Should I install a backflow preventer on my drip irrigation system?

• <div><p>Most jurisdictions legally require a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-backflow-preventer.htm">backflow preventer</a> on your drip irrigation system. Even if you live in a place with less strict laws, installing one is a great idea. If you’re planning to use fertilizers or other chemical additives in your garden, a backflow preventer helps ensure those substances stay outside of your home’s water supply. Depending on the complexity of your irrigation system, you may be able to install one for under $100.</p></div>

Can you hear a pipe burst?

• <div><p>Sometimes when a pipe bursts in a house, it makes a clang or popping noise; however, that doesn’t mean you’ll hear it. Newer pipes tend to be quieter than older pipes. Plus, a pipe can easily burst out of earshot, especially if it’s a floor or two away from you. </p><p>If you do hear an unusual popping noise, consider hiring a plumber to inspect your pipes. Most of the time, you’re more likely to notice a burst pipe either from a visible leak or because water won’t run out of your tap properly.</p></div>

How do I know if my irrigation system is leaking underground?

• <div><p>You can use a water leak microphone to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-find-leak-in-sprinkler-system.htm">find an underground leak in your irrigation system</a>. To do this, shut off the water to your system. Then, grab your sprinkler system’s map to get acquainted with the locations of your sprinkler heads, valve boxes, and water lines. Walk around these areas, waving the microphone’s sensory rod near the ground to detect the sound of water moving through your system.</p></div>

Q: Can a plumber fix a smelly drain?

• <div><p>A plumber can get to the bottom of your smelly drain and clean it with specialized jets, hoses, and drain-safe cleaning solutions. It is also smart to call in a plumber if you suspect your drain smell is coming from a stubborn clog or even a leaky pipe.</p></div>

Q: How long does pipe insulation last?

• <div><p>Just <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-should-i-replace-my-insulation.htm">how long insulation lasts</a> depends on the type of insulation you use. Fiberglass can last between 80 and 100 years, but it's important to start checking fiberglass insulation around the 15-year mark. Spray foam also has a long life span of up to 80 years, while mineral wool can last up to 100 years. Although eco-friendly, cellulose only has a lifespan of 20 to 30 years.</p></div>

"From the initial contact with Trenton Mayes, it was a very positive experience. He came to inspect, knew exactly what needed to be done and made the arrangements. The workers who performed the mold remediation were just as efficient and friendly as Trenton, great staff and great job. The product they use did not bother my asthma and I was able to return to my home."
