Q: Why is my sink leaking underneath after the water is turned off?

• <div><p>Deteriorated seals, O-rings, or gaskets are common culprits behind a leaky sink after you&rsquo;ve turned off the water&mdash;especially if your sink is older than 15 years. Inspect each of these mechanisms in your sink for signs of corrosion or looseness, then replace the worn-out part to fix it. Older sinks may be worth replacing if several of the parts are worn-out. </p></div>

Q: How do you prevent plumbing vents from freezing?

• <div><p>To keep your plumbing vents from freezing, start by <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-materials-are-best-pipe-insulation.htm">insulating your pipes</a> with foam or fiberglass sleeves to help maintain their temperature. For an extra layer of security, use heat tape, which acts as a personal heater to keep your pipes warm even when temperatures drop. Additionally, you should regularly check your vent cap to make sure it&rsquo;s free from leaves and debris that can block the airflow. A clean, unobstructed vent cap is crucial for maintaining proper ventilation that will keep your plumbing vents from freezing and the plumbing system running smoothly.</p><p></p></div>

Q: What do local plumbers charge per hour?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/plumber-cost.htm">cost of hiring a plumber</a> is about <b>$125 per hour</b>, but rates can vary between <b>$45 and $200</b> in most cases. In general, the more experience and training the plumber has, the higher the cost. Some plumbers also charge on a per-project basis rather than by the hour. Below are some typical costs for common plumbing jobs:</p><ul><li><p>Drain unclogging: $220</p></li><li><p>Leaky faucet: $270</p></li><li><p>Burst pipe repair: $400</p></li><li><p>Toilet repair: $300</p></li><li><p>Water heater repair: $600</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How can I cut down my water bill?

• <div><p>A single shower consumes an average of over 17 gallons, while brushing your teeth with the water running uses up to four unnecessary gallons. Watering the lawn spreads hundreds of gallons of water across the yard each time. Limiting water usage in these areas can significantly cut down your water bill. </p></div>

Q: Do plumbers need to be certified?

• <div><p>Some states mandate that anyone doing plumbing work hold a plumber&rsquo;s license, and some municipalities in other states require licensing, so it depends on where you live. However, hiring a certified plumber is usually best, even if it's a higher hourly cost and the license isn&rsquo;t a state requirement. Certified plumbers are more likely to have the experience necessary to get your repair done properly, meaning a lower risk of issues occurring afterward. You also have some recourse if a certified plumber makes a mistake, as you can report them to the certifying authority.</p></div>

It went really well. Iowa Mold gave me a fair estimate based on my research. Iowa Mold was available immediately for service. They were prompt for the estimate meeting and the remediation services. Excellent clean-up.

A prior plumbing company could not snake the drain and suggested the trap was collapsed. This company was prepared to look at the pipes with a camera, and snakes to drain first. It ran fine after that — no replacement needed! Very polite and clean.

The service was fast and efficient while also being over $200 cheaper than the competition. I recommend Mr. Electric to avoid being scalped. Installed two GFCI outlets after a diagnostic and fixed two open splices in the attic.
