"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!"

"I had Bath Planet convert my bathtub/shower into a walk-in shower. It went great - from the salesman, James Allbee, to the time frame of the job being performed after the sale to the date completed (3 weeks); and the most praise goes to the installer, AJ (last name unknown), the man who did all of the hard work. He did it alone and in one day. He did an amazing job. He arrived first thing, a little after 8, and was done by 5:30 p.m. I did provide for him, my garage so that he had a place to work and cut material, etc. He had his own heater and work table in there and could close the garage if he needed or wanted. He first removed my glass sliding doors, then removed the shower walls, removed the dry wall so that the 2x4's and insulation were exposed to be able to get to the pipes and plumbing, and then replace all of that, including the drain all the way down to the main cast iron pipe or stack in the basement. He next broke up the porcelain covered cast iron bathtub with a rubber sledgehammer - removed all of the debris and hauled that stuff out in trash bags or carried out the large pieces and put in his work van. He then put in new wood or greenboard I believe it is called for the new walls and put a section on the floor where the tub used to be, before placing in the new basin. AJ also extended the pipe for the shower head so that it now is higher than it was, which was much appreciated and I didn't even have to request he do that but I love that it is up higher now. He next put up the lovely madeira granite acrylic that extends all the way up to my ceiling. He installed all the fixtures that I purchased as I showed him where I wanted the shelves and safety bars installed. He then installed the tall glass shower sliding doors and did the final things such as putting the silicone sealant where it needed to be applied. He cleaned up after himself. I am so pleased and absolutely LOVE my new shower. I feel like I am showering in a fancy hotel."

Customers say: True professional

"Absolutely first rate. Not cheap, but if you want the best in home remodeling, Andy Scott and his father, Roger, is who you go to. Professional, punctual, always on top of things, a delight to  be around. This was a five week project. Andy and Roger did a lot of the work themselves, but they also used high quality subs: flooring, tile, plumbing, cabinet doors, electrical, painting the kitchen cabinets and credenza (CR Painting-not often you can find a painter who does first class work on cabinets). I would have never been able to find and coordinate the level of skilled professionals that Andy did. The project went smoothly from start to finish. I would definitely hire Scott's Home Renewal again -- and I will.

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Hiring an emergency plumber is expensive because of the urgency and inconvenience, but there are a few things you can do to help keep costs down:

  • Minimize water damage by shutting off your water main 

  • Clean up pooling water immediately to reduce damage and mold growth

  • Avoid using fixtures if you have a clog or septic system backup

  • Verify that your plumber is licensed before hiring

  • Call a few plumbers for estimates if you can afford a short delay in getting service

During the winter, pipeworks constrict and don't expand until warm weather comes. If it doesn't get very cold where you live, but you're still having a problem getting outdoor faucet handles to turn, there's probably a build-up under the handle. Mineral build-up is especially common in areas with hard water. Limescale causes faucets and stems to become resistant to turning. Worn parts and debris can also make it impossible to turn a faucet.

For easy-to-access pipes, your plumber will shut off the main water line and replace the pipes without demolishing your property. Underground or difficult-to-access pipes require different approaches. There are two ways to replace underground cast iron pipes: trench and trenchless sewer line replacements. Trenchless replacements result in minimal damage to your yard and involve bursting pipes and replacing them with new ones via an access point.

There are several reasons why you might not get enough water pressure in your house. For one, you might have leaky pipes—a common cause of low water pressure—that divert water flow from the places you need it (like your faucets and showers). Blocked pipes, faulty fixtures, and closed valves are three more possible culprits. In other cases, your low water pressure might be the result of a local water supply issue.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a leaky faucet that’s dripping at a rate of one drip per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water per year. This is one reason why it’s important to fix a leaky faucet sooner rather than later.
