"We have an older home with older ductwork. We had Spencer and Brayton out and they cleaned and sealed our ductwork. They did a great job. Professional, great communication, attention to detail. They reduced our air leakage by 86%. We noticed an immediate difference in improved airflow, our cold spots are no longer cold spots. Thanks!"

"Jason did an amazing job on our new shower, tile, toilet and vanity. He was very polite and we couldn’t be happier with the skills he has. 10/10 he’s the guy to hire for your bathroom jobs. So affordable and was willing to work with our color schemes and schedules."

"We got the estimate and a proposed date to start. Due to other jobs they had to delay us a few days but called us often to let us know how it looked for our job. These are a great group of guys, from the estimator to the workers. Polite, on time, hard working, cleaned up after themselves. Why would you go anywhere else. Thanks Guys. Now I can't wait for it to rain."

"Plumber looked at it from above and wrote up an”upfront quote” of $540 to replace a $20 drain. Hired a different plumber that was by no means fast and paid half of that."

Toilets questions, answered by experts

The toilet should rest 10, 12, or 14 inches from the back wall. As for other clearances, 15 inches is the minimum distance from the flange to any side wall or nearby fixture, including the shower, tub, and sink. Modern codes also require at least 24 inches of clear space in front of the toilet.

Costs depend on door material, labor, additional hardware, and whether structural modifications are needed.

Usually it’s fine to leave a toilet clogged overnight, as long as it’s not close to overflowing. In some cases, the extra time may give the clog time to work itself out. For example, if it’s caused by an excess of toilet paper, letting it sit could result in the clog dissolving and you may be able to simply flush it away by the time you wake up. 

Only let it sit though if you have more than one toilet in the home.

Yes, and no. Your shower, toilet, and sink all connect to the same main drain, but the secondary drains going from each fixture to the main drain are usually separate. This isn’t always the case—especially in older homes—but since toilets contain black water and showers, tubs, and sinks have grey water, toilets are more regulated and come at a greater risk of contamination. It’s best to keep these drains separate using individual waste collection for this reason.

While a toilet dripping on the outside can be caused by condensation, a toilet that is constantly dripping on the inside is usually caused by a deteriorated flapper. This is one of the most common types of toilet leaks. As the flapper degrades, it won’t seal properly, and water will constantly leak into the toilet.
