Q: What is the difference between a journeyman plumber and a master plumber?

• <div><p>A journeyman plumber is a licensed plumber with a state-issued permit who installs and repairs piping for water and heating systems under the supervision of a master plumber. Also known as a plumbing contractor, a master plumber is considered the highest level in this profession. In addition to passing all state-level requirements, master plumbers have several years of experience. They are allowed to lead teams, create blueprints, and design and install plumbing systems.</p></div>

Q: How much clean water can my cistern provide?

• <div><p>The amount of clean water your cistern can supply depends on its size and the local rainfall patterns. Cisterns range from a few hundred to several thousand gallons in capacity. </p><p>To estimate the potential supply, consider the average annual rainfall in your area and the catchment area of your roof. For instance, a 1,000-square-foot roof can collect around 600 gallons of water from just one inch of rainfall. </p><p>Multiply this by the average annual rainfall to get a rough idea. However, factors like evaporation and system efficiency will also play a role.</p></div>

Q: Are shower valves and cartridges universal?

• <div><p>No, shower valves and cartridges are not universal. They must match and typically come from the same manufacturer. Mixing and matching different brands is unlikely to work and can cause issues like leaks or malfunctioning faucets. To find the correct replacement, check the old valve or cartridge for a brand name, model number, or serial number. If you cannot find this information, contact the manufacturer or check their website to determine which parts are compatible.</p></div>

Q: How do I hire a reliable emergency plumber?

• <div><p>In an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/really-plumbing-emergency.htm">emergency plumbing</a> situation, taking the time to vet a plumber properly might not be feasible. Instead, it&rsquo;s helpful to ask the following questions to gauge the experience and expertise of the plumber you&rsquo;re considering quickly:</p><ul><li><p>How many years of experience do you have?</p></li><li><p>Are you licensed and insured?</p></li><li><p>How quickly are you able to get to my property?</p></li></ul><p>You can quickly check some online reviews and the Better Business Bureau (BBB) page for the plumber to get a sense of the quality of service they provide.</p></div>

Q: How does drain cleaner dissolve hair?

• <div><p>Regardless of the drain cleaner type you choose to use, they all work through chemical reactions that create heat. Thanks to the heat, the clogged hair begins to dissolve until it is able to be flushed away. To avoid clogs in your drain due to hair, use hair catchers and empty them out after every shower.</p></div>

"Our water main broke on a holiday weekend and flooded the yard. we were were sure we wouldn't be able to get anyone out to look at it right away. He actually came on the holiday to get a plan together and was back as soon as the store opened on Monday to get materials. Did an excellent job running an eighth of a mile water line in a day at an extremely reasonable rate. I'd highly recommend them!"
