Q: How do you remove a drain without crosshairs?

• <div><p>If your drain doesn&rsquo;t have metal crosshairs or crossbars, you should use a tub drain extractor. These tools create a grip on the drain so you can turn it using a 1/2-inch ratchet drive, drain key, or wrench. Your drain may not have crosshairs if it's old and broken.</p></div>

Q: Can pipes freeze during the winter?

• <div><p>Yes, pipes can freeze during the winter months. If temps dip below 20 degrees Fahrenheit for six or more hours, your insulated pipes are more at risk, while uninsulated pipes can freeze if temps fall below 32 degrees for around 12 hours. Exterior pipes are more likely to freeze than interior pipes. The best way to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-keep-water-pipes-freezing.htm">prevent freezing pipes</a> is by insulating your pipes, keeping your home&rsquo;s temperature above 55 degrees, opening cabinets and doors containing pipes to promote circulation, dripping faucets, and disconnecting hoses.</p></div>

Q: How do you unclog a double sink with a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-unclog-double-kitchen-sink.htm">unclog a double kitchen sink</a> by plunging the side with the garbage disposal. Cover the drain hole on the other side first to avoid creating a mess. Plunge up and down until the water starts to drain. You can also pour in baking soda and vinegar to try and dissolve a clog. </p></div>

Q: Do matte black faucets hold up?

• <div><p>The powder coating that creates a matte black faucet is pretty durable and will resist scrapes and scratches, but because it&rsquo;s a coating, there is a chance that it will get scratched over time. Covering up scratches with matte black touch-up paint may be possible, but you may also risk it not blending in with the original finish. </p></div>

Q: How much does an emergency plumber cost?

• <div><p>Emergency plumbers charge a significantly higher rate than for standard service, typically 1.5 to 3 times the normal hourly cost. You can expect to pay between $100 and $500 per hour, with an average of around $200 per hour. In addition to the higher hourly rate, many plumbers charge a flat emergency service or trip fee, which can be between $150 and $300. The final cost depends on the timing of the call; prices are highest for major holidays, followed by weekends and after-hours service on weekdays. For a complex job on a major holiday, a master plumber's rate could reach as high as $600 per hour.</p></div>
