"I highly recommend Robert as a plumber. He is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, responsive and honest. His work is of the highest quality and he always provides excellent customer service. He is always willing to explain in detail what needs to be done and is very open with his pricing. His prices are fair and he never tries to upsell you on unnecessary services. I have been using his services for years and have never had any issues. He is the only plumber I ever trust with my home."

"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!"

"Jesus was awesome - not only was he the first to respond to my inquiry, he fit me in quickly after a weekend and did the best job of any plumber I have ever had service my condo. Not all plumbers do a thorough or ideal set up and Jesus corrected what was leaking and fixed prior issues. Personable, professional, and reasonably priced, I am definitely hiring him again for any future plumbing work!"

"It went really well. I called for an appointment on Monday; not an emergency, so a Thursday call was fine. There was a confirmation call the night before and then one in the morning to tell me the plumber would be there in about 20 mins. Mario Q. arrived promptly; very professional, in a mask, gloves, booties. He looked everything over and then gave us a quote. He also suggested that I use the coupon from the site - and waited while I printed it. The work was efficient - with hardware store runs, he was done in about 7 hours. He climbed under the house to make sure nothing was leaking; he did see a few areas of concern that weren't related to the work done today. We'll have to save up for those. But for now - we have a lovely new toilet that doesn't have to be jiggled, and a faucet that turns smoothly. Well done Mario."

"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

Yes, an ambitious homeowner could decide to replace their own toilet. A person attempting to do a DIY toilet installation should keep in mind that the average toilet weighs between 100 and 120 pounds. That means that you'll need to be comfortable lifting and carrying your old toilet and replacement toilet during both phases of the project. Additionally, homeowners will need to have basic plumbing knowledge to avoid plumbing problems that could result in messy, expensive water damage in their bathrooms. Hiring a plumbing pro from the get-go can help you avoid damaging your plumbing or your new toilet.

There’s no way around it—a burst pipe is often a homeowner’s worst nightmare, and the situation can range from semi-serious to dire. If you don’t catch the leak, it can lead to thousands of dollars worth of water damage.

At best, you’ll notice a burst pipe quickly, turn off your water supply, and use a wet vacuum to clean up minor flooding. A plumber can repair the pipe, and you won’t be left with a major bill. At worst, severe water damage can collapse floors, ceilings, walls, and foundations, sometimes leading to major repairs and renovations.

While freezing pipes are less of a concern in warmer climates, pipe insulation can still be beneficial because it helps prevent condensation on cold water pipes, reducing the risk of moisture-related issues like mold growth. It also helps maintain water temperature, reducing the energy needed to heat and cool the water, which can ultimately lower your utility bills.

The standard size of a pipe for the main water line ranges between 3/4 inch to 1 inch in diameter, but ultimately, the size will depend on your household size and its square footage. Depending on the size of the property, the water line size can range upwards to 1.5” in diameter for a very large house nearing 10,000 sq. ft. Incorrect pipe sizing can lead to potential damages and leaks. To avoid incorrect sizing, consider getting help from a local plumbing professional who can help you choose the right size and material for your pipe.

Yes, plumbers replace bathtub faucets, but they’ll charge labor costs to do so. A plumber can charge $50 to $100 or more per hour for labor plus the cost of the faucet. Labor may not break the bank for a simple job, but it could cost significantly more for complex jobs like installing a waterfall tub filler or freestanding bathtub faucet if either falls into your must-have bathroom remodel ideas.
