Q: Does homeowners insurance cover burst pipes and the resulting water damage?

• <div><p>Most homeowners and many renters insurance policies cover the cost of damage from a burst pipe, as it is typically considered a sudden and accidental event. This coverage often includes not only the plumbing repair itself but also the cost to repair or replace other parts of your home damaged by the water, such as drywall and flooring. However, every policy is different, so it is wise to consult your insurance company to understand the specifics of your coverage and any potential out-of-pocket costs.</p></div>

Q: Do polybutylene pipes need to be replaced?

• <div><p>Yes, polybutylene pipes absolutely need to be replaced. These pipes do not last long and pose major threats of leaks and bursts because they cannot withstand the elements found in municipal water, such as chlorine and fluoride. If your home still has any polybutylene pipes, hire a plumber right away to replace them with a better, more durable type of pipe.</p></div>

Q: Can you stop a leak with enough plumber’s tape?

• <div><p>You can stop a leak with plumber&rsquo;s tape, but it&rsquo;s not a recommended way to repair a leak. To install it, you have to dismantle the plumbing connection, apply plumber&rsquo;s tape, and then re-install the pieces. </p><p>There are better options for a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-temporary-fixes-pipe-leak.htm">temporary fix for leaking pipes</a>, such as repair sleeves, epoxy compounds, or pipe clamps.</p></div>

Q: What should I consider when converting a tub into a shower?

• <div><p>The first thing to consider when converting a tub into a shower is whether you&rsquo;d like to simply change out the tub or undertake a complete bathroom remodel. If you&rsquo;re unsure, reviewing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/shower-design-ideas-bathroom-remodel.htm">bathroom remodeling ideas</a> can help you decide whether you&rsquo;re satisfied with your space or could use a change. From there, decide if you&rsquo;ll handle the job yourself or hire a pro, and then set a budget.</p></div>

Q: How do you snake a bathtub drain?

• <div><p>Start by unscrewing the overflow valve, which is located on the wall of your tub between the floor drain and the tub spout. Gently insert a plumbing snake down into the pipe, move it back and forth, and pull it out. Remove any hair, debris, and soap scum that comes out with it. Repeat the process until the snake comes out clean, and then reinstall the cap on your overflow valve.</p></div>

"I hired Neli over a week period for 3 different appliances, my dryer, washing machine, dishwasher, and even kitchen sink! I had a fantastic experience: 1. I fixed my dryer with Thomas' excellent remote guidance, changing the timer and the switch! Fabulous guidance Thomas, with lots of money saved! I learned a lot in the process. 2. I determined that there was no dishwasher leak and in the process learned how to check for leaks and trouble shoot for some common repair issues. It cost $40.00 but as I had some water on the floor, I was ready to get a new dishwasher. Now, I am confident that it wasn't a leak and caused by putting in the dishes in a funny manner and not a repair issue. I am using the dishwasher now again with no problem. 3. I determined with Thomas' help that the washing machine had a major problem and could have spun out of control into my wall....no question, it was time to get a new washing machine! This was a well spent $40.00--I even got Thomas advice on purchasing a new washing machine and what to look for. 4. I checked the drainage on my kitchen sink and learned how to empty out the "trap" and that most likely, I am okay, but what to swap out if I have continuing issues with slow drainage. In the end, I saved lots of money, gaining and learning valuable experience! Absolutely fabulous service!"
