How do I know what size pipe I have?

• <div><p>In the best-case scenario, the pipe size is written on the side of the pipe. You’ll often find this with different types of plastic piping like PVC, PEX, or CPVC. For other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/copper-pipes-type.htm">types of pipes</a>, you’ll have to measure. You can measure the outside circumference with a soft tape measure, then divide your measurement by pi. From there, you’ll have to use a conversion chart to get the nominal pipe size (the size you’d buy in the store).</p></div>

Can pipes freeze if the water heater is off?

• <div><p>Your pipes will not freeze just because you’ve turned your water heater off. Rather, pipes freeze when temperatures outside drop below freezing and the pipes are not properly insulated. In fact, leaving your faucets trickling with warm water (from the water heater) is one of the best ways to prevent your pipes from freezing in the winter.</p><p>Your water heater itself may have problems in the cold, so it’s important to winterize it each year. In addition, keep an eye on it throughout the year for problems and address any issues accordingly. For instance, here’s what to do if your <a href="https://angi.com/articles/water-heater-leaking-from-top.htm">water heater is leaking from the top</a>.</p></div>

Q: Can you drain a water heater without turning off the water?

• <div><p>No&mdash;you should always shut off the power and the water supply to the tank. Shutting off the water ensures that your water heater won&rsquo;t continuously refill while you are trying to drain it, which would likely cause a big mess! Make sure to allow the hot water to cool completely before continuing the process of draining the heater.</p></div>

Q: What are the brown hard water stains in my toilet?

• <div><p>Brown stains in your toilet bowl are most likely limescale. Limescale happens from lime being left behind from hard water evaporating. Once dried out, the minerals also catch dirt and bacteria which eventually accumulate into the brown or blackish stain you see in your toilet. To remove thick and hard limescale from your toilet, use a mixture of vinegar, lemon juice, and baking soda, and scrub with a metal scrubbing brush.</p></div>

Q: What is the most common reason a toilet won't stop running?

• <div><p>The most common reasons a toilet won&rsquo;t stop running are a faulty flapper or fill valve, improper fill height, or incorrect chain length. Luckily, all these issues are relatively easy to fix with parts you can find at a local hardware store. You can also call a plumber or toilet repair professional to solve the problem.</p></div>

"My wife is happy so bonus. But seriously It was like a swamp, but now it is nice and dry and my basements moisture is controlled. The front side area by the driveway is now nice and clear and level. Once the grass comes in, it will look amazing. Huge help. polite and respectful crew. Super glad I spent the money to have it professionally done. I’d probably still be digging a year later. Thanks!"
