"I needed an evaluation of my garbage disposal and Paul gave me his professional opinion. Turns out, we didn't need work done, but he was gracious and didn't charge for the visit. I also got his opinion on putting in a set-tub, and he advised me properly. I will absolutely call him again when I need plumbing of any kind done."
"These are the guys to call-- friendly, professional, and highly skilled. They helped me choose the new water heater, made sure the old cables were replaced with new ones (thanks fellas) and had the whole job done in 5 hours--including picking up the water heater. I have total confidence in Troy and his team and will be calling them back for 2 other plumbing jobs i need done."
"Roger, Chris and John of the install team did a great job. Arrived on time and worked tirelessly throughout the day. The crew kept me informed of each step of the demolition and install process and let me take pictures so I could send family and friends. My home is 40 years old so we had a plumbing issue. West Shore sent their top plumber to fix the problem. Sorry I don't remember his name. They finished in one day as promised, even though they had to work well into the evening because of the plumbing issue. I really love my new walk-in shower."
"Amazing service. Tyler redid 2 of my boyfriend’s bathroom. He took out the bathtub and installed a walk in shower because my boyfriend is 86 and has trouble getting out of bathtubs. He also added a barn door shower in both bathrooms., he put in shower seats and grab bars in both bathrooms. He even came back to fix some issues we were having. He is considerate, understanding and really easy to talk to. I highly recommend this company."
"Andre and Premium Plumbing & Boilers are legit. Superior service, reliable, dependable and quality work. Do yourself a favor and hire Andre. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
"Clay Hiles and CJ were AWESOME. They were very courteous and hard working. And they were very disciplined in cleaning up a plumbing clog that required some serious effort. Thank you fellas."
"Bordner was a wonderful company to complete and repair the mess left by an independent contractor who destroyed our small but, functional bath & shower. Bordner's install technician, Mike Williams is professional, polite, knowledgeable and a problem solver. He came into a horrible mess and took on each challenge with a smile. Thank you Mike Williams. The bathroom is beautiful!! Ask for Mije Williams."
"Optic Sewer Pipe LLC did a great job with our sewer camera inspection. They were very professional and explained everything they found clearly. The camera inspection gave us a much better understanding of the condition of our sewer line. Excellent service and highly recommended!"
"Breath easy did a great job on our radon mitigation! Would definitely recommend! They covered our crawl space with a vapor barrier and routed the radon pipe through our garage and roof to avoid the unsightly exterior pipe. Our radon levels went from 9 to 1.48 as a result. Thanks!"
The best types of piping for underground main water lines are PVC and PEX pipes because of their ability to be buried and withstand high levels of water pressure. PVC and PEX pipes are resistant to rusting and corrosion, which makes them ideal for transporting water. Copper is another efficient type of pipe for underground water lines because of their resistance to rusting and leakage. Again, copper pipes are on the higher end of the price range.
It’s safe to carry out minor repairs on small cracks and leaks on copper pipes by yourself. Since copper melts under heat, you can solder a copper pipe to repair what’s broken. Note that it’s better to solder two couplings and a copper pipe together to fix minor leaks. This gives you some additional material for a stronger repair.
Toilet handles can get stuck for a couple of reasons, but it’s commonly an issue with the chain. Remove the lid and check the chain’s connection, running from the flapper to the handle arm. Sometimes the chain gets snagged on or against another part of the tank.
The chain might not have the right tension. For example, a chain that’s too short can make the handle feel stuck. Check that there’s some slack in the chain. Old, worn-out flappers can get stuck, too. In this case, you’ll need to see which size toilet flapper you need.
Start by inspecting visible pipes for signs of corrosion, moisture, or discoloration, which can indicate a leak. You should also listen for sounds like hissing or dripping, which may point you toward a leak. Moisture meters and infrared cameras can also help you identify areas of increased moisture around your home, which can also signify a leak.
The only downsides to hiring a master plumber is that they charge a higher hourly rate than a less experienced plumber. Plus, master plumbers likely have less availability, given the demand for highly experienced professionals. The benefits far outweigh the cons, though.
Upsides include the following:
More professional repair
More experience fixing your specific issue
Recourse if something goes wrong
Warranty for the work (in some cases)
Some insulation from lawsuits if the plumber gets injured on your property
