"He was here within a short amount of time checked it all out then med sure it all was running perfect. He went beyond that and told me how my line needed to b more even. I thought that was totally fantastic. He actually cared. That's rare. Most just want to get it over with and leave on a weekend but he took his time to help me. Very nice person. I would gladly recommend him to anyone needing a plumber. I will call him again if I have future issues."
"Getting a walk in tub is expensive no matter who you use. My experience thus far is with installation only and I must say my install went great. It has been over a month and no issues with my tub so I cannot comment on repair process with American Standard."
"Excellent service for a virtual format. Would definitely recommend this very affordable alternative to the traditional technician having to come to your home to evaluate and fix a malfunctioning appliance."
"Alicia Hinzman is a saving grace. Amongst all the chaos at my house she came in sat me down gave me options and a company willing to finance the job. I would definitely recommend her and Dabella for any bathroom remodeling and just for some good wholesome conversation and exactly what I needed. Thanx Alicia hope you know you got a friend for life!

Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts
Older faucet fixtures may have some corrosion, leaving them stuck. Try a few techniques to loosen the fixtures.
Wrap the fixture with a towel and tap the base with a hammer.
Use a putty knife to gently remove any caulk that may be holding the handle or fixture in place.
Apply a few drops of penetrating oil around the base of the fixture or around the nuts.
Purchase a faucet pulling tool to pop the fixture loose.
A two-way cleanout can help if there’s already a clog, but the best strategy to prevent one is by not rinsing grease, oil, or fat down your drains, not flushing or rinsing coffee grounds or egg shells down your drains, flushing only human waste and toilet paper (so no diapers, period products, bathroom wipes, or paper towels), and using drain guards on all of your drains.
Repairing a bathroom leak costs an average of $280, but shower and tub leaks can cost up to $500, depending on the issue. Ongoing leaks behind or under your tub can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and hidden water damage in your bathroom, so if your leak has been going on for a while, you could pay several thousand dollars to remove the tub and address the damage underneath.
You can prevent pipes from bursting by taking several preventive measures. For example:
Open under-sink cabinets to allow warm air to flow around the pipes.
Let faucets drip to keep water moving.
Add insulation to crawl spaces or pipes to keep them warm.
In general, PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PEX (polyethylene), and copper are the three piping materials used in new constructions when adding water supply lines. There are some caveats. PEX and copper are considered ideal when running lines that will handle hot water because they are not at risk for melting and warping the way that PVC piping can. At $0.40 to $4per linear foot, PEX is considered more affordable than copper pipes, which cost $2 to $12per linear foot. PVC is considered appropriate in water lines for cold taps only.
