Q: Can you install a toilet without a sewer line?

• <div><p>The most practical and common setup is a toilet that connects with the sewer line or a septic tank. However, it is possible to install a toilet without a sewer line, and this can be particularly helpful in basements with no or outdated plumbing. An increasingly popular option is an environmentally friendly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-composting-toilet-and-does-it-work.htm">composting toilet</a>.

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: What are the most common pool leak locations?

• <div><p>Pool leaks most commonly occur around the joints of your pool, such as around the skimmer, return line entrance, main drain, or the lining of the floor tile. Tears are also common in vinyl liners between five and 20 years after installation. While leaks in pool piping are common, it does happen, and so they should be tested after you've ruled out other possibilities. </p></div>
