"Jim was referred to me by Sherri Cordelli!!! All I can say is Thank goodness!!! He picked up his phone on a Saturday, asked me pertinent questions and was at my home within 45 minutes. Jim fixed my huge shower leak, brought the necessary replacement parts with him and completed the repair within 1 hour or less to be honest. The cost????? So reasonable. As a somewhat jaded New Yorker you expect to be charged the higher end cost. Nope!!!! Jim's cost was reasonable and affordable. Thank you so much Jim you are officially my new plumber."

"Someone called back right away and schedule to come to our home at 10am. They were 4 hours late. Two guys, one seem to be professional and knew what he is doing. They checked 3 bathrooms and drain pipe, and suggested I replace the flappers, seal one of the toilets, and put epoxy around the possible crack in one of the drain pipes. The whole job took less than an hour and cost me 620 dollars. I am new a home owner and don't have much experience, and I did not request a quote in writing, but I was told in the beginning that smoke test will cost 550, if it comes to it. They did not do it. I feel they used my inexperience to gain. Not to mention, that the problem of smell remained unfixed and I did not see any changes in how toilets work."

"I hired Excavation Services to remove a 550 gal oil tank. I'm glad I did. Bill Came with his equipment and removed the tank. I was extremely impressed with his knowledge and expertise about this project. He knew what he was doing, no question about it. The tank was removed and hauled away. I'm very satisfied with Bill's work. In addition to his work experience, Bill is very professional with the administrative side of his projects. I had the tank removed on 9/23/16 and received the lab results of the soil sample 10/6, thirteen days later. Very good service, very satisfying working with professionalism."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

Start by pouring hot—but not boiling—water down the drain. The heat of the water may be enough to break down the clog. You can also try ½ cup of dish soap or 1 cup each of white vinegar and baking soda. If you choose a chemical unclogging product, ensure it’s appropriate for toilets to avoid damage.

It’s possible to snake minor drain clogs yourself, provided they sit within a foot or two of the drain itself, but it’s usually best to hire a professional plumber regardless. Even experienced DIYers have a high chance of accidentally pushing the clog further into the drain using a drain snake or another tool, so hiring a plumber is the ideal course of action. A professional plumber can use camera equipment to locate and identify the clog, and remove the entire blockage to fix your issue permanently.

If you've discovered a rather frightening buildup of brown and black gunk below your shower cover, you're not alone. The smelly sludge is often a collection of mildew and biofilm. Biofilm comes from the breakdown of soap scum, hair, skin cells, and bacteria that collects during shower time. It's quite common in a humid space and relatively easy to clean with a gentle DIY cleaning solution such as baking soda and vinegar.

It is generally not recommended to pour hot or boiling water down a drain to unfreeze pipes due to significant risks. In some cases, the sudden temperature change can cause more ice buildup or produce steam, which increases pressure and could cause the pipe to burst, leading to costly damage and potential burn injuries. While hot water might help with a partially frozen drainpipe, it is unlikely to thaw a completely blocked water pipe further down the system. Additionally, boiling water can damage plastic pipes over time. Safer and more effective methods include using a space heater near the frozen section or applying hot towels directly to the pipe.

To prevent drain clogs, perform regular maintenance and cleaning. Avoid disposing of substances like grease or coffee grounds down the sink. Additionally, installing and routinely using drain strainers can help catch debris and prevent blockages from forming.
