"Glenn and Josh are great guys. We had an emergency with Sewer blockage and they were at our house within an hour on a Friday evening. They cleaned it and also pointed out that we had old cast iron pipes which had cracks. Subsequently, we engaged them to replace all our sewer lines. The work was done within 3 - 4 days and they kept us up to speed on every aspect. The work was excellent (and they showed pictures to prove it). We would hire them for any of our plumbing needs and highly recommend them!!"

"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!"

"Gustavo was a big help identifying the issue, suggesting what replacement part to order, and installing the part itself. Communication was clear and informative, and pricing was reasonable. I would highly recommend Gustavo, and will be calling again next time we need a plumber."

Their response time is outstanding, and their prices are very reasonable—especially for Silicon Valley. I highly recommend them for anyone needing dependable plumbing service."

Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts

Emergency plumbers charge a significantly higher rate than for standard service, typically 1.5 to 3 times the normal hourly cost. You can expect to pay between $100 and $500 per hour, with an average of around $200 per hour. In addition to the higher hourly rate, many plumbers charge a flat emergency service or trip fee, which can be between $150 and $300. The final cost depends on the timing of the call; prices are highest for major holidays, followed by weekends and after-hours service on weekdays. For a complex job on a major holiday, a master plumber's rate could reach as high as $600 per hour.

First, check that you have cut off the water supply to your toilet. This is a project that can only be done safely if running water cannot reach your toilet fixture. If you're seeing water trickle out after you've confirmed that the water supply is shut off, you can probably rest assured that what you're seeing isn't a problem. It's common for leftover water to spill out when you're removing your toilet's fill valve. If something goes wrong while you're working on your toilet, you'll need to look at your home's policy to see if your homeowner insurance covers water damage.

Most faucets come with a rubber or plastic gasket that prevents leaks—but that’s not always the case. If your faucet doesn’t come with a gasket or it’s leaking, use a caulk gun to seal the gaps and prevent water damage.

Hiring a reliable and professional plumber involves researching plumbing companies in your area, speaking with the plumbers to get a sense of their services and qualifications, and checking online for licensing and customer reviews. You can ask the following questions to help find the best and most reputable plumber in your area:

  • Do you charge by the hour or by the project?

  • Are you licensed, certified, and insured?

  • Does your work come with any type of warranty?

  • Do you have customer references I could speak with?

  • Do you have experience handling my particular issue?

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.
