Q: Can you fix a hole in a gas line?

• <div><p>No, fixing or patching a hole in a gas line may not seal it completely. A patch should be a temporary solution because the damaged area will be weaker than the rest of the pipe, increasing the likelihood of future leaks. Therefore, if a gas line incurs damage, call a licensed plumber and have it replaced right away.</p></div>

Q: How do you know if a hose pipe bursts?

• <div><p>There are quite a few telltale signs that you've got a leak. The most obvious ones are that water is pooling in parts of your home where it shouldn't, and the water bill is higher than normal. If you frequently hear unusual whistling noises coming from the pipes or experience a drop in water pressure, these are also signs the hose pipe burst.</p></div>

Q: What temperature should I set my thermostat to prevent pipes from freezing?

• <div><p>When outside temperatures drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, your pipes are at risk of freezing. To prevent this, especially when you are away from home, set your thermostat to a range of 55 to 60 degrees to provide enough warmth. Maintaining this temperature can help you avoid costly water damage from burst pipes.</p></div>

Q: How do you unclog a main drain without a snake?

• <div><p>If you want to avoid using a snake to unclog a drain, or if you don&rsquo;t have one, try vinegar and baking soda. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of white vinegar. Wait for 15 minutes, and then run hot water (but not boiling water) down the drain to see if the clog is clear. Repeat multiple times as needed.</p></div>

Q: Is it hard to connect a water line to a refrigerator?

• <div><p>Connected a water line to a refrigerator is an intermediate project that&rsquo;s perfect for DIYers. If your fridge and sink already have a water line and need replacing, then this task will be even easier. However, if you&rsquo;re installing a water line for the first time, it should still be a doable project to take on. You&rsquo;ll just need to install an adapter to your sink before you can connect the water line. </p></div>

"excellent. Don confirmed the origin of the leak. He informed me that this particular problem is common in the LG. He gave me directions on where to order the part. I am awaiting that part now. I had the machine already opened to the problem area so the whole process took about 15 minutes. Virtual repair is a great idea especially during the pandemic. Neli does it great."
