"Jason responded to my early morning request quickly and showed up at my house the same morning. He recognized the problem with our water heater, got it drained, disconnected, and removed before he had to leave for another scheduled appointment. He also recommended someone to look at the damaged pedestal. After the repairs to the pedestal, Jason was back promptly the next morning when he said he would arrive to install the new water heater. He was done quickly, cleaned up everything, and even let my wife know that there would most likely be air in the pipes that would cause sputtering and noise when each faucet was turned on. Consummate professional and highly recommended."

"I called several popular plumbing companies to replace an old dripping shower/tub faucet in the guest bath. All wanted to use their fixture and cut the shower tile to fit the new fixture, so I gave up. After a year or so, I joined Angie’s list and found Top Notch plumbing. Gordon had some fixture recommendations, but allowed me to purchase my own fixture that was compatible with my current installation. The overall install took about 3 hours. Gordon took care during the work to not damage any existing tile or carpet. He knows his craft and performed a very clean and professional install. Overall, I highly recommend Top Notch plumbing and will be saying goodbye to the popular TV advertising plumbers. Thanks Gordon!"

Customers say: Quick response

"The Plumber was careful and took much pride in his work. The job entailed opening up a hole in the wall to get to the leaking pipe. The Plumber took great care in how he cut the hole so it would be easy to repair the wall in a way that you can't tell the wall was cut open. While performing the repair, he was quick and complete. No more leaks. This was an emergency repair on a Saturday night and he did the repair with a great attitude. I would call them again for any plumbing work."

"First, I called Vista Plumbing for an estimate. Ray, the plumber, listened to our concerns and explained what he could do to help with the rattling problem with the pipes and the hot/cold situation in the shower.  He gave me a number for the part needed (under warranty) and asked me to call when the part was received.  Next, when the part was delivered, a time was arranged and Vista Plumbing was here within the week.  In one day the water pipes were clamped and the shower faucet was replaced.  Now, everything concerning the water pipes are good.

I was happy with the service, the knowledge, the expertise, the punctuality, and the kindness.  In the beginning, he spent a lot of time listening to our concerns and answering our questions.  In the end, I received a clean, professional job.  I would recommend Vista Plumbing to my friends and family.

I also would like to mention the woman who answers the telephone and makes the appointments.  She was wonderful and helpful, very upbeat.  It was a pleasant experience talking with her."

"The technician for Carini was very polite and professional. He performed the services and explained the issues we were having with the clogged drains. He also inspected the units outside and recommended seasonal tune ups for the systems.

Hydro jet uses water at 4,000psi to clean the inside of the mainline drain which connects all the home's drains to the city's sewer system.
Using a snake we can go through the cleanouts on the side of the house.
With the cleanouts snaked, and the blockage located, we can send the hydro jet through the sewer vent and flush out the blocked drain.

"The technician arrived on time, was extremely professional and very patient taking time to answer my questions regarding what I should be doing as a homeowner to maintain my system.
He started by sticking his head in the opening of my attic to look at the ducts & assessed what could/should be replaced. Then he inspected my AC unit, assessed its age and "state", opened the electrical panel to review the wiring, checked the refrigerant/flow and explained the basics of maintenance. We ended up going inside to look at the air filter and while their he conducted a similar inspection on my furnace. While my AC was running he used a surface thermometer to read temps at several of my registers. He took the time to explain how to clean my coil with a hose from the outside of the condenser and to take care not to use too high pressure.
In the end he made suggestions feel genuine and not like some high pressure sales tactic. I had a very positive experience and when he left I was happy to leave an A+ assessment on Angies list; however, when I reviewed what was supposed to be included in the "$39 for a Spring Air-Conditioning Tune-Up" that I paid for I realized I didn't do a good job in holding him responsible for executing everything in the package.
$39 for a 20-point Spring air-conditioning tune-up
Calibrating and leveling thermostat <- Didn't need doing I guess
Cleaning filters as needed <-- COMPLETE
Lubricating and inspecting bearings for wear  <-- didn't happen (maybe it didn't need to?)
Cleaning indoor coil (if accessible) <-- don't think it was accessible
Flushing and treating condensate drain with anti-algae product  <-- didn't happen
Inspecting condenser coil  <-- didn't get opened to look at
Monitoring operating pressures of refrigerant <-- COMPLETE
Inspecting safety devices for proper operation  <-- COMPLETE
Inspecting disconnect box for proper rating and installation <-- COMPLETE
Monitoring volts and amps on fan motor <-- Not sure
Tightening all electrical connections  <-- COMPLETE
Inspecting and testing contactor for burns and/or pits  <-- INSPECTED
Inspecting electrical for exposed wiring <-- COMPLETE
Inspecting and testing capacitors <-- INSPECTED
Inspecting fan blades <-- COMPLETE
Cleaning condenser coil and removing debris <-- Didn't happen
Inspecting service valves for proper operation <-- COMPLETE
Measuring temperature difference between supply and return <-- COMPLETE
Inspecting duct work for energy loss <-- wasn't thorough
Monitoring compressor for proper amp draw, volt draw, and wiring connections <-- Not sure
Reviewing the list after he left  I wish I would've insisted a better assessment of the ducting in my attic & that they cleaned the AC condenser coil. 
I don't think there was any willful negligence on the techs part to get out of work, and ultimately I think I paid a fair price for what was completed. Even though Excel Air missed a few things from the package I would use the company again and would even recommend them to friends with the caveat to make sure you know what services are to be rendered before they arrive (and not after like I did).

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.

There are many things that could cause your basement floor drain to back up. One significant cause of a drainage backup is flushing non-flushable items, such as wipes, paper towels, and facial tissue. Other causes of a backed-up basement floor drain include tree roots impeding the drain pipe or an accumulation of hair, oil, and grease. 

French drains may fail when they become clogged with soil granules that slip through the pores of the landscaping fabric and through the holes in the pipe. 

Over time, this debris can build up inside the pipe and prevent water flow. To prevent this failure from happening, regularly flush out your French drain and keep debris away from the inlet grate.

Bleach is generally not recommended for your shower drains. Although diluted bleach can technically help clean your drain, it will not unclog your pipes. In fact, bleach can harm your plumbing system because it’s so powerful. The bleach can change the color of your sink and even corrode metal pipes and fittings.

Often, people reach for bleach because it's already in their house. But it's worth getting a plunger or a drain snake for the job instead. It'll be a lot less money to buy a new plunger than to pay a plumber to repair or replace damaged pipes.

Your dishwasher drain hose may have a clog if your dishwasher is full of water, your dishes aren’t getting cleaned, or water takes a long time to discharge into the garbage disposal.
