"The crew of three men arrived as promised. They were polite and professional throughout the entire process. They kept me informed of what they were doing and asked my preference several times along the way. They covered our furniture and floors and were very conscientious about protecting our belongings. The company owner stopped by to check on the job both days of work. The actual work was jack hammering 8 inches of basement floor for 36 feet at the foot of the wet wall. They carried out all the debris and carried in clean gravel to lay in the trench along with a pvc pipe with holes in it for drainage. Then they covered the pipe with more clean gravel. They installed a drain in the system in the event of major water (we don't have this problem but it's great to have should a water pipe break or something in the future) and installed a pump to move the water out of the basement. They installed a drain into which we can directly drain our dehumidifier and installed another drain access along the wall if we would ever want to move the dehumidifier or install another one. They also installed a drain against the wet wall that would drain into the drain and pump system. Then they cemented over the trench so all that is visible is a fraction of an inch of drain against the wall and you wouldn't even know it was there unless you stood very close to the wall and looked down. The place was a mess throughout the process -- it's just a dirty, messy job. But the crew cleaned up after themselves and, aside from the inevitable light coat of dust on most surfaces, they left our place as they found it originally. I couldn't ask for more of them. The only item left is for the electrician to install a GFCI box for the pump and dehumidifier. AAA does not do electrical work but they contacted one for me and we are making those arrangements now. Overall, this was a great job and I couldn't be more pleased. I'm very glad we went with Jeff and Donna and their crew for this project. "
"What an Amazing Company!! I had a Major Plumbing Issue after my son knocked the top off the toilet and busted the pipe that connects the water in to the wall. I got on Angie List and found Free Emergency Plumber.Com and within a half hour they were at my house. Not only did they fix the leak and the pipe for FREE, but the technician was also able to assist me in getting my house dried out (slightly flooded three or four rooms)! The guys at Free Emergency Plumber.Com even helped when dealing with my insurance company. Start to finish they handled just about everything for me, all I had to do was sit back and let them work. Amazing company, Amazing people, I highly recommend Free Emergency Plumber.Com."

While any bathroom remodel has a positive return on investment, an en suite bathroom can significantly increase a home’s resale value. It makes a property more enticing to buyers with families, particularly those with young children. However, keep in mind that at least one of the bathrooms should have a tub.
If you’ve accessed the bolts and nuts that hold your toilet seat in place and can’t unscrew them, it’s possible that they were overtightened or that the material corroded over time, making it impossible to unscrew. If that’s the case, you can either call in a plumber for help, or you can DIY a solution if you’re careful. Lay down masking tape around the mounting bracket and then use the tape as a surface to lay a hack saw blade. Move slowly to cut through the bracket and bolt, being careful not to damage the porcelain in the process.
If you decide to replace the toilet flapper yourself, the only cost will be buying the new flapper for around $5 to $17. You can also hire a plumber or handyperson to take on the job instead, in which case you’ll pay an hourly rate for labor plus the cost of parts. Handypersons charge $50 to $150 per hour, while plumbers cost $45 to $200 per hour. This repair might take less than an hour for your pro, but note that many providers have a minimum rate for a house call.
Toilet handles can get stuck for a couple of reasons, but it’s commonly an issue with the chain. Remove the lid and check the chain’s connection, running from the flapper to the handle arm. Sometimes the chain gets snagged on or against another part of the tank.
The chain might not have the right tension. For example, a chain that’s too short can make the handle feel stuck. Check that there’s some slack in the chain. Old, worn-out flappers can get stuck, too. In this case, you’ll need to see which size toilet flapper you need.
The water in your toilet tank refills after each flush. So if you see dirty water in the bowl, you should check the tank to see if it’s coming from there. A dirty toilet tank can be the result of sediment in the water itself—-after all, the water will sit in the tank between flushes and can cause the interior to change into a dingy color. Faulty toilet components, like an old flapper, corroded tank lever or chain, or damaged seals, can also lead to dirty water as the materials break down inside the tank. You can clean the toilet tank or change out the old parts to give it a fresh start.
