Q: How do I know what size pipe I have?

• <div><p>In the best-case scenario, the pipe size is written on the side of the pipe. You&rsquo;ll often find this with different types of plastic piping like PVC, PEX, or CPVC. For other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/copper-pipes-type.htm">types of pipes</a>, you&rsquo;ll have to measure. You can measure the outside circumference with a soft tape measure, then divide your measurement by pi. From there, you&rsquo;ll have to use a conversion chart to get the nominal pipe size (the size you&rsquo;d buy in the store).</p></div>

Q: What's the difference between a standard spigot and a frost-free hose bib?

• <div><p>The key difference between a standard spigot (or regular hose bib) and a frost-free hose bib is its design to prevent freezing and pipe bursting during cold weather. A standard spigot is a basic outdoor faucet. In contrast, a frost-free hose bib has a longer stem that extends into the heated interior of the house, placing the shut-off valve inside where it's protected from freezing temperatures. This design, often combined with a downward-sloping supply pipe, ensures water drains out of the faucet body when turned off, preventing ice formation. This allows you to leave the water supply on year-round without the risk of pipe damage, making it a valuable choice for regions with harsh winters.</p></div>

Q: Can I use liquid drain cleaner?

• <div><p>Liquid drain cleaners are harsh chemicals that can erode your pipes. To treat a slow drain or for preventative maintenance, pour hot water down the drain to break up gunk and help move it along. Make sure the water isn&rsquo;t boiling hot (keep it under 140 degrees Fahrenheit) if you have plastic pipes. However, you&rsquo;ll need to pull the clog out for bigger backups. </p></div>

Q: Does pouring water down the toilet help it flush?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pour water down the toilet to help it flush. For each flush, you&rsquo;ll need 1 to 2 gallons of water for newer toilets or 3 to 5 gallons of water for older toilets. Rather than dumping the entire bucket in all at once, pour the water in slowly for the best results. If you&rsquo;re pouring water down the toilet to help it flush after a clog, only use 1 gallon of hot water.</p></div>

Q: Can I snake my own drain?

• <div><p>If methods like hot water or a plunger don&rsquo;t work on your clogged drain, you can snake your drain to dislodge the plug. This can be a messy process, taking some physical effort and additional time over the other drain-clearing options. You can purchase a drain snake at a hardware store and choose from handheld options or those attached to a drill. Just work slowly, and be ready to call a plumber if you&rsquo;re unable to reach the clog from your drain or P-trap.</p></div>

"I hired Jacuzzi Bath Remodel through an email add that I responded to. They got back to me promptly and their salesman Hunter was at my house within a week. They came and did the work which was demolishing two bathrooms and installing new shower stalls, vanities, flooring and toilets. I expected a crew of plumbers and carpenters, but TULIO and his helper did it all and to perfection. I absolutely love my new bathrooms, every time I shower I feel like I'm in a 5 star hotel. Thank you Jacuzzi!"
