Q: Why is my sink leaking in cold weather?

• <div><p>If your sink is on an exterior wall that isn&rsquo;t insulated, or if pipes travel through a cabinet against an exterior wall that prevents heated air from circulating around the pipes, the pipes can freeze, causing them to burst. The best way to avoid leaking sinks is to insulate the pipes and open cabinets in the short term to warm the water line up and prevent freezing.</p></div>

Q: What is the most common cause of a leaky tub faucet?

• <div><p>Worn-out rubber washers or O-rings are some of the most common <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/water-dripping-faucet.htm">causes of a leaky tub faucet</a>. These small rubber parts create watertight seals within the faucet. However, they can deteriorate over time because of mineral deposits and water pressure. If you have a cartridge-style faucet, a cracked or damaged cartridge can also be the culprit. Regular use of the handles wears down these faucet parts, and they eventually start allowing water to seep through and create a drip. </p></div>

Q: Can I install my own drain pipes?

• <div><p>We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/7-questions-ask-hiring-plumber.htm">hiring a professional plumber</a> is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.</p></div>

Q: Why is water not coming out of my hose?

• <div><p>Hoses can constrict over time. If water isn't coming out of your garden hose, it might be clogged by dirt, rocks, insect nests, and other debris that can find its way in there. If the weather's been cooler lately, water can freeze inside hoses and create clogs when it doesn't melt fast enough. If the water is hard where you live, minerals can build up in the hose and constrict it further.</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!
