"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
Yes, even though frost-free and freeze-proof faucets are designed to withstand winter weather, it is still recommended to cover them with an insulated cap, especially during periods of extreme cold. These faucets work by keeping excess water inside the home's heated space and using a downward slope to drain, but this protection can be compromised. For the faucet to work correctly, you must always disconnect any attached hoses before temperatures drop below freezing, as a hose can trap water and lead to freezing. Ultimately, covering all outdoor faucets, even freeze-proof models, is the best way to prevent frozen and burst pipes.
A hose bib is typically located on an exterior wall of the home, about 6 to 18 inches from the ground or on a deck floor. It will have a top handle that you use to turn the water supply on and off. It will also have a male hose thread, or MHT, on the outlet side, where you would connect a hose.
Yes, you can use the same hole in the wall for the new spigot, provided that the existing hole is in good condition and aligns with the mounting holes of the new spigot. However, ensuring a proper fit and seal is essential to prevent leaks. If there are significant mismatches or issues with the existing hole, make adjustments or consider using a flange or escutcheon to cover any gaps or imperfections around the new spigot.
Yes, plumber's putty ensures a solid bond between the drain assembly and sink. Silicone is a good alternative if you prefer not to use plumber's putty. However, plumber's putty typically isn't visible from the outside of the drain, as you can wipe away any excess when done.
The best way to unclog a bathtub drain is to pour a pot of boiled water down the drain, being careful not to splash yourself. However, take precautions, as boiling water can damage PVC pipes and joints. Follow up with ½ cup of baking soda and ½ cup of vinegar. Cover the drain with a small sink plunger and let it sit for 15 minutes. Pour boiling water down the drain again and replace the drain stopper.
