"Our hot water heater quit running Sunday morning. We got on Angie's list and put out an sos. Vince with Marathon plumbing answered us quickly and came out to our house within the hour. And we had hot running water by 12:30 p.m. they've installed an overflow relief valve to our floor drain in our basement. The work was done quickly and with good quality. And disposed of our old one. Thank you, Vince."
"What did I get from my call to Bath Fitter in Boise, Idaho? An excellent experience and a wonderful new bathtub! Tony went way above and beyond to replace my 60+ year-old cast-iron tub with a new, beautiful surround and tub. When he finished (yes, in just ONE day,) he cleaned up the room even better than it had been before he started. He also noticed a slight problem with my toilet and fixed it for me! I couldn't ask for a better experience! I recommend Bath Fitter for anyone."

"We had a bathroom remodel with a walk in shower. Our installer was great for the most part. He was here a week or so before scheduled. We did not get the flooring we requested, I don?t mind that the floor is nice. We requested frosted shower doors but received clear. When they came by for the final payment we told them. The new doors were ordered, we were told at that time. It?s been three months and someone called again today about the final payment?my husband informed him that we still didn?t have the correct doors and that the correct plumbing vent had not been installed. They are a very personable company, but not always correct or fast."

"Well. 1st plumber who looked at the system said shower valves needed to be replaced but that was a problem because there are no access panels. Chaub plummer advised valves were good quality and there was no need to replace. He replaced/installed new hardware and did a great job in a timely manner."
Yes, it’s necessary to have a sink drain stopper. While your sink will still work without a stopper, a stopper is necessary to keep things other than water from going down into your pipes and potentially clogging them. It prevents plumbing problems by keeping out unwanted debris and objects like hair, soap, toothpaste, dirt, and jewelry.
The maximum distance between a washer drain vent and the drainpipe depends on pipe size. A one-and-a-half-inch drainpipe can be no more than 42 inches from the drain vent, a 2-inch drainpipe can be no more than 5 feet away, a 3-inch pipe can be up to 6 feet away, and a 4-inch pipe can be up to 10 feet away.
Besides opting for a professional inspection, there are some other telltale signs that a pipe in your home is ready to go. Keep an eye out for signs of leaks and spot-check exposed areas of piping. Musty smells, spots on your walls, and dripping sounds are signs an unseen pipe has a leak, for example. You can also check the tubing for stains, flaking, and discoloration, all of which are signs of corrosion.
Different plumbing systems may sound different when a pipe is about to burst, so sounds alone are not a definitive indication of a burst pipe. However, dripping sounds indicate a leaking pipe, and there’s a thin line between a small leak and a bursting overflow. Metallic sounds like clanging and rattling are common when a pipe bursts, though they can also indicate a normally functioning hot water system.
No, rough-in plumbing isn’t usually required for minor bathroom changes. However, if you’re taking on the cost of a bathroom remodel and require plumbing work, hiring your local plumber to replumb your home is best. Rough-in plumbing is only ideal for new construction and full-blown renovations.
