What should you do while you wait for an emergency plumber?

• <div><p>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:</p><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/water-shutoff-valve-key-avoiding-damage.htm">Shut the water off</a> at your water main if you have a leak or a burst pipe </p></li><li><p>Avoid using any water fixtures in your home, including appliances</p></li><li><p>Clear a path to the problem area so that it’s easily accessible </p></li><li><p>Consider shutting your breaker if you’re concerned that the leak may affect your electrical system</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Should I use a liquid drain cleaner?

• <div><p>No, you should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-reasons-not-use-liquid-drain-cleaners.htm">avoid using liquid drain cleaners</a>. These chemicals, often packed with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, can wreak havoc on your pipes, causing erosion and potential leaks. They’re also dangerous to your health. If you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, manual removal or a professional plumber is your best bet. Chemical drain cleaners can often make things worse, especially if the clog stays put and the chemicals linger in your pipes.</p></div>

Q: Are power-flush toilets worth it?

• <div><p>Whether or not a power-flush toilet is worth it depends on your toilet needs and your budget. If your bathroom sees a lot of use or you&rsquo;re concerned about the toilet clogging, then a power-flush toilet may be the right choice. You should also check the pressure requirements to make sure your system can handle the necessary requirements. </p></div>

Q: Do plumbers work off-hours or in the evening?

• <div><p>Almost all plumbers have emergency service options and 24/7 numbers you can call for service during off-hours like in the evening. But be careful before you dial: Plumbers will charge extra fees for off-hour services, even if the cost isn&rsquo;t quite as high as a weekend visit. Expect to pay around 1&frac12; times more than the usual rates for plumbers in your area for off-hour calls. </p></div>

Q: What happens when you put baking soda and vinegar down the sink drain?

• <div><p>When you put baking soda and vinegar down the drain, they chemically react and help break down clogs. It&rsquo;s not going to work for every type of clog, however. For example, it&rsquo;s not the best way to get rid of grease buildup. For grease, you should try boiling water and white vinegar instead.</p></div>

José and his crew were amazing and did such a beautiful job! They revamped flower beds, installed drain lines, built an island bed, and dug a burn pit for us. They worked nonstop and did a wonderful clean-up at the end. We will most definitely use them again!
