"Office staff kept me informed regarding appointment time. Plumbers were very informative on how the tankless hot water works and installation details. While plumbers were here they inspected a sewer pit that Seaside installed 8 years ago when I hooked up to public sewer."

"A two-day project to convert tub to walk-in shower went smoothly. Jake, Josh and Brian were thorough in their site preparation and detail-oriented in the installation. It was a beautiful job and we appreciated the personal approach of the company: we didn't feel like ours was just one of an assembly-line make-overs."

"Tony was wonderful. I contracted with him in to finish a bathroom. The prior contractor made many majoristakrs with the drainage. Tony had to fix several major plumbing mistakes. He was up front, clear on the issues and what had to be done to correct the problems. Wonderful work and I will be contracting with him in the future."

"The workmen performed their work efficiently, professionally and with the utmost skill.  While installing a sliding glass door, an area was found that need to be corrected.  In my opinion they performed above and beyond to make sure our new sliding glass door would work properly, and not leak.  We also had our porch re-screened along with a new porch door.  I love the look of the porch.  A new folding attic 
staircase was also installed, and my husband is very satisfied."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

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.

The time it takes to fix a leaking pipe is determined by the location of the leak, the extent of the damage, and the experience level of the person completing this task. Leaks from exposed pipes should only take an hour or so, but that can increase to several hours if a significant section of pipe needs to be replaced. Pipes in walls or ceilings will take two to six hours, while complex underground pipe repairs can take multiple days.

Copper pipes are the safest type of pipe for carrying drinking water because they won't leach chemicals into your drinking water. However, for the best water quality, you should use copper pipes with lead-free joint material. The next best options for carrying drinking water are CPVC and PEX pipes.

If you use copper pipes for drinking water, you should check your water’s pH level. If it has a pH value lower than seven, you'll need to balance your water acidity with a purifier to avoid corrosion that could affect your drinking water quality. 

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.

Knowing the signs can alert you to a clogged drain line. Clogs cause slow drainage or cause no drainage (if there’s a complete blockage). You may also notice foul odors, gurgling noises, water backing up in other appliances on the same line, or a poorly flushing toilet. If you experience any of these issues and think your line might be clogged, call a plumber.
