"Ruben replaced our residential water heater because, after 20 years, the tank was leaking. I first called another plumber who charged $50 for a house call so he could tell me I needed a new WH. Then he quoted a replacement cost I couldn't swallow, so I started calling around. When I spoke to Ruben, he asked that I send a couple of pix of the WH and its location and quoted the job over the phone. He was on time, more affordable by almost 30% and he cleaned up afterwards . . . I couldn't have asked for anything more. Keep up the good work, Ruben."

"I had a leak in the cold water faucet, and tried to fix it myself. I replaced the fixture but the leak didn't stop completely. Since the plumbing in my house is 30 yrs.old and the leak kept moving every time I tightened it, I decided to call a pro. The plumber said I was on the right track but didn't use enough plumber's putty. He replaced both faucets at my request. Problem solved.

"Quick response and knowledgeable. I need the wax gasket on my toilet replaced and they were quick to respond and do the repair at a very reasonable price. They ended up replacing the water valve on the toilet also as it wouldn't shut off due to all the silt in the lines. Still super happy with their service and friendliness. Would definitely recommend them!"

Affordable Plumbers FAQs, answered by experts

There are many reasons why water pipes leak. The most common reasons include clogs, broken rubber seals that deteriorate over time, corrosion on copper, brass, or galvanized pipes, and damaged pipe joints.

You might also have a leak if your water pressure is too high (usually higher than 60 psi) or if your fixtures have a crack. Moreover, natural changes in the area around your underground pipes, like growing tree roots, flooding, or earthquakes, can cause leaky water pipes.

Yes, if you live in a climate with extended periods of frost or snow, it’s best to winterize the sink and avoid potential bursting. Similar to winterizing a garden hose, turn off your water from the source. Once turned off, open the faucet so the remaining water completely drains out. You can also pour a small amount of antifreeze down the sink drain so any trapped water won’t freeze.

The size of the pipe you use for your shower depends on the part of the shower you’re installing. Shower drainpipes have a 2-inch diameter, and the water supply lines (both hot and cold) have a ½-inch diameter. You may want to slightly increase the size of the vertical pipe if you have dual showerheads. Check the local building code prior to installation for guidance.

You should flush your water heater at least once a year, with some experts recommending a schedule of every six to 12 months (e.g., once in the spring and fall). The ideal frequency depends on several factors.

If your area has hard water with high mineral concentrations, you should flush the heater more often—typically every four to six months. Additionally, a water heater that is used frequently may require more frequent flushing than one that is used less often.

Regular flushing is important because it removes sediment buildup from the bottom of the tank. This maintenance helps improve the heater's efficiency, extend its lifespan, and prevent issues like clogs, overheating, and increased energy consumption. You can either learn to perform this task yourself or arrange for a service plan with a professional plumber.

Local building codes sometimes require sewer ejector pumps to have their own vents. If so, these dedicated vents run upward through the home and exit through the roof. Otherwise, the pump’s vent pipe can connect to an existing vent stack. Regardless of which method you use, venting is an important part of installing a sewer ejector pump because it helps equalize pressure and prevents gases from building up inside your home.
