"I am very satisfied with this company. Their customer service and responsiveness is top notch. What I appreciated the most is while other plumbers had objections about my project, the guys from InstaPlumbing were solution oriented. They definitely knew what to do! Also, the price they quoted me was very fair compared to other price quotes received from other plumbers (the ones with objections)."
"We had the nicest gentleman come and give us an estimate first. He came back several days later and put in new piping in our basement. The job even came in under the estimate. I would definitely recommend this company."
"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"
"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."
"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!"
"This was the second time we used H L Bowman for our plumbing needs and we have been impressed both times. Their plumbers are prompt, courteous, and friendly, in addition to being great at their craft. For this visit, I had a leak under a kitchen sink and did not realize that I needed to have the entire faucet replaced. The plumber recommended the closest plumbing supply store and waited while I selected the one I wanted. He efficiently did the replacement. Very happy with H L Bowman and would highly recommend them."
"After 35 years working in home improvements I dealt with lot of plumbers and to keep it short Todd and Mike are top professionals in their field! Knowledgeable, dependable and after dealing with most of plumbers in my area they are the only one that responded to my needs!"
"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
Schedule regular inspections, fix minor issues promptly, and ensure proper drainage.
If you're dealing with a clogged sink drain, you may be able to avoid removing the drain by using a plunger to dislodge the clog. While we associate plungers with toilets, they can do the same job with your sink drain. Be gentle, though, as forceful movements can push clogs further into your plumbing system and make them more difficult to remove. Additionally, make sure you’re using a sink plunger—with a flat bottom—and not a toilet plunger—which has a smaller bottom protruding from the larger flat piece.
Shut-off valves, like any other piece of metal hardware, can corrode, age, get worn down, and eventually break or rust into place. Occasionally spray your shut-off valve with WD-40 to stall it from rusting. If it really gets stuck, a wrench and WD-40 will usually do the trick, but you will need to call a plumber if it’s completely unmovable.
Call a dedicated well and pump professional to install your new well pump. In some cases, plumbers may have the experience needed for the installation, but it’s always better to go with a specialized pro. Well and pump contractors have hundreds of hours of experience with all different types of wells and pumps.
In most cases, yes, homeowners insurance will cover burst pipes, even if they run through your foundation. Not only that, but most home insurance companies will also cover any foundation repair you need done that resulted from the plumbing leak because your insurer will view the leak as an unforeseen and non-preventable issue.
