Best affordable plumbers near Richfield, ID

Q: Can you patch a leaking copper pipe?

• <div><p>You can temporarily patch a leaking copper pipe using epoxy putty or adhesive tape. These are not permanent solutions, and you will eventually need to remove and replace the damaged portion of the pipe. </p><p>For a smaller pinhole, you can solder it closed using plumbing flux. Again, this is only a temporary solution, but it will give you time to hire a plumber and go over your options.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a backwater valve and a backflow preventer?

• <div><p>A backwater valve&rsquo;s purpose is to let the water flow in one direction. It works like a little door that allows water to flow freely in one direction but stops it from flowing the opposite way. A backflow preventer is meant to prevent water from leaving your system, locking out wastewater in the process. Backflow preventers are commonly used by city sewer systems to stop residential wastewater from entering the water supply. </p></div>

Q: Is it better to snake a drain or use a drain cleaner?

• <div><p>Applying drain cleaner is a common DIY solution to clogged drains, but it can be extremely harmful to your pipes and lead to corrosion and leaks. It is almost always better to try snaking a clog than using a drain cleaner, but the best solution is to hire a professional plumber. They can locate the clog and gauge the severity using a camera system and then decide if using a plumber&rsquo;s snake, auger, or drain cleaner is the best option to remove the clog and limit damage to your plumbing system.</p></div>

Q: How can I tell if pipes need replacing?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What should I do with the toilet seat?

• <div><p>While the toilet bowl and toilet tank require haul away to your curb, landfill, or recycling center, you can dispose of your old, used toilet seat in your regular garbage collection. If your toilet seat is plastic or duroplast, you can even recycle it instead at a local recycling facility.</p></div>

"We’ve had such a great experience every time we’ve used this plumber. Most recently, I called to have new faucets installed and he was able to come out the same day, did a great job, and left everything clean. He’s also installed shower faucets for us and fixed a toilet in the past, and every time the work has been done right and stress-free. He’s reliable, professional, and very reasonably priced. We’ve been happy every single time and will definitely keep using him and recommending him."

"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&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;t ask for a better experience! I recommend Bath Fitter for anyone."
