"Jim tracked the issue to a bad thermistor, something the previous plumber had tested and said was fine. Jim was able to get the system working, so my daughter and I would have hot water over the weekend. When the pilot light went out again a few minutes after Jim left, he turned around (this was after 6 pm at this point), got it restarted and stayed until he was sure the water heater would continue to work.
Jim returned several weeks later to install a new water heater, at a much lower price than the previous company had quoted. The work was done quickly, and professionally. Jim even took the time to repair a plumbing issue that had existed since the home was built.
I have since bought the home from my landlord, and will use JRS Plumbing for any issues I have in the future. Jim is friendly, courteous, and above all else, honest. I would not hesitate to recommend his work to any of my family and friends."

"I needed an outdoor faucet replaced as I had to use a socket screwdriver to turn the water on/off. He came out, knew exactly what was needed and got right to work. It seemed like in no time he was back at my door letting me know it was done. Great job, works so much better!"
"We had the pleasure of working with Elevated Plumbing after American Home Shield assigned them to handle a plumbing issue in our home. From start to finish, they provided exceptional service that exceeded our expectations.
After submitting the work request through AHS, I quickly received a friendly call from Elevated Plumbing’s office staff, followed by a text and email confirming the service details. Their communication was stellar, and they kept us informed at every step.
When Dustin arrived, it was immediately clear we were in capable hands. Dustin’s professionalism, expertise, and patience stood out as he diagnosed and repaired the issue. The repair process involved removing drywall, sourcing parts, replacing a damaged section of pipe, and thoroughly testing the system to ensure the leak was fixed. Dustin also took the time to answer all my questions and explain why the leak occurred, which I greatly appreciated."

Asbestos is commonly found in certain older homes, depending on the time period in which they were built. Asbestos use in home construction began in the 1920s and peaked after World War II before being limited by legislation in the ’70s, so a house constructed in 1880 is unlikely to contain asbestos, while one built in 1950 is much more likely to. Research a home’s history to determine the time period when it was built and any renovations made since.
Whether or not to buy a home containing asbestos is ultimately a decision for the homebuyer, and there are several things to consider. When in good condition and contained, asbestos is unlikely to present a health risk—it’s when those tiny fibers are loose and airborne that they become a problem. Consider any renovations you plan on doing to the home that could disturb existing asbestos and the cost of removal. If an inspection finds asbestos in a home on the market, you could negotiate with the seller for a lower price, though this isn’t a sure thing.
Common areas include insulation, flooring, ceilings, and siding in older buildings. Professionals identify potential risks.
