Do you need a plumber to replace a bathtub faucet?

• <div><p>If you're replacing a similar model, you don’t always need a plumber to install a bathtub faucet since it will fit over the existing plumbing. That said, there is some room for error. If you’re uncomfortable with working on your plumbing, your installation is more complex than a simple replacement, or the piping is old and corroded, call a pro to handle the job. </p></div>

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>

What can you pour down a toilet to unclog it?

• <div><p>Start by pouring hot—but not boiling—water down the drain. The heat of the water may be enough to break down the clog. You can also try ½ cup of dish soap or 1 cup each of white vinegar and baking soda. If you choose a chemical unclogging product, ensure it’s appropriate for toilets to avoid damage.</p></div>

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>

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!
