## Guides
- [How much does sewer line replacement cost in Spokane?](https://goldseal.nightfox.dev/answers/sewer-line-replacement-cost-spokane): At Gold Seal, lining a sewer with LightRay UV starts from $6,426 for up to 50 feet, and bursting in a new pipe starts from $12,691 for up to 50 feet. Open trench work is priced after a free estimate. Lining usually takes a day and bursting one to two, and Quality Service Club members pay 10% less.
- [How do I keep pipes from freezing in a Spokane winter?](https://goldseal.nightfox.dev/answers/how-to-keep-pipes-from-freezing-in-spokane): Disconnect garden hoses before the first freeze and insulate pipes in crawl spaces, garages and outside walls. On the coldest nights, open the cabinet doors under sinks and let the faucet on the coldest wall drip. If the house will sit empty, keep the heat on or have it winterized. At Gold Seal, thawing a frozen pipe starts from $255.
- [Should I repair or replace my water heater?](https://goldseal.nightfox.dev/answers/water-heater-repair-or-replace): Repair a water heater when the tank is sound and one part has failed, such as a thermocouple, heating element or relief valve. At Gold Seal most of those repairs start between $284 and $717. Replace it when the tank leaks, is badly rusted or is past about ten years old: a leaking tank cannot be repaired. A new 40-gallon gas water heater, installed, starts from $2,271.
- [What are the signs of a failing sewer line?](https://goldseal.nightfox.dev/answers/signs-of-a-failing-sewer-line): Several drains backing up or slowing at once, gurgling toilets, sewage smells and backups that keep coming back point to the main sewer line, not one drain. In older homes the usual causes are tree roots, scale in cast iron, or a cracked or sagging line. A camera inspection shows which. At Gold Seal, clearing a main line through an outside cleanout starts from $568.
- [How do I shut off my water and gas in an emergency?](https://goldseal.nightfox.dev/answers/how-to-shut-off-water-and-gas-in-an-emergency): For a burst pipe, close the main water shut-off, usually where the water line enters the house in the basement, crawl space, utility room or garage. For a leaking water heater, close the cold water valve on top and turn off its gas or breaker. If you smell gas, do not touch switches: get everyone out, then call 911 or your gas utility from outside.
- [Do I need a water softener or a water filter?](https://goldseal.nightfox.dev/answers/water-softener-or-filter): A water softener removes the calcium and magnesium that cause scale. A filter removes something specific, such as sediment, the chlorine taste of city water, or iron. Many homes need one, some need both, and a water test tells you which. At Gold Seal a whole-house filter starts from $987 and a premium water softener from $3,353, installed.
