He quickly identified the source of the leak, preventing further damage, and provided an economical solution that didn’t compromise quality. Jay took the time to clearly explain the issue and walked me through the options, ensuring I felt informed and confident in the repair process. His courteous demeanor and efficiency made the entire experience stress-free. If you need reliable and affordable plumbing services, I highly recommend Rooter Pro Plumbing GA—ask for Jay!"
"When I requested an estimate, Joe called me back on Sunday and personally came out on Tuesday. Communication and Customer Service was excellent. Zack and JJ arrived on time assessed the job and started demoing. Had a few issues, due to the fact the building is over 50 years old and not level, but they got the job done. Worked hard, cleaned up and were excellent. I would recommend 50 Plumbers to everyone. ."
"The Insallers Xavier and Joseph make a wonderful team. They were so polite and pleasant to work with. I'm getting a second bathtub replaced next Fri and have requested Xavier and Joseph for my 2nd Install. They were very careful and precise with their work. My 1963 year old bathroom looks amazing because of them. I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend Jacuzzi Bathroom Remodeling Company. They really care about Customer Service."
"My husband and I have used Moncrief for nearly 30 years -- ever since we bought this house. The prior owner used Moncrief and recommended them. Over the years we have had this company perform all service/maintenance work on our HVAC system. They are not cheap, but they do good work and are very trustworthy. "
"Everything went well from first meeting to end of project, was professionally done and completed on time, as promised. After reaching out to other contractors, Limitless Renovations gave us the most affordable estimate and also discussed other cost-saving measures that we were very grateful for. Doug, our installer, did an awesome job and he kept our home clean throughout the project. Thank you Limitless Renovations!!!"
"Very happy with our remodeled bathroom!! The shower is exactly what we wanted! Very reliable! I would recommend Premier Home Pros to anyone looking to redo their bathroom!"
"I highly recommend this company for their overall ability to transform a small dull bathroom into a showpiece! They gave me a start date and estimated completion date in which both were right on target. From their design ideas to their quality workmanship, I am totally satisfied. No subcontractors were needed at all, even doing their own tile work and suggesting a herringbone pattern which instantly created a sense of space and graceful movement to my small bathroom. I would not hesitate to hire this company again and you will not be disappointed at all if you select them as well."
"Estes Services was very professional in their customer service, They installed my HVAC system in one day. I have used them in past for all my HVAC and plumbing need. They are good but not cheap. If you want reliable service they have a history of being the best."
Affordable Plumbers 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.
When it comes to PEX versus copper, you'll find that many plumbers prefer PEX, which doesn’t corrode or allow for sediument buildup and is less likely to burst under freezing conditions. PEX is also flexible, so your pro won’t need to install joints to create certain angles. Provided it’s up to local codes, your plumber can also snake PEX through smaller holes in the wall without making additional cuts.
The cost depends on the parts, labor, extent of damage, and whether extensive plumbing modifications are required. Typical repairs cost $150-$300.
Vinegar could damage drain pipes in theory since it’s corrosive in large quantities. However, you would have to pour a whole lot of vinegar down the drain at regular intervals to cause any issues. Adding a bit every now and then to clear out clogs is fine.
Yes, shower water goes into the septic tank. Shower water is a type of greywater, and in fact, all water used in a home with a septic system—including water from sinks, toilets, the dishwasher, and the washing machine—drains into the tank. When shower water enters the tank, debris like soap and hair travels with it. The solid debris sinks to the bottom to become sludge, while soap residue joins the scum layer at the top. The remaining water is treated in the tank before moving to the drain field for further treatment and dispersal. It is important to avoid putting oil or harsh chemicals down any drain, as they can cause clogs or disrupt the beneficial bacteria required for proper wastewater management in the septic system.
