Why does a dishwasher have to drain through the sink plumbing?

• <div><p>Any drain in your house requires a water trap to prevent sewer gases from entering the home. Dishwashers don’t have an internal water trap, so they must use an external P trap. The most convenient P trap for the dishwasher is already in the plumbing under your sink.</p></div>

Q: Why is there no cold water upstairs?

• <div><p>The likely culprit is an air lock somewhere in your pipes. This is especially true if the warm water upstairs is accompanied by a decline in water flow. Other causes of this issue include frozen pipes, leaks, damaged supply lines, and more. There&rsquo;s a simple DIY fix to try for air locks: Turn the hot water and cold water faucets on for a minute, then turn off the cold water and then the hot water. Repeat this process two or three times. </p></div>

Q: Are pool leaks covered by homeowner’s insurance?

• <div><p>Whether homeowners insurance covers a pool leak depends on your policy, so always check your policy documents before taking on repairs. If the leak is due to a fallen branch or a fire, your insurance likely covers it. However, your insurer likely won&rsquo;t pay for wear and tear. </p></div>

Q: Will homeowners insurance cover polybutylene pipes?

• <div><p>No, most homeowners insurance will not cover the replacement of polybutylene pipes. These pipes are considered defective and high-risk and can cause leaks and severe water damage. They usually don&rsquo;t fall under &ldquo;sudden and accidental&rdquo; damage. Unfortunately, you most likely will need to pay for the pipe replacement yourself. </p></div>

Q: Can I install my own drain pipes?

• <div><p>We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/7-questions-ask-hiring-plumber.htm">hiring a professional plumber</a> is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.</p></div>

When we had our chimney deteriorated a few years ago, we just ran the pipe, and our neighbors had it too so we got it. They didn't charge us for hook up because the pipe was already here, so all they had to do was hook us up. They just had to connect us. We don't have any problems, everything...
