"I am extremely pleased with the work that was done on my bathroom. I was very nervous and stressed when picking out a contractor and not sure what to expect. After this experience I feel comfortable with trusting them with any remodel needs. Lou was very thorough in explaining his ideas for a remodel and what he could do and how long it would take. Jann was helpful with picking out fixtures and designs for the bathroom and always replied to my emails within the same day. I was told as the project was going on what would be done that day and was kept updated every step of the way. The main reason for the remodel was to create more space and provide a safer bathroom with grab bars and other things. This required space to be made, and all the fixtures to be moved and replaced with ones that would work better in the new spaces. It seemed like alot of work in my eyes but Lou works really quick and is very skilled in all aspects ( electrical, plumbing, etc.). The bathroom looks great and it works exactly as I had requested. Overall the most important thing to me is knowing that he takes great pride in his work and stands by everything he does.

"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

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?

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.

Helpful?

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?

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.
