The best time to plant your corn seeds is when the soil temperature reaches an average of 50 degrees Fahrenheit. You can determine the average ground temperature in your garden using a soil thermometer -- available at most garden stores.
Vents are a major component in a home's drainage system. Venting allows water to pass out of the drains easily. Today, houses are vented through the roof. Roof flashing, made from heavy grade rubber, lead or sheet metal holds the vent pipe in place. Another thing to consider is pitch.
A water leak typically accompanies a crack in the drain line, but vent pipe cracks are more difficult to diagnose, and they can vent a large quantity of sewer gases into the home. Plumbers can locate these cracks by using a special machine that generates artificial smoke and pumps it into the plumbing drain system.
