"Aidrian is the best! I had an emergency leak late on a Sunday night and he came right out and fixed everything, game me advice on how to handle repairs and educated me on what to do in the future if that happens. I then had him come out another time to install a garbage disposal. He is so easy to contact, on time, clean, professional and gave me a far better price than anyone else quoted. Itâ s great to see the price he takes in his work. A real perfectionist! He is the only person id trust for future plumbing related issues at my new house."

"He approaches people as if he wants a customer not just a job. By working with me we replaced my hot water heater for $400 less than anyone else. I intend to use him on every plumbing job as he is very fair and honest. His quote is "He tries to do the right thing""

The installers were professional and were able to finish the project in one day . This included floor, wall and plumbing work before installing the finished product. It came out beautiful, we highly recommend Bath Planet."

"Bruce and Bill of Williams and Associates Mechanical Contracting recently removed and replaced my 18 year old oil fired boiler and added an indirect fired water heater. I had been saving for this project for over a year and had been geeking out in my avid research (Thanks Internet!) of products available, reviews and costs, as well as the reputation and reliability of local heating and plumbing contractors. I knew what I wanted, I just needed to stay within my budget and find a contractor I could trust. It is therefore, my pleasure to let others know, on the same web review sites that I referred to, how overwhelming pleased I am to have worked with Bruce Williams and his team. They skillfully removed and installed the heating system in a day, took pride in their work and took the time to explain the new system and to fully answer all my questions. Bruce and Bill clearly like what they do for a living, have great people skills and work very well together. I was able to get the very best of products and still come well under budget. I cannot thank these guys enough! Honest, Professional and Reliable! My dusty, unfinished basement with my new Viessmann boiler, Carlin burner and HTP indirect fired water heater is now my favorite part of the house!"

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

A shower diverter and a shower valve serve different functions, though some modern models combine them into a single unit. A shower diverter is a specific type of valve that directs the flow of water between different fixtures, such as from a tub spout to a showerhead or handheld sprayer. In contrast, a shower valve (often called a mixing valve) controls the water temperature and turns the shower on and off. A shower system can have both a diverter valve and a mixing valve to manage its functions.

If you know the job is going to be extensive (and you don’t like surprises), hiring a Roto-Rooter specialist may make sense for you. You’ll know how much you’re going to pay right away.

That said, hiring the best plumber isn’t solely about price. If you've worked with a plumber you trust before or have a list of plumbing services you need tackled at your home, working with a plumber might be a better choice for you.

The cost to hire a plumber ranges from $175 to $450 for a simple job, with the average cost per hour ranging from $45 to $200. Depending on the job, some plumbers charge a flat rate or service fee of $300 on average. Expect to pay more for complex jobs and emergency plumbing repairs, but minor adjustments, diagnostics, and small repairs will cost less. 

Many plumbers offer pressure checks as a part of routine inspections, so if you’re already scheduling a plumbing service for another issue, it’s worth asking them to test your water pressure while they’re there.

A house has two main water shut-off valves. One water valve location is inside the house. If your home is connected to a municipal water supply, you’ll find it on the perimeter of the house on the side that faces the street. If your home uses well water, that valve could come in from any side. The other main valve is near where your property meets the street.

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.
