"Ray replaced all the rusting galvanized pipes in our house and installed a new water service line from the meter to our house. I was impressed by his professionalism and concern for our welfare. I also appreciative that Ray: -Recruited additional plumbers so that all the corroding pipes were removed and replaced in just two days. He made sure that we were never without water in the evening. - Made improvements in our plumbing to avoid future issues. -Took the lead in securing reasonably priced, and quality contractors to repair holes in our walls and to dig a trench for the new service line. This was especially helpful because good contractors were hard to find during the building. -Worked directly with water company technicians to insure the functionality of the finished system. -Carefully preserved and replaced sod during the installation of the new service line so that restoration of our lawn was immediate. -Taught me how to correct leaks in our toilets. -Always responded promptly. Ray's experience and commitment to his customers were evident throughout the project. I highly recommend him!"

"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!"
Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts
Yes, a sprinkler system can leak even when it is turned off. This issue is often caused by a leaky valve, which may have a crack or hole that allows water to pass through. In many cases, repairing the valve will solve the problem. Another possibility is that water is simply finishing its draining cycle, which you might notice at the lowest sprinkler head as gravity pulls the remaining water out. More seriously, the leak could be due to improper grading of the system, which can lead to significant water waste. It's also possible that what appears to be a leak is actually just poor drainage in your yard. If you suspect a leak, it's a good idea to have a professional take a look to diagnose the exact cause.
The nice thing about outdoor water spigots is they last on average 10 to 20 years, depending on the model that you have. If you do happen to see any type of issue outside of that range, investigate the cause and what needs to be fixed to prevent further damage to your pipes or your home.
Sewer ejector pumps need to be cleaned at least once a year by a professional. You shouldn’t attempt to clean it yourself because it can release sewer gasses that are toxic to humans and can be fatal. But to keep the system as clean as possible between professional inspection and cleaning services, be sure to only flush human waste and toilet paper. Avoid flushing items that can clog the system, like paper towels, grease, oil, or menstruation products.
It is best practice to hire a plumber to install a bathroom sink and vanity. Even simple installations require basic plumbing work, such as connecting water supply lines and attaching the sink to the drainage system. While an experienced DIYer might manage a straightforward setup, any complex work, like modifying existing plumbing or installing new lines, should always be left to a licensed plumber to avoid the risk of expensive water damage. In most cases, a plumber will handle the installation, provided it is a straightforward job that does not require custom carpentry. It's important to outline your expectations with the plumber beforehand to confirm they can handle the full project.
A bathtub diverter is used when you have a shower-tub combination. The diverter valve allows you to send the water to either your tub faucet or your showerhead. Diverter shower valves cost between $20 and $200. Higher-end brands, such as Moen, might cost more—some models are over $250.
