"I’ve had plenty of experience with contractors, and much of that experience was less than satisfactory. It was an absolute pleasure to have Frank from Manasota plumbing handle our project. Manasota will be my only plumber going forward. And will be my first choice referral to anyone!"

"Very smooth process the company responded quickly and did camera inspection and showed me all the footage so I could understand what was going on with my drainage system and the condition of my drains and they gave me a great deal on the toilet install as well as a package deal. Thank you!"

"Cory Mauch was timely, very pleasant and his solution was the easiest and least costly. I was dependent on his advice and he did exactly as I would have if I was a plumber. I would hire this company again in a minute if I had a plumbing issue........although I do hope that is never the case."

"Todd Steiner of VT Plumbing quickly provided an estimate. I hired him, next day he completed installation of my garbage disposal. He worked fast and efficient. The garbage disposal works great. He thoroughly cleaned and vacuumed the area, a professional touch. I will hire him again, and highly recommend both Todd Steiner and VT Plumbing."

"This company was awesome. They listen to what we said about the clogged pipe, came out the next day (called them after 5:00 pm), service was excellent, and the price was VERY reasonable. We already had a quote from another company, and they were twice the price, I would highly recommend Kelly's Plumbing to everybody. Thank you!!!!"

Ron was the technician they sent, he was excellent, very professional, explained what and why he was doing the testing he was doing, leak was found. Est for repairs seemed reasonable. We will definitely be using this company in the future and for the repairs now"

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Usually it’s fine to leave a toilet clogged overnight, as long as it’s not close to overflowing. In some cases, the extra time may give the clog time to work itself out. For example, if it’s caused by an excess of toilet paper, letting it sit could result in the clog dissolving and you may be able to simply flush it away by the time you wake up. 

Only let it sit though if you have more than one toilet in the home.

The average lifespan of plumbing ranges from 20 to 100 years, primarily determined by the pipe material. For example, PEX piping can last 80 to 100 years, while copper and cast iron pipes have a lifespan of 50 to 100 years. Other materials like CPVC, brass, and steel typically last between 50 and 70 years, and galvanized steel pipes have a shorter lifespan of up to 50 years. The longevity of any pipe material is also affected by factors like soil acidity, extreme temperatures, and proper maintenance, which is crucial for ensuring a long service life.

Water main breaks are relatively common, particularly in areas with older infrastructure. The frequency of breaks depends on factors such as the age, material, and size of the water main pipes, weather conditions, and the overall maintenance of the water system. Older cities with outdated pipes are more prone to frequent breaks, while newer communities struggle less with this particular issue.

According to the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), the distance between your trap and the vent should be no more than 6 feet. For your vent to work properly, it needs to feed into the drain line within 6 feet of trapways that connect to it. Using this formula, you should be able to determine whether you will need multiple vent lines.

You will need a plumber to install a kitchen faucet if your installation requires modifications to your plumbing system. However, if none of these modifications are needed, a faucet installation pro can do the job. In a pinch, you can also outsource the project to a handyperson or simply go the DIY route.
