What should I do about a burst pipe?
If you have a burst pipe, you must act quickly to minimize damage and prevent further issues. The first step is to shut off the main water valve to stop the water flow and prevent flooding. It's important to immediately contact a professional plumber to repair or replace the damaged pipe to prevent further water damage and ensure the safety of the property. In the meantime, you can try to contain the water by using towels, buckets, or other items to absorb or collect the water and ensure the affected area is well-ventilated to prevent mold and mildew growth.

Why do my drains smell?
If you notice an odor emanating from your drains, sulfur is probably to blame. To be more precise, microorganisms in the pipes are what produce hydrogen sulfide gas. While it's important to point out that this isn't the sole cause of odorous drains, it is highly prevalent. It would be best if you cleaned the pipes to solve the issue. You may pour half a cup of bleach or, alternately, half a cup of baking soda and half a cup of vinegar down the drain. Remember that using the latter of the two will result in a little chemical reaction that will allow the foam to rise back up the pipe; it is thus advisable to block the drain after pouring the vinegar to press the foam through the pipe. After using either technique, pour warm to hot water down the drain. You should contact your neighborhood plumber if this does not work.
Why do we use LEDs?
We use LEDs (light-emitting diodes) for several reasons. First, LEDs are highly energy-efficient, using up to 80% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs, which can lead to significant cost savings on electricity bills. Second, LEDs have a longer lifespan than other types of bulbs, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Finally, LEDs are available in various colors, can be dimmed, and emit little to no heat, making them versatile and ideal for various lighting needs in homes, businesses, and public spaces.
What is the difference between 110 and 220 volts?
More voltage at the same cycles per second (cps), which means more power to the appliance. Generally, 220V is used for large appliances, 110V is used for small appliances. Using a 110V appliance in a 220V outlet will burn out the appliance. Using a 220V appliance in a 110V outlet will make the appliance run slow or not at all.
