"These guys were GREAT!. We had an 'urgent' need with sink problems in a house of BSU students studying for finals. I was out of town, different time zone, hard to reach and they totally worked with me. They got right over. Not just fixed immediate problem but really helped us to upgrade affordably. They are on my Favorites now"

"We had two plumbing companies previously deal w our plumbing issues, it took Beacon to solve the problem! Using a high resolution camera to examine the main line it was found the cast pipe under the house and extending about 5 feet beyond the foundation needed to be replaced. Beacon replaced the pipe, installed a clean out and repaired some other pre-existing problems. They did all this is one day at a fair price! Would definitely recommend Beacon plumbing."
"We hired dirt brothers to remove our xeriscape from our front yard and they did a fabulous job! Within an hour of inquiring, I received a phone call from them to get a little more information about my project. The next day they came by and took a look at my yard. They asked if they could take 15 minutes to make a few calls and crunch some numbers and get me a quote on the spot. I was delighted to hear they could quote me so quickly! Within 15 minutes, they were back at my door telling me what my project would cost. The number was fair and reasonable for the amount of work I was requesting so I hired them! They left my front yard clean and removed all debris. What impressed me most about this team is that they were good on their word every step of the way: the project cost was what they initially quoted, the project began when they said it would, and they finished it in the timeframe they proposed. Very pleased and would highly recommend to anyone needing excavation work!"
"I had this company replace 3 sinks and faucets in my bathrooms and a garbage disposal in my kitchen. They were fast, efficient, friendly and did it all at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend them."
Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts
Local plumbing codes and manufacturer recommendations typically dictate the minimum distance between a sink and a dishwasher. This is generally 18 to 24 inches, providing enough room for easy loading and unloading of dishes without hindering the sink's function. Maintaining this separation not only adds convenience but also reduces the chances of water damage and optimizes plumbing connections.
The only downsides to hiring a master plumber is that they charge a higher hourly rate than a less experienced plumber. Plus, master plumbers likely have less availability, given the demand for highly experienced professionals. The benefits far outweigh the cons, though.
Upsides include the following:
More professional repair
More experience fixing your specific issue
Recourse if something goes wrong
Warranty for the work (in some cases)
Some insulation from lawsuits if the plumber gets injured on your property
A sewer cleanout typically looks like a white or gray PVC pipe with a removable cap. It's often located either in your yard or basement, depending on your home's plumbing configuration. The cleanout pipe is designed to provide easy access to your sewer system for maintenance and inspections. It may be flush with the ground or slightly elevated, making it distinguishable from other pipes. When you remove the cap, you can access the sewer line directly or determine its direction, which can be helpful when you need to locate your sewer line from your house to the street.
Ensuring your toilet will fit starts with measuring the rough-in, but there are a few other factors to consider. The toilet tank's height and the toilet's depth should fit comfortably within the bathroom’s current setup. When considering depth, look at the walking space around the toilet to ensure it fits in the bathroom.
Vinegar is better for an AC drain line because it’s less corrosive and won’t damage the pipes. It’s also a safer and easier product to use. Bleach should not be used on your AC drain line because it can corrode your pipes and harm the evaporator coil in your air conditioner.
