Q: What happens if you don’t have a sewer cleanout?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t have a sewer cleanout, clearing out clogs can be extremely difficult. You would need to try to clear the clog from sink drains, but it can be harder to reach the clog all the way in the drain line. A sewer cleanout makes it much faster and easier for pros to clear clogs from your main sewer line. </p></div>

Q: Should I tip my plumber?

• <div><p>Tipping is not required when hiring plumbing professionals. The rate provided in your plumbing quote is intended to cover all of the labor required to get the job done. However, you may consider tipping any extra hands hired to help with cleanup, haul away old fixtures, or repair drywall that was affected by the project.</p></div>

Q: Do all toilets fit the same hole?

• <div><p>Most toilets have a 12-inch rough-in or hole, but some have 10- or 14-inch holes, which means that not all toilets fit all setups. Knowing how to measure the rough-in is essential, so you purchase a toilet that fits the existing drain hole. It can be costly to have the rough-in moved, and most stores don&rsquo;t accept toilet returns.</p></div>

Q: Are there standard pipe sizes?

• <div><p>Yes. There are a variety of standard pipe sizes used in plumbing. The main supply line connecting your home to the street is either 3/4 or 1 inch in diameter. Supply lines are 3/4 inch in diameter. Individual components are 1/2 inch in diameter. Meanwhile, your main drainpipe is often 4 inches wide. Most shower and bathtub drains are 2 inches in diameter, most toilet drains are 3 inches in diameter, and most <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/sink-drain-pipe-size.htm">sink drainpipes</a> are 1 1/4 or 1 &frac12; inches in diameter.</p></div>

AC drain was stopped up. They unstopped the drain and snaked it completely to the end. Then they fixed the PVC piping and placed a coupling there so that we could do it if needed ever again without cutting the pipe. Great service! Very nice and professional dispatch. Couldn't be happier!
