"Adam the Plumber was competent, friendly, knowlegeable and efficient. Next Plumbing was very fast at responding to my inquiry and replacing my water heater IN ONE DAY. When the new water heater blew a fuse over night, Adam the Plumber came out the very next day (even if it did it cost me an extra $100, which I could debate if I wanted to). The cost of a plumber is notoriously expensive, but I commend Adam and Next Plumbing for sticking exactly to the estimate (less the $100 he next day). We are new to the area, now we have a go-to plumber if and when we need one. Responsive, honest, competent."

"Guest bathroom remodel: installation of new bathtub, new plumbing fixtures, and new porcelain tile on sides and back wall. Everything went extremely well from beginning to end. Owner, son, and plumber were professional, and always on time. My quote was reasonable and there were no hidden costs. I would highly recommended this company to anyone considering a remodel."

"Dominick arrived earlier than promised and immediately saw the problem. I was feeling pretty foolish for not thinking to prime
the pump. (I guess I believed when the pump was said to be self-priming). It never occurred to me. (Senior moment). He added water to the bowl and everything worked perfectly. Thank you. He gave me a break in the quoted price and I appreciated it very much.
American Leak Detection was recommended to me by another Angie's List provider and a check with Angie's List ratings confirmed to me that this was a good choice of provider.

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

No. You should never directly drain a water softener into a sewer cleanout. This practice is illegal in many areas because it could allow raw sewage to get into your drinking water and make you seriously ill. Many places have codes requiring a specific seal, pipe, and a large air gap between a water softener and a sewage cleanout. Check out Florida's Plumbing Building Code as an example of what these restrictions might look like.

There are three main types of shower valves: pressure-balancing, thermostatic, and diverter. Pressure-balancing and thermostatic valves are both considered mixing valves because they regulate water flow and temperature, but they do so in different ways. A pressure-balancing valve senses changes in water pressure, such as from a flushing toilet, and adjusts the incoming hot and cold water to maintain a consistent temperature; these typically use a single knob. A thermostatic valve uses a thermostat to precisely control the water temperature and requires a separate control to adjust the water volume. A diverter valve directs the flow of water from one fixture to another, such as switching from a tub faucet to a showerhead in a tub-shower combination.

While there is no specific “best” method to clear hair out of a drain, several options work well. Using a combination of baking soda and vinegar to dissolve the hair clog is a great and easy way to help clear the drain. Drain snakes are also effective for more severe clog buildups. 

Tipping is not required when hiring plumbing professionals. The rate provided in your plumbing quote is intended to cover all of the labor required to get the job done. However, you may consider tipping any extra hands hired to help with cleanup, haul away old fixtures, or repair drywall that was affected by the project.

Walk-in tubs have multiple sealing mechanisms to prevent leaks. However, like any bathroom fixture, they can develop leaks over time due to wear, poor installation, or structural issues. Choosing a tub from a reputable manufacturer and ensuring proper installation by experienced professionals can minimize the likelihood of leaks. Additionally, regular inspections and addressing any problems promptly can help maintain the integrity of the walk-in tub and prevent potential problems.
