"I had a great experience with Mr. Plunger Plumbing. They were professional, reliable, and did an excellent job replacing my water heater. They explained everything clearly, showed up when they said they would, and made sure the job was done right. I’m very happy with the work and would absolutely recommend them to anyone who needs a good, trustworthy plumber."
"True Professionalism and Determination!! My local plumber did not feel he had proper equipment to snake the main septic line from house. Worried about baffles. Diagnosed the problem as a â soft blockageâ in the main septic line between house and tank. This was the cause of the washing machine stand pipe overflowing with water during drain cycle Septic company recommended Ace Electric Sewer. Paul came out with an assistant and dug up the septic cover to try to snake the blockage with a special blade on the end of the snake. That got some movement of water but not enough Water blasted the line from basement side clean out port which sits above the sump pump hole. That finished the job and water was flowing again. Considered a â sludge blockageâ which was probably due to age of house. Never had seen this type of service performed before, but it was truly needed at the end of June 2023 Not the easiest project, fair price, will definitely hire again if needed"
"All of the people I dealt with at A.D.B. were very professional. The only issue was when I asked for references. The woman I spoke to said she would contact prior clients to make sure I could contact them. A week and a half later I was told that they do not give out clients names. If I was told that originally, I could have had the work started sooner. But the workers were quite knowledgeable. And answered all of the questions that I had. One reason I hired them is because their license is with the DEEP. The other estimates I received, those companies had licenses with the state as plumbers. I just felt that they may have had more knowledge on how to tackle the job. And another bonus is that the contract includes a one year guarantee. Not that expect I will need to call them back but it is good peace of mind. Overall, a great experience."
"Frank was very thorough. I had a new dishwasher install and he came to look at the setup and quote the job, and turned out he did the job the same day in the timeframe he quoted. He went through everything he did and made sure I was satisfied. I know he values his work when he said he warranties his work from any issues that may arise. I think I found my plumber for all my future plumbing needs!"
"I was in desperate need of a plumber. I was doing a DIY remodel and had a strict deadline. Demo was done and I got to a point where I was not experienced or confident enough to do. Mike should up the next morning and layed new pipes for shower and hooked up new shower pan and drain within 3 or so hrs. I was thrilled! He saved me and I'm able to finish on time! Wife is happy. Thanks Mike"
"This was a small project to convert a second outside faucet from town water to well water. Plumber and assistant, both friendly and polite, arrived two hours late because of a very difficult job prior to mine which took much longer than anticipated. I was called and made aware of that fact. That was not a problem for me because my job was small and not urgent. The work was completed in about an hour from start to finish. The work is high quality and well done. Cleanup was complete. Cost was surprisingly good at only $214 total; much less then the original estimate. This company is HIGHLY recommended! Thanks guys! Great job!"
Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts
Protect your family by testing water for lead before and after plumbing work in older Middletown homes. Ensure professionals install required anti-scald valves on new showers to protect young children. During winter renovations, plan for temporary relocation since extended water shutoffs risk freezing the property. Maintain water seals in all floor drains to block dangerous sewer gas from reaching pets and children.
Helpful?
Historic properties in Middletown feature original cast iron drains and lead supply lines that complicate modern connections. Slab-on-grade foundations make accessing pipes significantly more difficult compared to homes with full basements. Furthermore, properties near the river face elevated groundwater tables that interfere with drainage work. Homes relying on private septic systems require strict evaluations before adding new fixtures to manage flow volume.
Helpful?
In Middletown, a slow drip or minor pipe condensation in uninsulated basements warns of impending freeze-and-burst events during cold winters. Slow drains in older homes signal collapsing clay or Orangeburg sewer lines rather than simple clogs. Address these warning signs immediately. Minor leaks point to system-wide failure of aging cast iron pipes, while local water pressure fluctuations easily worsen small drips.
Helpful?
Homeowners who skip required permits for plumbing installations like water heaters create severe issues during home sales and void insurance claims. Attempting do-it-yourself work beyond minor repairs violates Connecticut regulations requiring licensed professionals. Additionally, making spot repairs on aging pipes leads to repeat failures. Always winterize outdoor fixtures before the first hard frost to prevent severe seasonal damage.
Helpful?
Purely cosmetic plumbing updates like swapping a faucet proceed without permits. Functional changes, such as relocating drains or adding fixtures, trigger mandatory inspections and require adherence to current Connecticut efficiency standards. Opening walls for cosmetic upgrades exposes deteriorated pipes in older homes, transforming a simple aesthetic swap into a complex functional overhaul that requires immediate system upgrades.
