"Avi returned my call right away, and followed up right before our scheduled appointment. I had a leaking and corroded taco zone valve ,as well as cool to the touch radiators in my home. Avi assessed and explained the work to be done. I had many quotes from other plumbers and hvac companies. Glad I used Boss Plumbing. The pipe work surrounding the leak looks so new and clean! Best part --He showed me how to bleed my radiators. Remember you get what you pay for!"

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, but the actual temperature that can cause frozen pipes can vary. Generally, it takes 12 hours for pipes to freeze at 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Uninsulated pipes can freeze if it’s 20 degrees Fahrenheit or colder for over three hours. If your pipes are insulated, it can take six hours or longer for pipes to freeze. Note that some pipe types freeze more often than PEX pipes. Copper pipes freeze more often because the copper conducts energy and loses heat quickly.

The main shut-off valve for a sprinkler system is simply called the shut-off valve. It’s one of several valves for a sprinkler system, and it controls the water supply to the sprinkler system’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.

The key difference between a standard spigot (or regular hose bib) and a frost-free hose bib is its design to prevent freezing and pipe bursting during cold weather. A standard spigot is a basic outdoor faucet. In contrast, a frost-free hose bib has a longer stem that extends into the heated interior of the house, placing the shut-off valve inside where it's protected from freezing temperatures. This design, often combined with a downward-sloping supply pipe, ensures water drains out of the faucet body when turned off, preventing ice formation. This allows you to leave the water supply on year-round without the risk of pipe damage, making it a valuable choice for regions with harsh winters.

A sewage ejector pump is necessary if you have any plumbing fixtures, such as a bathroom, laundry room, or sink, located below the level of your home's main sewer line. Standard plumbing relies on gravity to drain wastewater and solid waste into the municipal sewer system or a septic tank. For fixtures below this level, like those in a basement, gravity cannot move the waste upward. The ejector pump provides the force needed to pump the sewage up to the main line. Without one, wastewater from below-ground fixtures would back up, potentially causing a sewage overflow and flooding. If all of your plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity is sufficient and an ejector pump is not needed.

Plumbers start out at the apprentice level and then move up through the different levels of plumbers over their careers. After being an apprentice, plumbers move to journey-level and finally, plumbers who have met certain requirements for education and experience move up to master plumber. Most plumbers working on your home’s plumbing will be journey-level plumbers.
