"Lets start with the good. Our installers were exceptional. They were professional, friendly, neat, apologetic for the customer service issues and delays that were out of their control. If I ever have to do any more remodeling it would be an absolute pleasure to have Tyler, Colton, Domingo or Arnulfo back in my home. Now the unpleasant. The customer service rep that was assigned to our case caused us alot of distress. First the job was delayed 2 weeks before we were to start. My husband and I had both taken the week off from work, found coverage for our shifts, so it was not like we could just say "oh we don't need the week off, we can work". We not only had to take the original week off, but then we had to take another week off for when the job was rescheduled. When we tried to explain the bind that put us in, we were basically told, to bad, you either take the new date or cancel the job. The day the rescheduled job was supposed to start no one showed up. We called the project manager to find out what was happening. Well he forgot to schedule it. Luckily he did manage to get two crews out to our house for the rest of the week since we had two bathrooms being done at once. Then we find out that the person who measured did not take into account the plumbing and electrical locations. We had to get an extra plumber our there to move a pipe, and they needed to put a huge new whole in the opposite wall for a new breaker box. Then the electrician canceled and we had to wait a week, and take another day off from work for him to come. Lastly lets not even discuss trying to get an inspector out there when they were supposedly scheduled to come. If it wasn't for how wonderful Tyler, Colton, Domingo and Arnulfo were I might have told the company to just come get their stuff and cancel. I am still traumatized by the whole experience with the project manager and all the delays and screw ups. However because the 4 guys did such an amazing job I do love my jacuzzi tub and walk in shower."

"The Groundworks folks (formerly Bay Area Underpinning) applied their foundation-underpinning technology and expertise to extend to bedrock, level, square up the foundation for an extensive house remodel. I was most impressed by the young man onsite supervisor, Josh who answered all my work done, how and why questions. I wish this info was provided up front by the estimator. (My design-build remodel contractor referred this company)."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

To clean gunk out of a sink drain, pour in a half cup of baking soda, then 1 cup of white vinegar. The two will react chemically; let them fizz for 15 minutes, then rinse with boiling water. Repeat these steps if necessary for particularly dirty sink drains, and consider a drain snake if there are clogs.

Plumbers use a variety of tools to help unclog the toughest of drain clogs, but the most common tools they use are drain snakes and augers. They try a plunger or drain snake to start, then move to heavy-duty augers, and finally try using a hydro jetter to blast away the clog with high-pressure water. Hiring a plumber to unclog a drain costs $125 to $300, largely depending on the extent and location of the clog and which of these methods is best for clearing it.

Yes, shower water goes into the septic tank. Shower water is a type of greywater, and in fact, all water used in a home with a septic system—including water from sinks, toilets, the dishwasher, and the washing machine—drains into the tank. When shower water enters the tank, debris like soap and hair travels with it. The solid debris sinks to the bottom to become sludge, while soap residue joins the scum layer at the top. The remaining water is treated in the tank before moving to the drain field for further treatment and dispersal. It is important to avoid putting oil or harsh chemicals down any drain, as they can cause clogs or disrupt the beneficial bacteria required for proper wastewater management in the septic system.

Running water can help melt ice inside the pipe, but only up to a certain point. If your pipe is frozen solid, adding water will not likely resolve the issue. Water will begin to flow through the affected pipe once the area is heated by a plumber, signaling the issue is getting resolved.

You generally cannot replace a 10-inch rough-in toilet with a 12-inch model without making significant plumbing updates. A 12-inch rough-in toilet will not fit a 10-inch rough-in space because the floor drain is in the wrong position. To accommodate the larger toilet, you would need to move the drainpipe, which could cost between $0.75 and $30 per linear foot, plus labor. In most cases, it is more cost-effective and simpler to purchase a new 10-inch rough-in toilet. However, it is possible to install a 10-inch rough-in toilet in a 12-inch space by using a longer connector.
