Q: Can you put plumber’s tape over old plumber’s tape?

• <div><p>No, putting new plumber&rsquo;s tape over old plumber&rsquo;s tape is not recommended. The old tape connection may not be completely adhered and could cause a leak. </p><p>Instead, remove the old tape completely, clean off the pipe threads with a clean rag and wire brush if needed, then apply new plumber&rsquo;s tape to make your connection.</p></div>

Q: Is it necessary to have a sink drain stopper?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s necessary to have a sink drain stopper. While your sink will still work without a stopper, a stopper is necessary to keep things other than water from going down into your pipes and potentially clogging them. It prevents <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/plumbing-problems.htm">plumbing problems</a> by keeping out unwanted debris and objects like hair, soap, toothpaste, dirt, and jewelry.</p></div>

Q: What costs are generally involved in fixture and pipe repairs?

• <div><p>The cost depends on the parts, labor, extent of damage, and whether extensive plumbing modifications are required. Typical repairs cost $150-$300.</p></div>

Q: Do polybutylene pipes need to be replaced?

• <div><p>Yes, polybutylene pipes absolutely need to be replaced. These pipes do not last long and pose major threats of leaks and bursts because they cannot withstand the elements found in municipal water, such as chlorine and fluoride. If your home still has any polybutylene pipes, hire a plumber right away to replace them with a better, more durable type of pipe.</p></div>

Q: Why won’t my toilet stop running?

• <div><p>A running toilet is not a plumbing emergency, but you will want to try some DIY fixes or call in a plumber to prevent wasting gallons of water. The three most common causes of a running toilet are a broken or dirty flapper, an incorrectly sized chain between the flush lever and flapper, or a float that is out of position.</p></div>
