"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!"

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."

A professional indoor air quality inspection takes anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the size of your home and the number of necessary samples. After the test, the specialist will discuss the findings, but you won’t get a full written report for 2 to 10 days, though you can ask your pro to expedite the process, if needed.
While asbestos can’t be directly absorbed through the skin—the fibers are too big—skin contact can still produce symptoms. Contact dermatitis can flare up in sensitive individuals but in most cases, the danger from asbestos comes from inhaling the fibers, or dust, that is produced when asbestos is disturbed. If you touch asbestos by accident, immediately wash yourself and your clothes.
While a professional can always help, there are some common plumbing culprits you can check yourself to see if you can find the sewer gas smell. For example, you should check your water traps, sometimes called P-traps and S-traps, which are located under sink, shower, and laundry drains. The wax ring beneath the base of your toilet, which creates a watertight seal with the plumbing, could also have gone bad.
If you think you’ve touched asbestos, do not put on a mask. This is important because you may take the asbestos fibers on your hands on trap them in the mask. Make your way to a sink and wash your hands thoroughly. Remove any clothes and seal them in a bag, then take a shower. Call your doctor and let them know you’ve been exposed to asbestos, and make sure you see them as soon as possible. The reason you keep the clothes is in case anyone wants to confirm the presence of asbestos.
Asbestos fibers can stay airborne for 48 to 72 hours, depending on the home's ventilation. Fibers can linger longer in enclosed spaces with poor airflow. Because the fibers are microscopic, they can easily remain suspended, making them difficult to detect without professional equipment.
