"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."
"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."
"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!"
"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. "
Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts
The water pipe from your washing machine is one of the many components that can freeze during winter conditions, causing pipes to burst. Frozen water pipes in your washing machine can result in damage to your machine, plus other unfortunate results like flooding and water damage.
PEX is approved for use with main water lines due to its stability and resistance to high water pressure. If you live in a cold climate and are wondering how to unfreeze pipes, it's helpful to know that PEX is less likely to burst in freezing temperatures. You can also insulate your pipes to prevent freezing and protect your PEX piping.
If your shower is leaking when it’s off, it may not be an immediate cause for concern. After a shower, some water is left in the showerhead and will drip out after you turn the shower off. Other reasons include potential pressure or condensation in the pipes or thermal contraction when the pipes cool down after a hot shower. However, if the showerhead leaks continuously, call a pro to take a look.
If the outside temperature drops below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, it will take around six hours for your pipes to freeze—and they might even burst. That’s why keeping your mobile home’s temperature around 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit is necessary, even if you’re leaving it vacant for the winter. In addition, having ample skirting around the mobile home's underbelly will help keep pipes insulated during the winter.
You might need a permit to modify or repair any portion of your plumbing system, including drainage lines, depending on where you live. In some areas, simple replacements of existing drain lines don’t require a permit. We recommend asking your drain pipe installer or your local building department about permitting requirements. In many cases, only certified plumbers can pull plumbing permits, so you’ll usually need to leave the permit application to your professional. The fee for the permit will be passed to you on your project bill, though.
