"Lou and his crew are the most courteous, competent, responsive, and professional contractors that I have worked with. The quality of their work met or surpassed my admittedly high expectations. They don't cut corners or just slap a thing together. They took the time to do the job right. The work was done on my 82 year old father's house. Lou, Brandon, and every person on that crew made sure that Dad felt heard and respected. They are good people who I plan to call for more work in the future."

"I hired Neli over a week period for 3 different appliances, my dryer, washing machine, dishwasher, and even kitchen sink! I had a fantastic experience: 1. I fixed my dryer with Thomas' excellent remote guidance, changing the timer and the switch! Fabulous guidance Thomas, with lots of money saved! I learned a lot in the process. 2. I determined that there was no dishwasher leak and in the process learned how to check for leaks and trouble shoot for some common repair issues. It cost $40.00 but as I had some water on the floor, I was ready to get a new dishwasher. Now, I am confident that it wasn't a leak and caused by putting in the dishes in a funny manner and not a repair issue. I am using the dishwasher now again with no problem. 3. I determined with Thomas' help that the washing machine had a major problem and could have spun out of control into my wall....no question, it was time to get a new washing machine! This was a well spent $40.00--I even got Thomas advice on purchasing a new washing machine and what to look for. 4. I checked the drainage on my kitchen sink and learned how to empty out the "trap" and that most likely, I am okay, but what to swap out if I have continuing issues with slow drainage. In the end, I saved lots of money, gaining and learning valuable experience! Absolutely fabulous service!"

"Robert and his crew were excellent in all aspects of the process. Robert responded right away and had a bid to us within days. Once the contract was approved they started the job right away. The crew was professional, knowledgeable, and had an excellent work ethic. I will recommend them to all my friends and will use them again. The finished job was beautiful."

"My wife and had put off a remodel of our 33-year-old bathroom until cracks in the fiberglas shower pan compelled us to act. I cut out sheetrock from the shower wall flanges and then cut out the walls. I cut a circle around the drain and popped off the base only to find the drain pipe cracked at the 45 degree fitting going into a straight 2" abs pipe about 2/3rds encased in concrete. When I tried to put a rubber cap on the pipe, a cracked opened up 3.5" down the pipe. Now I was worried. After talking to a couple of friends, I turned to Angie's List. I called Ken Fleck and, happily for me, he was in town finishing a project and would be happy to stop by and see my problem. He was impressed by the poor workmanship of the contractor we had 33 years ago and offered to fix the pipe and place the new shower pan right then. He sent me to the plumbing shop for parts while he started drilling into the concrete. By the time I got back, he said the pipe had a spiral crack all the way to the Y-coupler leading down into the concrete slab (Actually, I could see the damage.). He put in a proper drain and trap and installed the new shower pan all in a little over two hours. If I had done it on my own it would have taken a week and I would have been a nervous wreck and my wife more than a little unhappy. Thanks, Ken."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

High annual rainfall saturates the soil, delaying underground plumbing work like sewer lateral trenching. Persistent coastal fog and high humidity accelerate exterior pipe corrosion and promote rapid mold growth around leaks. Occasional winter freezing damages exposed pipes in uninsulated areas. Ground movement from California seismic activity shifts pipe alignments and cracks older lines, making post-earthquake inspections essential for your property.

Helpful?

Verify your contractor holds an active state license before starting any plumbing work. Hire professionals experienced with the older galvanized or clay pipes common in Arcata neighborhoods. Your contractor must understand regional seismic shut-off valve requirements and local wastewater compliance standards. Confirm whether your property relies on a municipal sewer or a septic system to ensure the specialist brings the right expertise.

Helpful?

Ignoring slow drains allows tree roots to destroy older clay sewer lines. Flushing grease or non-biodegradable items creates severe blockages in aging infrastructure. You accelerate scale buildup inside plumbing fixtures by failing to flush your water heater to remove mineral sediment. Deferring minor leak repairs during the brief CA dry season accelerates wood rot and pipe corrosion in damp crawl spaces.

Helpful?

Upgrading your plumbing eliminates under-floor leaks, significantly reducing mold risks and improving indoor air quality. Reliable hot water distribution provides essential comfort in this persistently cool, damp climate. Maintaining clean sewer laterals and sump pumps protects your Arcata home from basement flooding during intense rainstorms. Installing low-flow fixtures prevents household water waste and protects local wetlands from untreated runoff.

Helpful?

Minor plumbing repairs take two to four hours, while full repiping requires three to seven days. Older Arcata homes feature outdated cast iron pipes, directly extending these timelines. Permit processing and wet season scheduling backlogs also add several days to your project. Schedule non-emergency work early to avoid delays, as local professionals experience high demand during the rainy winter months.
