Q: Can you hear a pipe burst?

• <div><p>Sometimes when a pipe bursts in a house, it makes a clang or popping noise; however, that doesn&rsquo;t mean you&rsquo;ll hear it. Newer pipes tend to be quieter than older pipes. Plus, a pipe can easily burst out of earshot, especially if it&rsquo;s a floor or two away from you. </p><p>If you do hear an unusual popping noise, consider hiring a plumber to inspect your pipes. Most of the time, you&rsquo;re more likely to notice a burst pipe either from a visible leak or because water won&rsquo;t run out of your tap properly.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a back pressure valve and a backflow preventer?

• <div><p>A back pressure valve is a control valve used on production vessels, such as separators, treaters, and free water knockouts. The valve holds pressure until a set point is reached, and then releases upstream pressure to reset. Back pressure valves are not safety mechanisms. Instead, they are regulators designed to keep the fluid, gas, or liquid mixture in a system at a certain pressure level to prevent bursts and other incidents.</p><p>Meanwhile, a backflow preventer is a safety mechanism that kicks in when the pressure has already failed and contaminated water flows in the reverse direction. Most backflow preventers consist of two one-way valves, or check valves assembled together. This design only allows water to pass through in one direction but not the other.</p></div>

Q: What is the alternative to repiping a bathroom?

• <div><p>In some situations, you may be able to try an alternative to repiping your bathroom. If you&rsquo;re dealing with substantial clogs, for instance, you may be able to have a plumber come out and clear the clog. But if you&rsquo;ve tried other repairs and are still dealing with issues, you can opt for epoxy pipe lining as an alternative to repiping. This method coats the inside of the pipe with an epoxy to seal holes or cracks.</p></div>

Q: Why is my outside faucet so hard to turn?

• <div><p>During the winter, pipeworks constrict and don't expand until warm weather comes. If it doesn't get very cold where you live, but you're still having a problem getting outdoor faucet handles to turn, there's probably a build-up under the handle. Mineral build-up is especially common in areas with hard water. Limescale causes faucets and stems to become resistant to turning. Worn parts and debris can also make it impossible to turn a faucet.</p></div>

Q: How can you save money when hiring an emergency plumber?

Verify that your plumber is licensed before hiring
Call a few plumbers for estimates if you can afford a short delay in getting service
