"Leo went out of his way to meet my concerns about cost, collaboration with my neighbor, and how the fence would look. He submitted multiple bids giving me options as to how to do it and at what cost. He tailored his approach to my needs. His team was easy to work with. The team worked quickly, efficiently, and throughly. The fence looks great!"

"Leo was very helpful and quick to respond. We’re happy with how our 2 bathrooms turned out. Project was completed within the time promised. Our only complaint is that the workers did not clean up very well. But overall, we’re satisfied and we’ll use them again."

"It was great luck that Jason of J Drains was working on a job near my home and was able to come by after he finished that job to check my hot water heater. He fixed it right away because he spotted what was wrong quickly. Jason was very professional and polite. I recommend this company!"

"I live in a 120 yr old Victorian so the plumbing is far from being current. The clogged bathtub turned out a bit more than just a clog. Adolpho and his crew came back the next morning. In no time, they replaced the damaged pipe, and related items. As I am disabled I couldn't move the bins and other objects that blocked the basement ceiling access. They not only moved the boxes, they moved them back after they replaced the pipe. They also swept up the debris. They explained step by step what they were doing which was important to me. They were diligent, competent, and friendly. Forgot to mention, Adolpho Plumbing was very reasonable and competitive. If I need any plumbing services in the future, I will call on Aldolpho Plumbing again. TY again."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Signs that your well is dry include a decrease in water pressure, strange odors coming from faucets, cloudy, bubbly, or discolored water, and water that’s warmer than normal. Signs that your well pump is bad are similar, but you may also notice higher-than-average electric bills, strange clicking sounds, and faucets that spit or sputter.

Never use Drano on blocked toilets. You can end up with a ghastly leak because the chemicals eat away at the glue that holds pipes together just as effectively as they do with clogs. Drano is known for being particularly rough on toilets, which is why some plumbers actually dislike the product. 

Many contractors offer warranties for parts and labor. Confirm terms before hiring.

Normally, when your well pump turns on or off, you’ll hear a small click. This isn’t anything to worry about, but it can be a problem if it’s clicking continuously. This can indicate that the well pump is short cycling—the pump continuously turns on and off.

This can wear out the motor and provide uneven water flow. If this happens, you may need to get it looked at by a well pump professional to see if you need to repair the switch or pump.

Several things can ruin a septic tank over time, including dumping harsh chemicals (like bleach and ammonia), pesticides, and paint thinners down your drain because they can kill the bacteria in your septic tank. You should also make sure to only flush waste and toilet paper in your toilet—otherwise, you could clog your system.
