"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!"
Drain pipes carry wastewater from sinks, toilets, showers, and other fixtures to the main sewer line. They’re typically located within the walls and floors and beneath a home’s foundation. Meanwhile, sewer pipes transport collected wastewater to a septic tank or a municipal sewer system.
Installing a drain pipe costs about $600, ranging from $150 to $2,000, depending on the type of drain, accessibility, proximity to drain lines, and whether you’re installing new drain pipes or replacing old ones. Replacing a main drain line can cost over $2,000, whereas replacing a p-trap costs around $150 on average. Keep in mind that new water pipe installation projects are bid by fixture, like kitchen sink, toilet, or main water line. You can expect to pay $70 to $1,000 per fixture.
Your typical household tools will not cut a metal pipe. To cut a metal pipe, you’d need more specialized tools like a pipe cutter or circular saw. Do not attempt to use these tools without taking proper safety precautions and wearing safety gear. It’s usually safer to let a pro cut a metal pipe, especially if you’re not confident in your skills with a heavy-duty saw.
Your pipes will not freeze just because you’ve turned your water heater off. Rather, pipes freeze when temperatures outside drop below freezing and the pipes are not properly insulated. In fact, leaving your faucets trickling with warm water (from the water heater) is one of the best ways to prevent your pipes from freezing in the winter.
Your water heater itself may have problems in the cold, so it’s important to winterize it each year. In addition, keep an eye on it throughout the year for problems and address any issues accordingly. For instance, here’s what to do if your water heater is leaking from the top.
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.
