Can I repair a broken copper pipe by myself?

• <div><p>It’s safe to carry out minor repairs on small cracks and leaks on copper pipes by yourself. Since copper melts under heat, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-solder-copper-pipes.htm">solder a copper pipe</a> to repair what’s broken. Note that it’s better to solder two couplings and a copper pipe together to fix minor leaks. This gives you some additional material for a stronger repair.</p></div>

Q: Can you drain a water heater without turning off the water?

• <div><p>No&mdash;you should always shut off the power and the water supply to the tank. Shutting off the water ensures that your water heater won&rsquo;t continuously refill while you are trying to drain it, which would likely cause a big mess! Make sure to allow the hot water to cool completely before continuing the process of draining the heater.</p></div>

Q: Why do some old houses have a toilet in the basement?

• <div><p>Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.</p><p>Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.</p></div>

Q: Can a water leak cause an electrical fire?

• <div><p>Yes, a water leak poses a major fire risk at your home because water is a conductor of electricity. Water that comes into contact with sparks or electrical wires can instantly ignite flammable materials. Additionally, any type of exposure to water can cause wires and other electrical components within your home to corrode. When assessing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-water-damage.htm">categories of water damage</a>, it's important to know that even a small amount of moisture near wiring could cause sparks that lead to a fire.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take a plumber to unclog a drain?

• <div><p>On average, a plumber will take <b>30 minutes to two hours</b> to clear a clogged drain. If the clog is located close to the drain or an access point and isn&rsquo;t severe, the project will take about half an hour. If the clog is deep within your plumbing system or is a severe blockage, it can take two or more hours to remove the clog. For this reason, main line clogs tend to take longer, usually between two and three hours.</p></div>
