"The folks @ Mike Counsil have done work for us in the past, including the heater installation and unclogging/cleaning a backed up drain. Any time we've had work done by them, they are always right on time and very professional. They get the job done and clean up after they're finished to ensure there's no clean up for the customer. I highly recommend them for all of your plumbing needs."

Customers say: Quality work

"ICR Plumbing provided exceptional service. I had a major problem where water was coming through the garage from the bathtub drain, "waste over flow " Israel was extremely knowledgeable and fixed the problem in less than a day's time. First he had to remove a heavy bookcase that was nailed to garage wall to access area, he removed and replaced all the sheet rock and pipe connected to bathtub. He did an awesome job and was very personable and honest, His price was reasonable. I would recommend him to anyone in need of home improvement, as he is knowledgeable in many areas and does great work! I will definitely call him again on more projects! He is The Best!. He went above and beyond his call of duty and helped me cut up other stuff with his electric saw so I could go to the dump. He even emptied my lawn mower bag for me which was not part of the job. He also is an expert at plumbing and has many years of experience."

"At first the company's name made us imagine they were just about clearing clogged drain lines, but we got superb service on a project to replace leaking shower faucets in the bathroom. Gerardo came to see what was needed and was very helpful in finding a quick and cost effective way to source the materials. He was completely committed to taking care of his customers. He returned to do the installation at the time we had agreed would be convenient for us, despite having been up working till all hours of the night on another emergency job. He even spent the time before returning to his emergency site to check and make sure the existing shower head was free of grit and working as it should. We absolutely will want this company, and him, for any future projects."

"Gabriel Nieto of GN Plumbing did a fine job. He was able to visually detect a leak where the line from the propane tank enters the house, and pressure tested the gas line from the propane tank to the house to confirm the leak. With the help of his assistant, he repaired the line (replacing worn out portions of the line) within a couple of hours, confirmed there were no other leaks in the line (via additional pressure testing), and re-lit the gas furnace and water heater. Only complaint is the extreme expense ($890)."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

Common drain issues include slow-running drains, whether in a sink or shower, clogged drains, a bad smell, and water backing up into a sink, shower, or bathtub. Causes range from hair, grease, roots, or toilet paper clogging the drainpipes to flooding outside the home, which prevents sewer lines from draining properly.

As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with proper care and maintenance, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.

A plumber can get to the bottom of your smelly drain and clean it with specialized jets, hoses, and drain-safe cleaning solutions. It is also smart to call in a plumber if you suspect your drain smell is coming from a stubborn clog or even a leaky pipe.

While technically possible, it is unlikely that a clogged toilet will fix itself. Clogs caused by water-soluble materials like toilet paper or human waste may eventually break down in the water, allowing flow to resume. However, this can take time, and any clogs from solid objects require manual removal. In most scenarios, especially if you don't have another bathroom, it is best to fix the clog yourself or call a plumber.

Your sewer line can get grimy quickly. To prevent sludge buildup in your sewer line, pour a mixture of 1/3 cup of vinegar and 1/3 cup of baking soda down each drain in your home once a month. After about 30 minutes, flush the drain with hot water.

Some plumbers recommend 3/4 cup of bleach instead to clean any germs and bacteria that may build up in your sewer line. But this won’t break down any active clogs, and it cannot be combined with vinegar, as the mixture will create a toxic, hazardous gas.
