Q: How do I know if my underground water line is leaking?

• <div><p>Watch for sinkholes in your yard. Also, if the water pressure in your sinks, showers, and other fixtures is notably lower, this is usually a sign that an underground water line is leaking. This affects sprinkler lines and can make the sprinklers shoot out water with very little water pressure, meaning they won&rsquo;t water your lawn and garden as effectively as normal.</p></div>

Q: What causes an outside spigot to leak?

• <div><p>That pesky faucet leak can have a few different causes, most of which are standard wear and tear that occurs over time, but that doesn&rsquo;t make it any less annoying, especially when the energy bill hits:</p><ul><li><p><b>Old washer: </b>A deteriorated washer or gasket is the most common cause of a leak. Luckily, it&rsquo;s easy and affordable to fix.</p></li><li><p><b>Old packing nut: </b>There&rsquo;s a chance the packing nut (located beneath the handle) is loose and simply needs tightening, or it has been worn down, stripped, and needs to be replaced.</p></li><li><p><b>Freezing temperatures:</b> The water sitting in your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/freeze-proof-faucets.htm">spigot over winter can freeze</a>, expand, and lead to damage and leaks.</p></li><li><p><b>High water pressure: </b>High water pressure is hard on pipes over time and can cause cracks and leaks, too.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How long does it take to repipe a bathroom?

• <div><p>The amount of time it takes to repipe a bathroom depends on how much piping needs to be replaced and how accessible the pipes are. Smaller, easily accessible jobs may only take a few hours, but projects that require drywall removal or removing old pipes or large clogs can take several days.</p></div>

Q: Can you drink brown water that comes out of your faucet?

• <div><p>Most of the time, the answer is yes, but with an enormous asterisk. While an increase in iron deposits isn&rsquo;t likely to harm you if consumed, that doesn&rsquo;t mean you should drink any brown water from your faucets. In our book, it&rsquo;s better to be safe than sorry and opt for bottled until the issue is resolved. </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>

Took down 3 dead pine trees between 2 power lines, called the power company and set it it up with them. I appreciate not having to deal with that. They did an excellent job, took down the trees and moved them to a burn pile I have. I recommend this crew to anyone that needs work done

Excellent service. We needed a septic cleanout. Started calling companies including some listed on Angi. Pricing was varied but some had extra charges that we wouldn’t know until they came out. And we would wait from 3 days to 2 weeks. Wayne at Mudcow gave me a flat rate and made it out TODAY....
