"Olin Plumbing just finished replacing all of my old galvanized steel water pipes in my 1947 home. I could not be happier with the job they did! I would like to especially thank David for caring for my home like it was his own and doing such a great job on everything. I had numerous special requests, and I feel like he really went above and beyond. I have used Olin Plumbing several times over the years, and have always been happy with their price and service. So much so that I didn’t even get additional quotes for this job. Honestly, I hate writing reviews, but I am more than happy to write this review for such a great company!"

Plumbing Our business is our livelihood but it is also so much more. Believe plumbing inc was stared to fill in a void in the current market and to make a business that the people of tampa and surrounding areas can trust. Over the the years we have never lost our clients and this has allowed us to succeed in a very competitive industry. We stand committed to our purpose as we stand committed to the people of tampa and surrounding areas thanks.

"Believe Plumbing of 2312 W Kathleen St Tampa, FL 33607 had an advertised deal that I accepted on 10 April through my Angi account for a 799 Bradford White electric water heater install. I called Believe Plumbing the next working day, 11 April, at 0830 to confirm the price I got through Angi and I provided the redemption code ANGE-298C41DD2EE7). I asked if any extra fees or permits would be an additional cost and if I wanted to increase the size from 40 to 50 gallon what additional cost would apply. The business representative said the 799 dollar fee covered everything and that a 50 gallon unit would be the same 799 price. I also asked if they install the Bradford White brand but he was unsure, Bradford White brand is quoted in their offer deal I accepted. I asked to set up a service and install appointed ASAP as the current heater was leaking and nonfunctional. He confirmed my contact information and said service tech would call me. After 1pm I called back the representative was unsure of the appointment time but would check and call me back. After an hour with no call back I recalled and reached a different but nice lady would said she could not find any record of the service in the schedule and worked to fit me in the next day, 12 April, after 1 pm. I asked the service tech to call me once arrived to confirm if a 50 gallon unit would fit and to authorize the replacement as the property was currently rented. When I did not get a phone call in the afternoon of 12 April I again called Believe Plumbings office and asked about the status, I was told the service tech had already look at the unit and was at the supply warehouse picking up the heater. When I reminded them they needed to call for my authorization and discuss the 40 or 50 gallon size the representative said, “oh yea he should have called you.” I then asked to confirm the brand and was told it was “Estate” and not Bradford White. Sensing something didnt feel right and needing to ensure the repair was done as instructed I asked to speak with the owner about by difficulties. When the owner spoke with me he obviously was not told anything about my concerns and just asked, you want the install? I asked about the brand not being Bradford White as advertised and also total price, again sensing I was not getting the full truth. He said it is 1200 dollars either 40 or 50 gallon and the brand is “Estate” and not Bradford White, a better brand. When I told him I confirm within his office the Angi price Monday morning of 799 he said that is not valid and Angi should not have that price active. He offered no reply why his staff would not tell me the correct price until I was able to talk with him and would not even consider any consideration for a price reduction due to the circumstances, even though he still lists a 5 percent discount on the Angi site, nor did he offer a military discount (which he offers on his claimed Yelp business page). He did say that they would install a water heater for 450 if I wanted to buy one locally like Home Depot or Lowes, but they will cost you 800 to 900 so 1200 is a good price. Actually an AO Smith brand 50 gallon equivalent water heater from Lowes cost under 600, after military 10 percent discount. AO Smith makes to lower end “Estate” brand heaters as well. Home Depot has Rheem 50 gallon for under 475 after military discount, all offer same 6 year warranty same as Estate. Faced with need to complete the job that had already been delayed I told him the use the 50 gallon heater but that the bait and switch pricing was not acceptable. I was invoiced for 1200 with extra 3.92 percent charge if I want to use a credit card, something never disclosed as payments options state “Visa, Discover, Check” Based on my experience it is hard the believe what Believe Plumbing tells you - even after giving the owner an opportunity to address the issue and make things right."

Drain Pipe Installation questions, answered by experts

While PEX can't melt, high temperatures can alter its performance. The maximum heat that PEX can safely be exposed to is 180 degrees Fahrenheit. When PEX is exposed to high temperatures for extended periods of time, it may fail. While copper can withstand hot temperatures better than PEX, copper pipes freeze more easily compared to PEX.

There are several signs that can indicate you have air in your pipes, including unusual noises coming from the pipes, like banging and whistling, and inconsistent water flow and pressure. Spitting from the faucet right when you turn the water on is another indication that you might have air in the pipes.

Bleach is generally not recommended for your shower drains. Although diluted bleach can technically help clean your drain, it will not unclog your pipes. In fact, bleach can harm your plumbing system because it’s so powerful. The bleach can change the color of your sink and even corrode metal pipes and fittings.

Often, people reach for bleach because it's already in their house. But it's worth getting a plunger or a drain snake for the job instead. It'll be a lot less money to buy a new plunger than to pay a plumber to repair or replace damaged pipes.

You can prevent pipes from bursting by taking several preventive measures. For example:

  • Keep your pipes from freezing when temperatures drop by setting your thermostat to 55 degrees or higher.

  • Open under-sink cabinets to allow warm air to flow around the pipes. 

  • Let faucets drip to keep water moving.

  • Add insulation to crawl spaces or pipes to keep them warm.

Ensure there’s a way to flush out excess water from the generator. There will either be a bin you can pull to dump water down the drain or a simple button if your generator is hooked up to a drainage pipe. 

 Ideally, you’ll want to drain after every shower, but there will be a mark on the generator that shows how much water it can hold. Failing to drain the generator can lead to automatic shut-offs or damage.
