"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!"
Pipes most often burst during winter and early spring because those seasons experience the coldest temperatures that can freeze pipes. Pipes typically begin to freeze when the outside temperature falls below 20 degrees Fahrenheit—but it’s not a hard and fast rule.
The largest risk is any period of time when outdoor temperatures fall below freezing for six hours or more. That’s an average winter night in many areas of the United States, so it’s best to take precautions before winter begins, like insulating your pipes.
Yes, you can change a bathtub faucet without changing the valve, as long as the new faucet is compatible with your existing valve system. Most manufacturers design their faucet trims (handles and spouts) to work with their standard valve bodies. However, you'll need to match the new faucet to your valve type, whether it's a compression, cartridge, or ball-type valve. Mixing brands can be problematic, but you can bring your old faucet parts to the hardware store and ask about compatibility.
To help your plumber understand your situation quickly and help facilitate your repair, you should be ready with your name, address, whether the plumbing problem is an emergency, whether you tried to fix the problem yourself and the steps you took, and your availability for the plumber to pay a visit.
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.
It can be helpful to open one or two faucets before turning on the water main again. Turning off the main shut-off valve will introduce some air into your pipes. Having at least one faucet open should allow the air to clear as the water refills the pipes. Try to open faucets far from the main shut-off valve and on the highest floor of the house.
