"Blake from Spence Plumbing was great. I had a leak coming from my toilet so I gave them a call. He was at another job site but came to my house immediately after. He fixed the issue quickly and was extremely reasonable with price. I trusted Blake completely, which is something I can’t say for other companies! Will definitely use them again if something comes up!"
"“A”. Very professional, great manners, he explained the system and came up with a less expensive system in what I was being told I had to have. I like to support businesses in the area I live in. His visit I have given the referral to two other people. Great guy."
This is the second time we needed Advanced Plumbing Services to help us.
This time we had a drain blockage on the second floor bathroom that resulted in the toilet drain blocking, and the shower water to essentially flood out from under the toilet.
John came immediately to address the problem, cleaned the blockage, and got the drains flowing again.
We initiated a service request and Jason responded immediately. He put us on his schedule for 7/15/14, arrived at the appointed time and repaired our leaky shower faucet in the bedroom and installed new toilet handles in two bathrooms. He was professional, informative, and polite. He lets you know the depth of the problem and materials required for repairs. His work is EXCELLENT! We will definitely use Jason Faircloth for future projects.
"This company was really great and reliable in coming out on a Sunday morning to fix a toilet water leak ... I was really grateful for there prompt service."
"Perfect - called me beforehand to get a complete understanding of what we needed done. He arrived exactly on time and had the exact materials to complete our service request. Very professional and efficient he completed the job in an hour - and we are now using our new dishwasher and ice machine. We tried three other plumber services before we were lucky enough to have Tanners Service Plumbing take care of everything we needed done. He will be our first choice if we have further plumbing needs. Excellent service and value!"
"Excellent. Justin was very thorough and professional. Fixed the clog and promised if there were any other issues he would be happy to come back if needed, no charge."
Yes, a toilet, sink, and shower can share the same vent. This is a common installation method that can simplify plumbing and save space. However, there are important considerations. The vent and associated plumbing must be large enough to handle the demands of all fixtures without compromising the vent's effectiveness. Additionally, the toilet should always be located downstream of all other fixtures. Because requirements can vary and space might be limited, it is essential to check your local building and plumbing codes and consult with a qualified plumber to ensure the installation is done correctly.
Toilet augers are hand-held drain snakes. Most of them come with 3 to 6 feet of cleaning cable and a curved, plastic elbow sleeve to protect your toilet bowl. If your clog does not go beyond the toilet’s wax seal, a 3-foot auger would be sufficient. Otherwise, you may need a 6-foot auger to unclog the drain.
Your toilet handle might not come back up if the nut is loose or the bolt threads are stripped. Try to tighten the mounting nut and wrap plumber’s tape around the handle bolt to fix stripped threads. It’s possible the handle was improperly installed. If that’s the case, you can use the instructions above to correct the handle’s position.
If you notice water leaking down the side of the bowl or tank and you don’t notice any cracks in the porcelain, the odds are that it’s condensation. If you notice water around the base of the toilet, this points to a leak. Check for loose bolts. A sewage odor may also indicate a broken toilet flange.
Hiring an emergency plumber is expensive because of the urgency and inconvenience, but there are a few things you can do to help keep costs down:
Minimize water damage by shutting off your water main
Clean up pooling water immediately to reduce damage and mold growth
Avoid using fixtures if you have a clog or septic system backup
Verify that your plumber is licensed before hiring
Call a few plumbers for estimates if you can afford a short delay in getting service
