"They were very costly and said that they could only install the shower, when, in fact, we needed plumbing done plus a shower install. We ended up finding a reliable plumber who did both, and for a much better price. Once we gave AHD our phone number, they called us regularly, as well, which was quite annoying."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, drains are one common entry point for water bugs. However, water bugs may enter your home through various locations including doors, windows, pipes, and vents. Water bugs are drawn to the dark and moist atmosphere drains provide, and can easily find their way into your home through sewer drain pipes. You can stop water bugs from entering through drains by regularly cleaning your drains and repairing faulty drainage systems.

You can use a water leak microphone to find an underground leak in your irrigation system. To do this, shut off the water to your system. Then, grab your sprinkler system’s map to get acquainted with the locations of your sprinkler heads, valve boxes, and water lines. Walk around these areas, waving the microphone’s sensory rod near the ground to detect the sound of water moving through your system.

Many homeowners stress about cleaning before an emergency plumber arrives, but you’re far better off doing the following while you wait for your plumber to get to your home:

  • Shut the water off at your water main if you have a leak or a burst pipe 

  • Avoid using any water fixtures in your home, including appliances

  • Clear a path to the problem area so that it’s easily accessible 

  • Consider shutting your breaker if you’re concerned that the leak may affect your electrical system

The P-trap is an essential part of the shower drain and is installed directly below it. It mainly functions as a barrier, preventing sewer gases and their odors from seeping into your bathroom. It also helps catch clogs so they don’t end up deeper in your home’s plumbing, where they’re more difficult to remove.
