"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
Showers frequently experience leaks, most commonly originating from either the faucet or a malfunctioning shower drain. Detecting a leaky faucet is straightforward—listen for the constant sound of dripping water, even after you believe you've fully closed the faucet. In the case of a shower drain issue, it is often characterized by water seeping from the base, usually caused by a deteriorated seal between the shower wall and the shower tray.
Yes, copper pipes freeze at temperatures of 20 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. In fact, copper pipes are more likely to freeze than other piping types since they conduct energy and lose heat quickly. They’re also more difficult to insulate, since insulation may make it difficult for heat to reach the pipes during sudden surges of cold weather.
A liquid drain cleaner can sometimes make a clog worse over time if you use it improperly or too much. The chemicals in drain cleaners can corrode and damage pipes, causing cracks and leaks that may cause further blockages. If the clog is more than the liquid drain cleaner can handle, the cleaner will simply add chemicals to a bigger overall problem.
While you shouldn’t increase the flow of your low-flow toilet by adjusting the water level in the toilet bowl set by the manufacturer, you can make the flow as efficient as possible by ensuring the rim jets under the rim are unobstructed. To do this, use a mirror to look under the rim and scrub them with a toothbrush or a small wire to clear any debris stuck in the holes. You can also watch for leaks, make sure the internal components are in good shape, and replace them if necessary.
A sewage ejector pump is necessary if you have any plumbing fixtures, such as a bathroom, laundry room, or sink, located below the level of your home's main sewer line. Standard plumbing relies on gravity to drain wastewater and solid waste into the municipal sewer system or a septic tank. For fixtures below this level, like those in a basement, gravity cannot move the waste upward. The ejector pump provides the force needed to pump the sewage up to the main line. Without one, wastewater from below-ground fixtures would back up, potentially causing a sewage overflow and flooding. If all of your plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity is sufficient and an ejector pump is not needed.
