"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. "
"I hired Revamp to replace most of my gutters on my 22 year-old house. They were incredibly responsive and had the work done in almost no time at all! I highly recommend them."
Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts
Biodegradable drain cleaners use naturally derived ingredients, such as baking soda, vinegar, and boiling water, which bacteria and other microbes can break down. Unlike conventional cleaners that rely on corrosive bleach (sodium hydroxide), biodegradable options are gentler on fixtures and less harmful to the environment. Because they don't release harmful gasses, they are also safer to use, especially in households with children, and do not require the same safety precautions as bleach-based products.
Yes, you can fix pipe threads. In fact, the process is the same as cutting new ones. You’ll need to use a pipe threader tool with the proper size die head for the pipe. Turning the threader over the damaged threads will clean up any damaged or worn-out threads in the pipe. If the pipe threads are too damaged, this process may not work, and you’ll need to replace the pipe.
Yes, hiring a drain cleaner is worth it, especially when compared to the cost of not being able to use a sink, shower, toilet, or bathtub and the potential damage that flooding can cause in your home. You might try a temporary drain cleaning liquid or snaking it yourself, but if the clog is out of reach or these methods do not work, then hiring a professional drain cleaner is the way to go.
Yes, it’s necessary to have a sink drain stopper. While your sink will still work without a stopper, a stopper is necessary to keep things other than water from going down into your pipes and potentially clogging them. It prevents plumbing problems by keeping out unwanted debris and objects like hair, soap, toothpaste, dirt, and jewelry.
Yes, you can water plants with water softened with potassium chloride. Potassium is a vital nutrient for plants, so using this type of water is harmless and can even be enriching. It is often a better option than water softened with sodium chloride, as too much sodium can build up in the soil and make it difficult for plants to absorb the water they need. If you notice that your plants are not tolerating the treated water, try letting it sit in a watering can for one to five days to allow the chlorine to diminish.
