Q: How long does pipe insulation last?

• <div><p>The lifespan of insulation depends on the material type. Fiberglass can last between 80 and 100 years, but it is important to start checking it around the 15-year mark. Spray foam has a lifespan of up to 100 years, and mineral wool can last up to 100 years. Cellulose, an eco-friendly option, has a lifespan of 20 to 30 years.</p></div>

Q: Does a sewer ejector pump need its own vent?

• <div><p>Local building codes sometimes require sewer ejector pumps to have their own vents. If so, these dedicated vents run upward through the home and exit through the roof. Otherwise, the pump&rsquo;s vent pipe can connect to an existing vent stack. Regardless of which method you use, venting is an important part of installing a sewer ejector pump because it helps equalize pressure and prevents gases from building up inside your home.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t fix a dripping faucet?

• <div><p>You might think it&rsquo;s OK to ignore a faucet that drips if it&rsquo;s not too bad, but doing so can cause more damage. A leaky faucet can also increase water bills and potentially attract bugs and other pests to your home. When you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-find-leak.htm">find a water leak</a>, it can result in water damage to your home, which can cause structural issues and mold growth.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Can you change a bathtub faucet without changing the valve?

• <div><p>Yes, you can change a bathtub faucet without changing the valve, as long as the new faucet is compatible with your existing valve system. Most manufacturers design their faucet trims (handles and spouts) to work with their standard valve bodies. However, you'll need to match the new faucet to your valve type, whether it's a compression, cartridge, or ball-type valve. Mixing brands can be problematic, but you can bring your old faucet parts to the hardware store and ask about compatibility. </p></div>

Q: What are the two types of bathtub faucets?

• <div><p>The two main types of bathtub faucets are screw-on and slip-on. A screw-on faucet has threads inside and screws onto the pipe, while a slip-on faucet slips onto the pipe and is secured with a setscrew on its underside. You may also encounter other designs, such as freestanding, wall-mount, deck-mount, or other high-end specialized systems. It is important to identify your specific faucet type before attempting removal to avoid damaging the pipes or the wall.</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....
