What are the two pipes at the back of a washing machine?

• <div><p>The hot and cold water hookups are the two pipes at the back of the washing machine. In many homes, independent taps turn on or off and are usually located directly behind the washing machine. If they aren’t there, try looking inside a cupboard or closet. If you plan on unhooking either pipe, make sure the water is shut completely off and have towels nearby, as there’s still water stored in the pipes. </p></div>

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

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/really-plumbing-emergency.htm">plumbing emergency is a problem beyond your control</a> that&rsquo;s threatening to severely damage your home. That type of issue can include major leaks, burst pipes, or an out-of-control water heater that won&rsquo;t stop heating the water. Sewage problems, like sewage backups that force septic tank gases into the house, can also count as an ASAP emergency. </p></div>

Q: What do I do if nothing comes out of my faucet?

• <div><p>If nothing is coming out of your faucet, you could have frozen pipes, a clogged faucet, or your water supply could be shut off. First, check your shut-off valves. If it's a hot sunny day, you can rule out frozen pipes and look closer at your aerator for signs of mineral deposits. Removing the aerator and cleaning it out can often return water flow. If temperatures are below freezing, you may have frozen pipes. Knowing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-do-if-your-pipes-freeze.htm">what to do when pipes freeze</a> is essential for thawing your pipes and preventing them from bursting.</p></div>

Q: How far away can a vent pipe be from the toilet?

• <div><p>According to the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), the distance between your trap and the vent should be no more than 6 feet. For your vent to work properly, it needs to feed into the drain line within 6 feet of trapways that connect to it. Using this formula, you should be able to determine whether you will need multiple vent lines.</p></div>

Q: What is the proper vent pipe for a water heater?

• <div><p>Due to the high temperature, using stainless steel vent pipes for your tankless water heater&rsquo;s exhaust vent is best. Also, it is safe to use a flexible vent duct as the exhaust fan. If installing the exhaust fan yourself, make sure you are using heat-resistant silicon to connect the exhaust vent and the duct on your water heater.</p></div>

Kevin was fabulous. He repaired the broken pipe in the upstairs bathroom and got the water running in the house again. He was quick, efficient, and kind. Would absolutely hire him again for future repairs.

Very efficient, clean, and quick installation. Brandon was wonderful with explaining the system after install and everything was left cleaner than when he got here. The turnaround time for installation was only a couple of days which was fantastic.

I enjoyed working with Alex, who was creative and flexible. The shower pan had to be redone because it didnâ t drain properly, but they got it right in the end and the final price was to our satisfaction.

"We had our basement waterproofed by Baker's. It's been bone-dry since. We did have one piece of equipment fail within a month of the installation, but it was a third party dehumidifier that was just a dud I guess, no fault of Baker's. I texted the project manager about it on a Sunday. I expected a response the following week. He got back to me within the hour. The equipment was removed and replaced within a couple days. Everything great since. I would highly recommend Baker's, but specifically our project manager Nathan Goddard and the head guy on site Daylan. Can't remember his last name, but he's got a long beard and did a great job. Thanks to both of them and the rest of the guys."
