"The sales reps, while they were nice and professional, at the end of the day they were still salesman first. They put us through an almost 4 hour presentation that ended up with us signing a contract that my wife and I were left not feeling very good about and pressured into. They even called their manager who congratulated us on our new bathtub setup for $12k. We hadn't even signed anything or been approved by the financial dept yet! In order to cancel the contract, I have to take a signed paper to their main office after work today. Very inconvenient for me. The worst part was that Thomas and Holden kept guilt tripping us into signing the contract because they had come all the way out to Mountain Home from Boise. If that's part of your job, don't make the customer feel bad about it. Lastly, they showed us what a "high end" bathroom remodel job looked like at over $24,000! That's more than it would've cost us to completely replace our HVAC system! If you have a chance to use DaBella, go ahead and skip them. Pushy and too expensive. Update: Just got an alert from Credit Karma, DaBella still did a hard pull on my credit even though I canceled them yesterday! Plus the receptionist, Maggie, told me that the team leader would be reaching out to me to confirm our cancelation; that did not happen."

"Landmark Uses Disreputable Contractors ?

Then Landmark sent Brenovations HVAC for an AC motor replacement, and that turned into exposed wires, bolts hitting fan blades, missing parts, and complete disregard for safety near my kids? play area. Both companies were unprofessional, negligent, and refused accountability. Landmark?s use of these contractors makes me seriously question the value of having a home warranty at all."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

If you've discovered a rather frightening buildup of brown and black gunk below your shower cover, you're not alone. The smelly sludge is often a collection of mildew and biofilm. Biofilm comes from the breakdown of soap scum, hair, skin cells, and bacteria that collects during shower time. It's quite common in a humid space and relatively easy to clean with a gentle DIY cleaning solution such as baking soda and vinegar.

The cost varies from $150 to $600, depending on the severity of the clog, pipe access, and required equipment.

If your kitchen is flooding, first turn off the water supply and electricity before entering the room. Next, focus on immediate flood control by cleaning up any standing water with a sump pump or wet-dry vacuum to prevent long-term water damage to your home. Open your windows and run any dehumidifiers you have handy. Finally, call a professional plumber to help find the source of the flood and repair it.

It’s sometimes difficult to distinguish a clog from a frozen drainpipe since ice technically causes a clog. If the temperature doesn’t tip you off, there are a few additional signs that your pipe is frozen. Look for condensation and frost around the pipes. Ice in pipes can cause a banging or clanking noise as opposed to a clog from a softer material.

The best practice is to hydro jet your sewer line once per year. However, there are several factors that can affect this recommendation, including the age and condition of your pipes, how often your sewer line is used, and the type of waste disposed of in the system. When in doubt, ask a licensed plumber for their recommendation for your plumbing system.
