"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!"

"Expeditious Pro!!!!! From start to finish, Don replaced my old sump pump and installed a battery-powered backup within 24 hours of my initial contact through homeadvisor. Don and his crew did an excellent job and I felt they delivered great value for a great price. Peace of mind during Spring Showers...Priceless. Thanks Don!!! I will be hiring you again for ALL of my plumbing projects."

"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

Roofers don’t typically replace vent pipes themselves, but they do handle the flashing and seals around vent pipes when working on a roof. During a roof replacement or repair, roofers inspect the vent pipe flashing for damage, replace deteriorated seals, and ensure the pipe is properly integrated into the roofing system to prevent leaks. If the vent pipe itself is cracked or damaged, a plumber is usually required to replace it, while the roofer ensures the roofing components around the pipe remain watertight.

Yes. You can replace just the stopper portion with a universal sink stopper. All you need to do is open up the existing stopper and pull it up from the drain. You should be able to remove and replace the stopper with bare hands. If the existing stopper seems to be stuck, use a pair of pliers to remove it.

Today’s standard sink stopper size is 1.5 inches. However, you can still find different sizes if your house uses an older sink stopper. Other sizes you can find in most hardware stores include one inch, 1-1/4 inch, 1-3/8 inch, 1-5/8 inch, 1-7/8 inch, 2 inch, 2-1/4 inch, 2-3/8 inch, and 2.5 inch.

Sealant doesn’t need to be applied to the bolts, but it can be a good way to stop an active leak in the moment. However, don’t rely on it as a cure-all; instead, make sure to fix the problem at the source by changing or tightening the bolts. 

If you do use sealant, make sure to spread it thickly and evenly across the bolts and the tank's porcelain.

The only downsides to hiring a master plumber is that they charge a higher hourly rate than a less experienced plumber. Plus, master plumbers likely have less availability, given the demand for highly experienced professionals. The benefits far outweigh the cons, though. Upsides include the following:

  • More professional repair

  • More experience fixing your specific issue

  • Recourse if something goes wrong

  • Warranty for the work (in some cases)

  • Some insulation from lawsuits if the plumber gets injured on your property
