"Paul squeezed me in the same day as I called him. He fixed a broken toilet and we are having him come back for additional plumbing work. He is easy to get a hold of and communicate with. He explains everything and his costs are great. We will continue to use him in the future!"

"Todd got back to me very quickly on my request for quotes. He happened to have some open time that very afternoon and he gave me a general quote range based on a few "what if's" as I had a multi-job issue with my plumbing needs. I think the total job was a bit more inclusive than Todd might have anticipated but he got right in there and completed the job quickly (especially considering some of the twists we encountered). Todd is a very experienced plumber who worked ho*** ** my job and he is also very cordial and easy to communicate with. I feel great about the job he did and his parting comments..."if anything doesn't seem to be working appropriately, give me a call." I highly recommend Todd's Plumbing."

"Very professional tub to shower conversion. Existing drain was updated to meet code and existing plumbing lines and new shut-off valves were relocated. Great start to our bathroom remodel project."

"My experience with Roto Rooter was first rate. I posted my problem on HomeAdvisor and they contacted me promptly and gave me a couple options - repair or replacement of my water heater. I chose to replace it and Jim was able to locate a good replacement for me and get me scheduled the next day. The Plumbers arrived promptly and had my water heater replaced in about an hour. Even cleaned up well. Thanks Roto-Rooter."

"We are pleased with our bath remodel that included a new tub, tub surround and wainscot walls. There was one small problem with the walls due to the ceiling and walls not being plumb however they did go above and beyond by doing more than was was agreed upon by making plumbing improvements, installing a new lighted medicine cabinet and repairing a light fixture. They were very courteous and the installer even made a suggestion for a change that we agreed would be better."

Customers say: True professional

"First of all, Andy and his father are super friendly, and I chose them primarily because I sensed they would be great to work with. Right from the start he was willing to negotiate his quote with me and refine his scope a bit so we both were satisfied. He was not the cheapest guy, but his price was competitive.  My biggest concern with any contractor is obviously quality of work---no problem here. My next biggest concern is a contractor's propensity to find ways to add cost to a project.  Andy did not do that.  We agreed to a price and he stuck with it.  He did not nickel-and-dime me to death.  I did ask him once to increase his price for some additional services, which he was willing to do for a very reasonable $350 (I think he might have had some regrets with this amount after realizing how much effort it took, but he did not ask me for any more money!).  Andy and his father do high-quality work.  I remember telling him that I want both him and me to be proud of what they accomplished, and that is exactly what he delivered. One thing I must emphasize is Andy's willingness to work within my schedule (not only because I, too, work for a living, but because I did some work myself and hired an electrician myself to do an extensive amount of electrical work.) All this hassle with scheduling, waiting, whatever, can be point of contention with some contractors, but not Andy! He understands the homeowner's circumstances and we just worked things out over the phone or email.  Also, you can trust Andy in your home.  I gave him full access, since I was rarely present when they did their work.  He always left the place nice, locked up, and secure.  Another key point:  Andy hired an excellent cabinet installer---beautiful work---precise, neat, and sound.  The plumber he hired is the nicest plumber I have ever met, and he did such a fine professional job.  Thank you!  Thank you! Thank you for hiring professional subcontractors that also care about their customers and the quality of their work.  Thank you to Scott's Home Renewal for performing so well and providing such fine results!  I highly recommend Andy and will most likely ask him to help me out on my next major renovation project that comes along.

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Your home's soil composition and the deep frost depth in Johnston make underground plumbing projects complex. Clay-heavy soil expands and contracts, which shifts pipes. Additionally, older properties feature galvanized steel lines that require special handling. Modifying basement plumbing requires working around existing sump pits and drain tile systems to prevent drainage conflicts. Always consult a licensed contractor to navigate these local challenges and secure the required municipal permits.

Helpful?

Address any signs of pipe sweating or minor leaks in uninsulated spaces immediately before temperatures drop in November. You must also resolve failing water heaters and sump pumps before Johnston experiences harsh winter freezes or heavy spring snowmelt. Conversely, you can schedule interior fixture upgrades or basement rough-ins during off-peak seasons. Always schedule exterior plumbing work between late spring and early fall to avoid digging through deeply frozen ground.

Helpful?

Cross-linked polyethylene is the premier choice for interior supply lines because it expands under freezing conditions without cracking during severe IA winters. For underground drains and sewer lines, use heavy-duty polyvinyl chloride to meet state code requirements. When replacing water service lines from the municipal main, select durable copper. Always install properly insulated water heater connections to maintain efficiency against cold incoming groundwater. A local professional will ensure full code compliance.

Helpful?

Completing plumbing projects significantly improves your daily comfort and protects your home from severe IA winters. Insulating pipes in unconditioned spaces prevents burst lines during freezing temperatures. Upgrading your water heater ensures consistent hot water when cold groundwater enters your system. Adding whole-home filtration systems directly addresses seasonal nitrate spikes in the local water supply, providing high-quality drinking water. Upgrading your sump pump also prevents basement water intrusion during spring snowmelt.

Helpful?

Homeowners consistently underestimate the depth of the local frost line, which requires extensive excavation for underground plumbing work. Residents also overlook strict municipal permit requirements for standard tasks like water heater replacements. You must factor in coordination time with the city of Johnston to access the street-side main water shutoff. Plan your spring projects in late winter to secure a licensed contractor before peak demand causes long scheduling delays.
