Q: 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&rdquo; 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: Are most bathtub faucets universal?

• <div><p>While all bathtub faucets include a spout and one or two handles, they are not universal. The installation method is mostly the same, but the faucets will vary and may use different mounting systems or connections. This is why it&rsquo;s important to take your original faucet with you to the hardware store, so you can match it to the new faucet.</p></div>

Q: Can frozen pipes cause a toilet to stop working or flushing properly?

• <div><p>Yes, frozen pipes can cause a toilet to stop working correctly. If the pipes are frozen, water cannot flow, which can lead to two main problems. First, the supply line to the toilet tank may be frozen, which prevents the tank from refilling with water after you flush. Second, the drain pipe itself can freeze, blocking water from flushing away. As a temporary solution for a non-refilling tank, you can manually add water, but this is not a long-term fix. To clear a frozen drain pipe, you can try pouring warm water into the toilet bowl or tank and then flushing, as the warm water may help thaw the ice blockage. Ultimately, the best course of action is to unfreeze the affected pipes to restore your toilet to full functionality.</p></div>

Q: Where should a washing machine drain to?

• <div><p>A washing machine should drain the water used during its cycle through a drainpipe and out through the house&rsquo;s plumbing. This is the same plumbing that sinks and shower drains run to, and if the U-bend is installed correctly, it shouldn&rsquo;t smell. The total drainage from the house is then integrated into the city sewer system or, if you&rsquo;re in the country, dispersed into a septic tank. </p></div>

Q: Can you pour water in the toilet tank to help it flush?

• <div><p>Yes, you can fill your toilet tank manually to help it flush, or you can pour the water directly into the bowl to flush it manually. This will work for the majority of toilets, as most use a gravity feed system. However, you should only ever use this as a temporary solution. If your toilet tank isn&rsquo;t filling, you should find out why. First, make sure the speedy valve connected to your toilet and your water main are open. If that doesn&rsquo;t solve the issue, call in a professional to address the problem.</p></div>
