Q: Can you fix a leaking copper pipe without replacing it?

• <div><p>If your copper pipe springs a leak, you don&rsquo;t have to replace the entire pipe. You can replace just the damaged section, either by adding a new portion of pipe or using a slip repair coupling. Nonetheless, you may want to replace your pipes if they&rsquo;re more than 20 years old or suffering from severe corrosion. A <a href="http://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-installing-or-replacing-plumbing-pipes-cost.htm">pipe replacement costs</a> somewhere between <b>$400 to $2,200</b>. </p></div>

Q: What causes a pipe to burst in summer?

• <div><p>Most people tend to use outdoor spigots more frequently in the summer. Watering plants, filling kiddie pools, having neighborhood water fights, and washing cars and pets are all outdoor activities people do when it's hot and sunny. The heat causes the pipes to expand, weakening the metal and creating cracks. The sudden spike in water use combined with this effect is why pipes burst often in the summer.</p></div>

Q: How long does a shower cartridge last?

• <div><p>The life of a shower cartridge depends on the valve type and materials, frequency of shower use, hardness of the water, and the installation process. Brass cartridges can last up to 20 years, while those with plastic components may only last 4 or 5 years. You can replace shower cartridges with plastic components when replacing the showerhead as part of a regular replacement schedule. With a brass model, every 15 years is a good standard to follow. </p></div>

Q: Should the toilet tank empty completely when flushed?

• <div><p>No, your toilet tank should not empty completely when you flush. Although the water level will dip a lot after you flush, it shouldn&rsquo;t be totally empty. If your tank is empty, you might have issues with your fill valve, float ball, or toilet trip lever. You should check all of your toilet parts to ensure they&rsquo;re working correctly and make any necessary adjustments.</p></div>

Q: Will vinegar hurt PVC pipes?

• <div><p>No, vinegar won't hurt PVC pipes. While vinegar is acidic, it&rsquo;s not caustic enough to damage PVC. Pouring baking soda and vinegar down your drains is a great DIY solution for clearing minor clogs. If the problem isn&rsquo;t resolved with vinegar and baking soda, it&rsquo;s likely time to call in a pro. Avoid using more caustic solutions like drain cleaners, as these will damage PVC pipes, especially if there&rsquo;s a clog.</p></div>
