Should I contact an emergency plumber?

• <div><p>While flooding is always cause for alarm, certain situations are considered more urgent than others. If there is water pooling anywhere in your basement, it’s time to call a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/emergency-plumbers/">local emergency plumber</a> ASAP. Standing water in your basement could be from a plumbing leak or from cracks in your foundation—either situation can go from minor to major very quickly. On average, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/emergency-plumber-cost.htm">cost to hire an emergency plumber</a> ranges from <b>$100 and $500</b>, depending on the scope of the repair and when you call them—calling an emergency plumber on the weekend or on a holiday will cause the rate to jump. </p></div>

What should the pipe size be for the main water line to the house?

• <div><p>The standard size of a pipe for the main water line ranges between 3/4 inch to 1 inch in diameter, but ultimately, the size will depend on your household size and its square footage. Depending on the size of the property, the water line size can range upwards to 1.5” in diameter for a very large house nearing 10,000 sq. ft. Incorrect pipe sizing can lead to potential damages and leaks. To avoid incorrect sizing, consider getting help from a local plumbing professional who can help you choose the right size and material for your pipe.</p></div>

Q: Is it necessary to have a sink drain stopper?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s necessary to have a sink drain stopper. While your sink will still work without a stopper, a stopper is necessary to keep things other than water from going down into your pipes and potentially clogging them. It prevents <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/plumbing-problems.htm">plumbing problems</a> by keeping out unwanted debris and objects like hair, soap, toothpaste, dirt, and jewelry.</p></div>

Q: What is the air admittance valve on a washer drain?

• <div><p>The air admittance valve, or AAV, is a spring-loaded mini-vent that sits right next to your washer. It acts in place of a standard vent stack connection, opening to let air into the drain whenever pressure builds up. It otherwise stays closed to prevent sewer gas from escaping into your home. This gives the washer&rsquo;s plumbing system the air it needs when water enters or drains.</p></div>

Q: How can I tell if pipes need replacing?

• <div><p>Besides opting for a professional inspection, there are some other telltale signs that a pipe in your home is ready to go. Keep an eye out for signs of leaks and spot-check exposed areas of piping. Musty smells, spots on your walls, and dripping sounds are signs an unseen pipe has a leak, for example. You can also check the tubing for stains, flaking, and discoloration, all of which are signs of corrosion.</p></div>
