, but they do so in different ways. A pressure-balancing valve senses changes in water pressure, such as from a flushing toilet, and adjusts the incoming hot and cold water to maintain a consistent temperature; these typically use a single knob. A thermostatic valve uses a thermostat to precisely control the water temperature and requires a separate control to adjust the water volume. A diverter valve directs the flow of water from one fixture to another, such as switching from a tub faucet to a showerhead in a tub-shower combination.</p></div>

Q: Is there a main shut-off valve for sprinkler system?

• <div><p>The main shut-off valve for a sprinkler system is simply called the shut-off valve. It&rsquo;s one of several valves for a sprinkler system, and it controls the water supply to the sprinkler system&rsquo;s water lines. This valve is different from the master valve, which can also shut off the water supply in case of an emergency but operates automatically.</p></div>

"They couldn't deliver, they specified items that after months of waiting, they could never deliver. In the mean time, they directed me to have plumbing rough and done, and then when they couldn't deliver the system for which the plumbing was done, I now have to spend several thousand dollars having the plumbing redone for another system that I found out on my own. The design was okay, some of their ideas were spot on, some of them were way off but ultimately they just couldn't deliver after holding $10,000 of my money for over 2 months. I am currently in a dispute with them with American Express because they still haven't credited me back the money I paid them to purchase things that they never delivered."
