"Stuart Ackley of Pipeline Plumbing LLC is a really good plumber. Anyone who may have had a hard time finding a good plumber will not be disappointed. Heâ s honest, conscientious, skilled, knowledgeable, and caring. He has an apprentice whom he is very patient in training; and has journeymen who are very skilled.. Heâ s detail-oriented. Heâ s reasonable in pricing. Heâ s hard-working. There are no negatives about him, except that heâ s so good at what he does, that he gets busy. But donâ t let that discourage you from contacting him because he finds a way to help you. Heâ s efficient and neat too (cleans up). Have gone through over a dozen plumbers who have lied, cheated, been sloppy, didnâ t care whether or not they solved the plumbing problemâ ¦. Stu is the only one that I have found to be upfront and knows what needs to be done to solve the issues AND does get everything done to (more than) my satisfaction. I truly appreciate him and his company for the great service that they have provided and definitely will want to use them for any plumbing needs that I have. Thank you very much for listing such professionals like him, AnGI."

"BJ has a reliable crew of specialists who completed the work. Leif handled the plumbing expertly and efficiently, replacing the angle stops and supply lines under both bathroom sinks and replacing supply lines and shutoff valves for the washer. Graham was equally proficient removing the old bathroom fans, revising the supporting structure, and installing the new fans. He also revised the wiring for the fans, installed new bathroom wall switches, fixed the outlet for the washer/dryer, and replaced a breaker switch in the master electrical box. BJ and Josh then took care of drywall repairs and mudding in the bathrooms. Overall, the various jobs were completed well and in a reasonable time frame."
While plumber’s tape is a great solution for many plumbing problems, there are some times when it’s not the right product for the job at hand.
You shouldn’t use plumber’s tape on pipe connections in any of the following scenarios:
When connecting PVC pipes
If the pipe has wide threads, as water can still leak through the space between the threads
If the pipe has very tight threads, as the tape would prevent a proper connection
If the pipe threads are damaged, which would prevent the tape from providing a watertight seal
If your predicament is similar to any of these, a licensed plumber can help you solve the problem.
Touchless faucets are reliable. However, proper maintenance is necessary to keep them running flawlessly. Keep the nozzle area and sensor clean to promote the best functionality. Additionally, consider where the touchless faucet you choose gets its power. Battery-operated models will need regular battery replacements to ensure reliability, and the touchless function won't work in a hardwired version during a power outage.
You can use normal solder, which consists of a tin and copper alloy, on copper pipes. You should avoid using leaded solder, especially if you're soldering together water supply lines, as it will contaminate drinking water. One way to test if your copper pipes contain lead is to scrape off the solder. If the scraped area is shiny, it likely contains lead.
It is generally safe to stay in a house that smells like sewage for a short time, but you should get the problem fixed as soon as possible. While the level of sewer gas is usually low enough to only cause minor symptoms, prolonged inhalation can lead to headaches, nausea, or respiratory irritation. High levels of gas exposure can be more dangerous, and high concentrations of methane—a component of sewer gas—can pose an explosion risk in enclosed spaces. If you smell sewer gas in your home, ventilate the area and call a professional to locate, assess, and fix the problem, as it will not go away on its own.
While frozen pipes will eventually thaw on their own as temperatures rise, it is not safe to let this happen unattended. As the ice blockage melts, water can become trapped, building up extreme pressure within the pipe. This pressure can cause the pipe to burst, leading to severe water damage, costly leaks, and serious damage to your plumbing system. It is best to handle frozen pipes as quickly as possible. If you do not see any visible damage, you can try to slowly warm the pipes by increasing warm air circulation or applying warm towels. However, if you spot any leaks or damage, you should call a plumber immediately. The best course of action is always to take preventative measures to stop pipes from freezing.
