"- Install guy was amazing!! - sales guy was very down to earth, polite, and was even still sitting with us after 10pm on a Wednesday night going through options! - few points the sales guy emphasized, weren't part of the finished product (thin set for base, corner trims/crown molding, mold spray, etc) - shower base is our only complaint. It's pretty flimsy, slippery, seems very cheap. If don't go with doors the shower curtain won't stick/magnetize to the base (even after buying a more heavy duty curtain) and seems to attack and wrap around you while in the shower. - cost is on the high end, but so is everything else."

"From all the salesmen who came to give me thier sells pitch, it was refreshing to see Nate- the business owner, who goes out to meet the potential customer, take the measurements, showing the materials and designs samples in a calm, friendly way rather than pushing to close right now. As a small business the price tag estimate for the job was significantly lower than the other 3 compannies we talked to, as it doesn't have to include sales guys, training centers and big administration. After order was placed Rob who installed came with everything and put all carefully and meticulously. This business doesn't promis like all others "instalation in 1 day", but take thier time doing everything in the proper way rather a fast sloppy job. Thank you guys for a real royal shower !"

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

You can prevent pipes from bursting by taking several preventive measures. For example:

  • Keep your pipes from freezing when temperatures drop by setting your thermostat to 55 degrees or higher.

  • Open under-sink cabinets to allow warm air to flow around the pipes. 

  • Let faucets drip to keep water moving.

  • Add insulation to crawl spaces or pipes to keep them warm.

You should never pour antifreeze down the drain or outside on the ground. Because it's highly toxic, antifreeze can still impact people and animals long after it drains. Antifreeze can contaminate water and sewage systems, and any that gets into storm drains and water supplies can attract animals and harm those that ingest it.

You’ll need two sizes of pipe to plumb a bathroom. You’ll use a 1/2-inch pressure pipe for your supply lines that run from the fixture to the larger 3/4-inch supply lines that run through the house. For drain lines, you’ll need a 3-inch PVC pipe for your toilet, a 2-inch PVC pipe for stand-alone showers, and a 1 1/2-inch pipe for a shower/tub combo and the bathroom sink. Each fixture’s drain will run to the 3-inch main drain that runs through the house.

No, you can’t convert a gravity-flush toilet to a pressure-assist toilet. Pressure-assist toilets include a tank-within-the-tank, and a standard gravity-flush toilet doesn’t have a capability to include the additional tank. If you want the benefits of a pressure-assist toilet, you’ll have to make the investment in a new one. 

It will take between three and five days to complete this project. Plumbing a bathroom is not an easy job. The process of roughing in the plumbing and installing all the fixtures takes a fair amount of time. Take your time and make sure you do the job right or you could end up with costly leaks.
