What is a water hammer?
A water hammer is a loud banging sound from your pipes when you turn off a faucet or appliance. It's caused by the sudden stop of water flow. Air chambers and water hammer arrestors can prevent water hammer. A plumber can diagnose and fix the problem.
What is covered by home insurance for plumbing emergencies?
Home insurance coverage for plumbing emergencies varies depending on your specific policy and the cause of the damage. Typically, burst pipes due to freezing temperatures or sudden and unexpected failures may be covered. However, damage caused by negligence (such as failure to maintain the plumbing system properly) may not be covered. Always review your policy details carefully or contact your insurance company to understand your exact coverage.
How to prevent plumbing emergencies?
Regular preventative maintenance can significantly reduce the risk of plumbing emergencies. This includes:
Regularly checking for leaks and addressing them promptly.
Having your plumbing system inspected annually by a qualified plumber.
Ensuring adequate insulation for pipes in colder climates to prevent freezing.
Avoiding pouring grease or other substances down the drains that can cause clogs.
Properly maintaining and cleaning your garbage disposal.
By taking these steps, you can minimize the likelihood of costly and disruptive plumbing emergencies.
How to unclog a drain?
For minor clogs, try a plunger first. Baking soda and vinegar can also be effective. If these fail, a drain snake (or auger) may be required. For stubborn clogs, a professional plumber can use hydro jetting to clear blockages.
