Can you hear a pipe burst?

• <div><p>Sometimes when a pipe bursts in a house, it makes a clang or popping noise; however, that doesn’t mean you’ll hear it. Newer pipes tend to be quieter than older pipes. Plus, a pipe can easily burst out of earshot, especially if it’s a floor or two away from you. </p><p>If you do hear an unusual popping noise, consider hiring a plumber to inspect your pipes. Most of the time, you’re more likely to notice a burst pipe either from a visible leak or because water won’t run out of your tap properly.</p></div>

Q: Should you leave outside faucets dripping in freezing weather?

• <div><p>Yes, you should leave outside faucets dripping in freezing weather to prevent frozen and burst pipes. While a drip doesn't always prevent freezing, ice is less likely to form and there's less pressure in your pipes, meaning they&rsquo;re less likely to burst. You can also winterize your outdoor faucets, eliminating the need to run a drip.</p></div>

Q: How do you get air out of shower pipes?

• <div><p>You can remove air from your shower pipes in a few simple steps. Turn off the water at the main water supply and open all the faucets in your home, starting with those closest to the water supply and working away from those. Let the faucets run dry, then flush all the toilets in your home until there is no more water in them. From there, turn the water supply back on and let it flow for 10 to 15 minutes until the sputtering stops. To finish, turn off your faucets and flush your toilets in the reverse order. </p></div>

Q: Can a slab leak cause a sinkhole?

• <div><p>It is possible for a slab leak to cause a sinkhole, but it would have to be a particularly serious leak. A slab leak causes the land under your home to erode and if there is enough movement depressions will form in the ground, potentially causing a sinkhole.</p></div>

Q: What is the best pipe material for a sewer line?

• <div><p>Most people choose PVC, or polyvinyl chloride/plastic, for their sewer line material. PVS has many advantages over other types of pipes. Mainly, PVC can resist corrosion and chemical damage, is lightweight (making it easier to install), is budget-friendly, and has an impressive life span (typically around 100 years). </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!
