Get matched with top affordable plumbers in Rotan, TX

In an emergency plumbing situation, taking the time to vet a plumber properly might not be feasible. Instead, it’s helpful to ask the following questions to gauge the experience and expertise of the plumber you’re considering quickly:

• How many years of experience do you have?

• Are you licensed and insured?

• How quickly are you able to get to my property?

You can quickly check some online reviews and the Better Business Bureau (BBB) page for the plumber to get a sense of the quality of service they provide.

If your wall is wet, but there isn’t a leak, it’s likely a result of humidity and condensation from running a hot shower or cooking in the kitchen. The best way to remedy this issue is to run the fan in the bathroom when you’re showering or in the kitchen when you’re cooking. You can also use a dehumidifier to help remove moisture from the air.

You can often identify a freeze-proof faucet by its structure. Unlike a traditional spigot, a freeze-proof one will include a long supply pipe that extends into your home and connects several inches back to your water supply. Many freeze-proof models also have an extra valve on top of the exterior of the spigot, which is the anti-siphon feature that protects against water backflow.

Usually it’s fine to leave a toilet clogged overnight, as long as it’s not close to overflowing. In some cases, the extra time may give the clog time to work itself out. For example, if it’s caused by an excess of toilet paper, letting it sit could result in the clog dissolving and you may be able to simply flush it away by the time you wake up. 

Only let it sit though if you have more than one toilet in the home.
