"Francisco is a pro! He came promptly even though it was a last minute request. His quote was several hundred dollars cheaper than the others. He was fast and efficient. Job was done within an hour. Definitely a keeper! . I would highly recommend FDL to friends and family. Don’t bother with other plumbers. FDL is knowledgeable, efficient and reasonable. He made my day and restored my faith in good people."

"Robert responded to my Angi's List request within an hour of placing my request. He was very prompt with his communication, arrived exactly when he said heâ d arrive. He drove all the way from Oakland to San Jose to buy a sump pump that I needed during the biggest storm of the year because every other store was sold out.. He finished the job when he could have easily postponed. I recommend This plumber hands down."

"Cornelio set an appointment the next day when I messaged to fix two faucets in our bathroom. He made a free inspection, gave us a very reasonable quote, and offered to work on the fix the same day. He explained to us how the cartridge in the faucets are clean and unclogged, but the faucet body from the cheap brand is clogged and not serviceable. He recommended replacement faucets that should last longer and serviceable. We appreciated his honesty and would ask for his service again!"

"I’m very much satisfied with Francisco for the quick fix on a leaking pressure reducing valve under our garage ceiling.He has done it neatly good and best of all his price is very much competitive way better the other who responded to me from Angi’s. His over 28 years as plumber as he claimed , he’s proven me on this repair. He even outpaced himself probably that after he finished the job offered me a generous discount from our agreed orig. quote.Can’t get that all the time. He’s a pro,organized, neat on his job and best all I’ve felt his honesty. I would definitely do business with him In the future. And also would highly recommend Francisco to my neighbors and fiends should a need for one comes . Thank You Francisco.Mr FDL. Gonzalo"

"Plumbing 1 builders was the perfect team to come and help us with our needs. We got a full hardware replacement for our shower. They were quick and on time when it came to the quote process. They offered us the most competitive price in our area, while also being the most professional with the overall process. They didn’t try to upsell us on anything or spook us about our current set up, which did happen with other plumbers who came to give us a quote. They were quick and professional with the work as well. Everything exceeded my expectations in terms of execution. On top of that, they caught a weird error that was done by the builders and went out of their way to find a solution. We will most definitely reach out to them for any plumbing needs going forward!"

Affordable Plumbers FAQs, answered by experts

To create a siphon break and remove any chance of dirty sink water or water that backs up into the sink from getting into your dishwasher, your dishwasher drain hose needs to have a high loop or an air gap device as part of its installation. All building codes require at least a high loop. In many places, it’s necessary to install an air gap device to meet the code.

A toilet flapper will remain open when the chain that it is connected to is too short. The chain should lift the flapper just enough to allow it to open the rest of the way on its own. The chain should have just about half an inch of slack.

Watch for sinkholes in your yard. Also, if the water pressure in your sinks, showers, and other fixtures is notably lower, this is usually a sign that an underground water line is leaking. This affects sprinkler lines and can make the sprinklers shoot out water with very little water pressure, meaning they won’t water your lawn and garden as effectively as normal.

When positioning a pot filler, it should be mounted at a height that allows for convenient access without obstructing the cooking area. A general guideline is to place it 18 to 24 inches above the stove. For a more customized height, measure your most-used pots and install the filler 5 to 10 inches above your tallest one. Regarding horizontal placement, while centering the pot filler can be aesthetically pleasing and ensure it reaches all burners, it is often safer to install it to the left or right of the cooking surface. This placement helps you avoid reaching over a hot stove and reduces the risk of the filler itself getting hot from a large boiling pot. If you do choose to center it, be careful to avoid burns.

You might be able to find your pipe leak by doing a visual inspection around your appliances and under your sink. Don’t forget to check your water heater too. If you find moisture or puddles of water, then you know you’re on the right track—you may need a repair or water heater replacement.

Knowing how to find a water leak can be tricky, but you can try the paper towel method. Lay paper towels on the floor and see where the moisture lands. You can also wrap toilet paper around pipes to locate a small leak.
