"No nonsense, had a very straightforward approach and I really liked that. We even had some plumbing issues and they didnâ t charge us extra to complete."
"My pro was Derrick. Derrick was the cleanest, most efficient installer that has ever entered my home. I generally don’t like strangers in my home for any reason. Derrick was the exception to the rule. The reason is that he didn’t just walk by me and be about his job, he actually spoke to my wife and me. He didn’t act as though he was doing us a favor. He took great patience in explaining our shower, the materials used and how to manage it. He is obviously very knowledgeable about installation because he ran into unexpected snags and handled them seamlessly! I really appreciated his professionalism and courtesy that he extended us. He, the shower and Bath Planet of Arkansas is worth every dime we spent!!"

Many parts of your plumbing system can fail, but clogged drains are one of the biggest plumbing problems you’ll likely encounter. From your kitchen sink, bathroom sink, or bathtub, there are plenty of opportunities for gunk, hair, food scraps, and more to get stuck in drains. When this happens, water will slowly drain, leading to standing water, bad odors, drain flies, and other issues.
Many homeowners can handle a minor clog themselves, but if you have a clog in your main line, you’re best off hiring a local plumber to get the drain back to its normal flow rate.
There are few things more annoying than trying to fall asleep only to be woken up by the sound of a dripping faucet. If the faucet drips when the water is off, it probably has a loose or damaged seat washer. The screw gets loose from repeated use, making the faucet drip. With outdoor faucets, this is more common in the summer when people are using it more often to water the garden or cool off. Disassembling the faucet and tightening or replacing the seat washer and screw can get the dripping to stop.
Yes. Pipes will thaw on their own as the weather warms up and gets above freezing. Once it warms up, it should take a day or two for pipes to thaw. If you’re worried about your pipes bursting and warm weather isn’t coming for a few days, you should take precautions to keep your pipes as warm as possible.
A standard toilet flange should fit snugly into the outflow pipe and sit level with the subfloor. Installing a new one without first removing the old one will make it impossible to form a seal and keep the toilet bowl bolted securely in place.
However, if you’re dealing with leakage or wobbling because you’ve installed a new type of bathroom tile (making the floor taller), you may be able to avoid fully replacing the flange by opting for a toilet flange extender. Extenders typically come in kits for easy DIY installation, fit over the existing flange, and bring the drain connection higher.
