Q: Can I shower when the water main is broken?

• <div><p>While you may have some water, it's best to wait until after the repair is complete to use your home's pipes. For one thing, the water pressure will most likely be greatly reduced, leading to a less-than-intense shower. There's also the risk of contamination from dirt and bacteria that can enter the broken water main pipe. In many cases, a pro will <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-turn-off-water-main.htm">turn off the flow of water from your water main</a> to do the repairs, so showering won&rsquo;t likely be an option.</p></div>

Q: How do you know if the plumbing vent is causing plumbing problems?

• <div><p>Constant problems with plumbing throughout the home may point toward the plumbing vent being the culprit. If a blockage or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/vent-stacks-air-out-your-plumbing.htm">clog occurs in the plumbing vent</a>, it can quickly lead to the entire plumbing system throughout the home failing. Tackle clogs as soon as they happen, and if it&rsquo;s a constant problem, bring in a local plumber to look at repairs.</p><p>Be on the lookout for multiple points of the plumbing system causing problems, such as if there&rsquo;s a strong scent coming from the home or if you notice the plumbing vent on the roof is damaged.</p></div>

Q: Can you use the outside spigot in the winter?

• <div><p>It is safe to use a frost-proof or freeze-proof spigot or pump in the winter if you live in an area with freezing temperatures. Otherwise, it's best to fully drain and shut down your outside spigot in the winter to avoid cracking a pipe.</p></div>

Q: How often should I schedule a plumbing inspection?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s generally recommended to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-should-be-considered-plumbing-inspection.htm">schedule a plumbing inspection</a> every two years or so. However, the right frequency depends on factors like the age of your system, your water&rsquo;s hardness, and any previous plumbing issues you may have had. Older homes or homes with a history of plumbing problems may benefit more from annual inspections.</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!

The gutters look amazing and Mike is very accommodating. He came out to adjust the drainage gutters after he finished the job because I found they would be better shorter and draining in the flowerbeds. Highly recommend. The price was very reasonable too!
