"The first rep I spoke to was very friendly. He spent as much time as I needed to answer my questions and concerns and to negotiate the best financing deal. The installer came promptly at the scheduled time and got the job done quickly and well. I am very happy with my new walk in shower and would definitely recommend hiring them!"

"Don and his Sure Dry team were incredible. I hired them to waterproof my basement after years of dealing with annoying water. They were professional, efficient, timely, and most importantly very knowledgeable at what they do. The work was hard and messy, yet they left my basement in better condition than they found it. Even after discovering a mold issue. Within 14 days of contacting Sure Dry for a free quote, I had a fully waterproofed basement at a very good price. I cannot say enough good things about Don and his company. They were the best company I have ever hired to work on my home. I will recommend them at every opportunity I have."

"The phone service center worker was polite and friendly.  The company confirmed the appointment by phone.  The plumber Jon came to my Godfrey residence exactly on time.  My dog (who seems to have a sixth sense about people's character) stopped barking as soon as I invited Jon in, and was calm.  Jon wore booties and even put booties on wheels of all equipment brought into my home to keep floors clean.  He asked many questions before starting and did a quite thorough diagnostic work up, explaining the various possible causes of the problem.  When most likely problem was found he took extra measures to ensure other problems did not coexist.  He was knowledgeable.  Before starting the job he showed me the cost from the company's list and reviewed written company standards including that all plumbers are licensed, must receive frequent training to keep up on their skills, undergo frequent drug screens, and carry $1 million in insurance.  He showed me that the company received an A minus rating from the Better Business Bureau and when I asked him to prove it he politely asked if he could use my computer and he pulled up the BBB site on line, showing me the rating.  He was thorough in fixing the problem and demonstrated to me in different ways how we could be sure the problem was fixed.  He left no mess.  He gave me tips on how to keep the problem from recurring and steered me away from unnecessary interventions that had been suggested to me by others.  When I had to leave to pick up my son from school he waited at my kitchen table for me to return.  He gave me a written guarantee that if the problem recurred to even a small degree it would be fixed for free.  He asked me to honestly critique my experience on the local. google. com site, explaining his company uses this feedback to improve services.  He was courteous and friendly yet professional.  He was kind to my son.  THIS is my new plumber.

"I hired them to replace my back door. I have large dogs that destroyed it. They were professional, came out quickly, and had everything taken care of in a short time. Great prices compared to other places I received estimates from. I am very happy and would recommend this company."

"Great sales and honest woman owned! Loved the outcome and they were very understanding when I had to push the project out due to the death in the family and my responsibility for expenses. Tammy is wonderful and her crew knows what they are doing. I have contracted her to upgrade the second bathroom also. Love the results of the master and cannot wait to see the 2nd bath remodel!"

Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts

Yes, continuing to flush a clogged toilet is not likely to break up the clog. Instead, it will continue to put pressure on the clog while filling the bowl with more water, which can potentially cause the toilet to overflow—leading to an even bigger mess. Rather than repeatedly flushing, use a toilet plunger or plumber’s snake to dislodge the clog.

Schedule regular inspections, fix minor issues promptly, and ensure proper drainage.

Anything from debris, rust, ice, and even poor installation can cause clogs in your plumbing vents. Some signs of a clog include slow drains, gurgling sounds in drains and toilets, and bad odors. The bad odors are the most concerning, as these can include methane and hydrogen sulfide. Contact a plumber to come take a look if you notice any of these signs.

Most experienced professionals can get an entire trenchless pipe lining project done in a single day, and smaller projects might take as little as three to four hours. If your technician uses machinery to dig the two access points, the job will likely be faster, whereas manual digging will take a bit longer and could push the project above six hours.

There are a multitude of causes for low water pressure in outdoor spigots. Normally, the water just gushes right out of them, but a soft trickle happens if the spigot itself is old or damaged. If parts are misplaced or worn down, the water pressure won't be as high as it should be. More complex causes include ruptured water lines and problems with the water meter.
