Q: Can antifreeze be poured down the drain?

• <div><p>You should never pour antifreeze down the drain or outside on the ground. Because it's highly toxic, antifreeze can still impact people and animals long after it drains. Antifreeze can contaminate water and sewage systems, and any that gets into storm drains and water supplies can attract animals and harm those that ingest it.</p></div>

Q: How do you know if you have air in your water pipes?

• <div><p>There are several signs that can indicate you have air in your pipes, including unusual noises coming from the pipes, like banging and whistling, and inconsistent water flow and pressure. Spitting from the faucet right when you turn the water on is another indication that you might have air in the pipes.</p></div>

Q: What is the proper vent pipe for a water heater?

• <div><p>Due to the high temperature, using stainless steel vent pipes for your tankless water heater&rsquo;s exhaust vent is best. Also, it is safe to use a flexible vent duct as the exhaust fan. If installing the exhaust fan yourself, make sure you are using heat-resistant silicon to connect the exhaust vent and the duct on your water heater.</p></div>

Q: What is the best type of pipe for plumbing?

• <div><p>Polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, pipes are considered one of the best pipe types for drains and vent lines due to their low price point, lightweight material, corrosion resistance, and installation ease. But copper has long been considered the best piping option due to its durability. For many homeowners, though, the price of copper can be cost-prohibitive. </p></div>

Q: Do I need a permit for drain pipe installation?

• <div><p>You might need a permit to modify or repair any portion of your plumbing system, including drainage lines, depending on where you live. In some areas, simple replacements of existing drain lines don&rsquo;t require a permit. We recommend asking your drain pipe installer or your local building department about permitting requirements. In many cases, only certified plumbers can pull plumbing permits, so you&rsquo;ll usually need to leave the permit application to your professional. The fee for the permit will be passed to you on your project bill, though.</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

I know it was more expensive because the cost of lumber went up soooo ridiculously high. The job completed was done quickly and when Jacob said it would be completed. Have already referred this company to other people looking for quality work.

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....
