Q: What causes a toilet flapper to stay open?

• <div><p>A toilet flapper will remain open when the chain that it is connected to is too short. The chain should lift the flapper just enough to allow it to open the rest of the way on its own. The chain should have just about half an inch of slack.</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>

Q: Does water with calcium buildup taste different?

• <div><p>While not everyone can detect taste differences in high-calcium water, water that has a slightly metallic taste probably has too much calcium.</p></div>

Q: Do frozen pipes always burst?

• <div><p>Frozen water doesn&rsquo;t always cause a pipe to burst. Most of the time, a clog will simply prevent your sink from draining properly. Plastic and PVC pipes could warp to expand with the frozen water without rupturing. But as the cold weather progresses and more water or debris piles up in a frozen pipe, the risk of a burst pipe increases. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to thaw frozen underground pipes?

• <div><p>Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.</p></div>

Zeb and his assistants did an excellent job repairing 2 ceilings- one was a drywall ceiling in our entryway, and one was a textured, plaster ceiling, which was a big job, and complicated, and had to be done "just right", with the proper texturing. These ceilings are in an historic, 1922...

Unfortunately, they did not live up to their high rating. I asked them to mow 4.5 to 5 inches tall since it was going to be super hot over the next few weeks. They cut it much shorter than I requested, leaving piles of grass all over the yard behind them. They said they could come back and cut...

"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!"
