Q: Who is responsible for replacing a main water shut-off valve?

• <div><p>Most of the time, homeowners are responsible for replacing a main water shut-off valve. This is because the property owner also owns the water service line from the shut-off valve near their property line to their house. That means they must maintain, repair, or replace it when needed.</p></div>

Q: How do you unclog a sink drain?

• <div><p>If you're <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-clear-clogged-drain.htm">dealing with a clogged sink drain</a>, you may be able to avoid removing the drain by using a plunger to dislodge the clog. While we associate plungers with toilets, they can do the same job with your sink drain. Be gentle, though, as forceful movements can push clogs further into your plumbing system and make them more difficult to remove. Additionally, make sure you&rsquo;re using a sink plunger&mdash;with a flat bottom&mdash;and not a toilet plunger&mdash;which has a smaller bottom protruding from the larger flat piece.</p></div>

Q: How long of an auger do you need for a toilet?

• <div><p>Toilet augers are hand-held drain snakes. Most of them come with 3 to 6 feet of cleaning cable and a curved, plastic elbow sleeve to protect your toilet bowl. If your clog does not go beyond the toilet&rsquo;s wax seal, a 3-foot auger would be sufficient. Otherwise, you may need a 6-foot auger to unclog the drain.</p></div>

Q: Can I turn the water back on at the main shut-off valve myself?

• <div><p>Yes, you can turn your water back on after you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-find-emergency-plumbing-service.htm">hire an emergency plumber</a> and this professional completes the repairs. Your plumber probably will turn on the water for you, just to test the repairs and look for any other problems. Otherwise, if the plumber doesn&rsquo;t turn it back on, it&rsquo;s safe to do it yourself. Open the valve or knob slowly to prevent an unwanted rush of air from getting into your pipes.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to fix a burst pipe?

• <div><p>The time it takes to fix a burst pipe depends on the location and severity of the problem. A minor burst can be cleared up in a day. But if more than one pipe burst or cracked, or the source of the burst and leak is more complex, it can take a week or longer for a licensed local plumber to fix it.</p></div>
