Q: How long can a water leak go undetected?

• <div><p>Depending on the location of the water leak, it could go undetected for weeks, months, or even years in some extreme cases. Most homeowners who have plumbing leaks have slow drips, so you might not see signs of damage until they become severe problems. It&rsquo;s a good idea to have a plumbing inspection done annually and to take steps yourself to check for leaks, including inspecting your floor, walls, and ceilings for signs of water damage, monitoring your utility bills, and looking for water around appliances and fixtures.</p></div>

Q: Is pipe measured by ID or OD?

• <div><p>In North America, pipe measurements are listed as the nominal pipe size (NPS). This measurement refers to the outside diameter. As an example, a 1/2-inch copper pipe has an outside diameter of 5/8 of an inch. If a hardware store lists a pipe as having a 2 NPS, it means that all the pipes with this measurement have a 2 ⅜-inch outside diameter, regardless of wall thickness and inside diameter.</p></div>

Q: Do toilet tank bolts need sealant?

• <div><p>Sealant doesn&rsquo;t need to be applied to the bolts, but it can be a good way to stop an active leak in the moment. However, don&rsquo;t rely on it as a cure-all; instead, make sure to fix the problem at the source by changing or tightening the bolts. </p><p>If you do use sealant, make sure to spread it thickly and evenly across the bolts and the tank's porcelain. </p></div>

Q: Do you need a plumber to install a fridge water line?

• <div><p>While you can complete this task if you have some DIY knowledge, it is recommended that you hire a plumber to ensure that the work is done correctly and safely.

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.
