"Owen plumbing restored my faith in companies that provide exceptional service and reliability. Bobby was highly professional, prompt, extremely efficient, persistent, and affordable. Worked in a torrential downpour and found an underground water leak near the slab on my house, and not only made the repairs but made several follow-up visits to ensure the leak was stopped. Additionally, he did not request and funds until I was satisfied with the repairs. I would encourage anyone in need of plumbing services to contact his company."
"We had previously hired someone to waterproof our basement but it severely failed. Once AFS came and accessed the crawl space, they implemented a new system. Our crawl space is amazing now and the team Quadarrius, Jovian, and Dallas were professional, informative, and proficient! Colt my representative walked me through everything before during and after! I love this company and recommend their services to anyonet!"
"Everything was done in a timely manner and the work area was cleaned up and not left in a huge mess. The experience of this company shows and I would hire again if I needed a plumber for the future."
"Excellent service for a virtual format. Would definitely recommend this very affordable alternative to the traditional technician having to come to your home to evaluate and fix a malfunctioning appliance."
"We discovered a leak in the yard after lunchtime on Tuesday. We checked Angie's list for a recommendation. Mr. Wright's company had good reviews so we decided to give him a try. He showed up about 30 minutes after we called him and began his work. He had to dig out the dirt to reach the pipes, make a trip to the store, and had the problem fixed shortly after. What a pleasure to find an honorable businessman!. We highly recommend him. You won't be disappointed. "
"Great job. Very fair price. Replaced siding and gutters on my 50 yer old house. Completed job in one day by bringing in a large crew. They are reliable, professional and wonderful to work with! I would highly recommend Revamp to anyone."
Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts
To drain a broken toilet, place towels or plastic sheeting around the base in case of splashing or overflowing. Next, shut off the toilet’s water supply, usually via a valve on the wall behind the toilet. Begin flushing the handle to remove as much water as possible from the tank and the bowl. Don’t flush the toilet if it’s clogged, though. From there, use a large sponge to soak up any remaining water and wring it over a bucket.
Shut-off valves, like any other piece of metal hardware, can corrode, age, get worn down, and eventually break or rust into place. Occasionally spray your shut-off valve with WD-40 to stall it from rusting. If it really gets stuck, a wrench and WD-40 will usually do the trick, but you will need to call a plumber if it’s completely unmovable.
Unfortunately, no, you cannot shower while your septic tank is being pumped. The water needs to be shut off while your septic tank is serviced, which includes showers, toilets, sinks, and dishwashers. Take a shower well before pumping is scheduled to begin. Once the pumping is complete, you can resume regular water use.
For homes with a septic tank, harsh chemicals like those found in drain cleaner or bleach aren’t recommended. Some chemical drain cleaners can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the septic tank or damage your pipes. For homes with a septic tank, you can choose drain cleaners specifically formulated for use with septic tanks or go with a drain snake. When in doubt, make sure you know who to call for a clogged drain.
No, vinegar won't hurt PVC pipes. While vinegar is acidic, it’s not caustic enough to damage PVC. Pouring baking soda and vinegar down your drains is a great DIY solution for clearing minor clogs. If the problem isn’t resolved with vinegar and baking soda, it’s likely time to call in a pro. Avoid using more caustic solutions like drain cleaners, as these will damage PVC pipes, especially if there’s a clog.
