"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."
To test for toilet leaks, use water coloring in the water tank and see if the water slips into the bowl from the tank. This test will indicate if there’s a problem with the flapper or refill tube. You can also put water coloring in the bowl of the toilet to see if there is a leak there. If there is, you should see the colored water on the outside of the toilet bowl or on the floor.
Adding a half bathroom can be worth it for two reasons: you want to increase the livability of your home and increase its value. While a value increase is more likely for a smaller home than a larger one, smaller houses with a large number of occupants can see a drastic increase in the ease and flow of daily life with the addition of a half bathroom.
The amount of water wasted when a toilet ghost flushes depends on the cause of the ghost flushing. Leaky flapper valves tend to waste less water than a larger problem like a damaged flush valve that makes the toilet run constantly. Even if you don’t think you’re wasting a lot of water, it’s still a problem that should be fixed quickly.
Yes, you’ll need to replace your toilet’s wax seal any time you move the toilet. This is because movement of the toilet will break the seal, rendering the remaining wax useless. Thankfully, replacing a wax seal is fairly easy, and the seal itself only costs $2 to $10 at most home improvement stores.
When replacing a wax seal you typically also have to replace the closet bolts that secure the toilet to the flange. These are usually about 2.5" - 3" long and have to be cut once the toilet is secure. Cutting them usually makes them too short to reuse.
You can tell if your toilet fill valve is full by removing the lid and taking a look. When you flush the toilet, the float is at the bottom of the tank, the water empties, and the fill valve opens. The float rises to the top as the tank fills again with water. When the float rises to the right level, the fill valve closes; if the valve is too high, your toilet may only partially flush, requiring you to adjust the float.
