Q: How do I know if a plumbing problem is an emergency?

• <div><p>A plumbing emergency is a problem that threatens to severely damage your home or put your family at risk if not addressed immediately. If leaving the issue until regular business hours will cause more damage, it's an emergency. Examples include burst pipes, major leaks, significant drain clogs, a lack of hot water, a suspected gas leak, an out-of-control water heater, or a sewer line backup forcing gases into your home. Many home insurance policies will cover sudden and unexpected plumbing emergencies, provided they are not caused by homeowner negligence.</p></div>

Q: What size pipe do I need to plumb a shower?

• <div><p>The size of the pipe you use for your shower depends on the part of the shower you&rsquo;re installing. Shower drainpipes have a 2-inch diameter, and the water supply lines (both hot and cold) have a &frac12;-inch diameter. You may want to slightly increase the size of the vertical pipe if you have dual showerheads. Check the local building code prior to installation for guidance.</p></div>

Q: How do you prevent pipes from bursting?

• <div><p>You can prevent pipes from bursting by taking several preventive measures. For example:</p><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-keep-water-pipes-freezing.htm">Keep your pipes from freezing</a> when temperatures drop by setting your thermostat to 55 degrees or higher.</p></li><li><p>Open under-sink cabinets to allow warm air to flow around the pipes. </p></li><li><p>Let faucets drip to keep water moving.</p></li><li><p>Add insulation to crawl spaces or pipes to keep them warm.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What sealant can I use for a leaking pipe?

• <div><p>The type of sealant you use on a leaking pipe will depend on the pipe material and the cause of the leak. PVC P-traps should avoid petroleum-based sealants, which can degrade the plastic and worsen the leak. Pipe sealant is specifically designed for use on pipes, but remember&mdash;if your P-trap has a crack&ndash;it&rsquo;s best to replace the pipe to avoid future leaks.</p></div>

Q: Do plumbers take certain days of the week off?

• <div><p>Plumber schedules can vary. Many plumbing companies follow a traditional five-day work week, and schedule plumbers so that someone is available during working hours. However, some plumbers choose a four-day work week and take a day off, usually Friday. In these cases, Friday work counts as weekend work and will incur the same extra charges.</p></div>

"I hired Baker's Waterproofing when a recent plumber found a leak possibly in my foundation and recommended them to me. Baker's initial inspection uncovered that my foundation was built of cinderblocks and was leaking water from the hill behind my home as well as groundwater from below. They scheduled the work and sent out Victor and Miguel to complete a full waterproofing, French drain, pump installation and backup system. From start to finish of this project with Baker's Waterproofing, every person I spoke to was extremely professional, everything was explained clearly and concisely, and pricing was not only competitive, but extremely reasonable for the quality and quantity of work completed. Special thanks to the incredibly hardworking, polite, and professional Victor and Miguel. I highly recommend asking for them by name to ensure your work is done quickly but completely."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

A plumbing emergency is a problem that threatens to severely damage your home or put your family at risk if not addressed immediately. If leaving the issue until regular business hours will cause more damage, it's an emergency. Examples include burst pipes, major leaks, significant drain clogs, a lack of hot water, a suspected gas leak, an out-of-control water heater, or a sewer line backup forcing gases into your home. Many home insurance policies will cover sudden and unexpected plumbing emergencies, provided they are not caused by homeowner negligence.

The size of the pipe you use for your shower depends on the part of the shower you’re installing. Shower drainpipes have a 2-inch diameter, and the water supply lines (both hot and cold) have a ½-inch diameter. You may want to slightly increase the size of the vertical pipe if you have dual showerheads. Check the local building code prior to installation for guidance.

You can prevent pipes from bursting by taking several preventive measures. For example:

Keep your pipes from freezing when temperatures drop by setting your thermostat to 55 degrees or higher.
Open under-sink cabinets to allow warm air to flow around the pipes.
Let faucets drip to keep water moving.
Add insulation to crawl spaces or pipes to keep them warm.

The type of sealant you use on a leaking pipe will depend on the pipe material and the cause of the leak. PVC P-traps should avoid petroleum-based sealants, which can degrade the plastic and worsen the leak.
