Q & A:

- Plumbing: Are faucets from a big box store just as good as those from a plumbing supply store? Joni shouldn’t worry about quality if she’s still buying a good brand.

- Garage Doors: Frank’s garage door opener won’t close them. He can try doing a factory reset, but they may need to be replaced if they’re too old.

- Groundwater: It’s not worth the work involved for Shawnee to redirect an underground spring that keeps a small area of her yard wet.

- Water Heater: James noticed moisture inside the fiberglass insulation on his water heater. He gets tips for finding leaks, regulating the water heater, and installing a timer.

- Mold: Broken pipes inside the walls have caused a lot of mold. Sharaine needs to call a professional to safely remove the mold and avoid contaminating the rest of the house.

- Concrete: One area of Roy’s concrete driveway is tilting toward the garage. Mudjacking can lift and stabilize it as long as it’s done evenly and doesn’t crack the slab.

- Toilet: Patty’s toilet runs a few times each day and the water bill is going up. It’s an easy fix to replace the worn-out fill and flush valves inside the tank.
