"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

A toilet flapper will remain open when the chain that it is connected to is too short. The chain should lift the flapper just enough to allow it to open the rest of the way on its own. The chain should have just about half an inch of slack.

Frozen pipes can negatively affect your hot water heater. If the pipes leading to or from your hot water heater freeze and burst, as can happen with frozen pipes, your water heater can be seriously damaged and even require replacement. In less extreme cases, frozen pipes can compromise or cut off your hot water supply.

DIY installation of a walk-in tub is not recommended as it is a challenging and risky project that requires advanced plumbing knowledge. Professional installation is crucial to ensure a proper and safe setup, water-tight conditions, adherence to local building codes, and the preservation of your product's warranty.

Emergency plumbers charge a significantly higher rate than for standard service, typically 1.5 to 3 times the normal hourly cost. You can expect to pay between $100 and $500 per hour, with an average of around $200 per hour. In addition to the higher hourly rate, many plumbers charge a flat emergency service or trip fee, which can be between $150 and $300. The final cost depends on the timing of the call; prices are highest for major holidays, followed by weekends and after-hours service on weekdays. For a complex job on a major holiday, a master plumber's rate could reach as high as $600 per hour.

Toilet paper is the only material that you should flush down toilets. Other items like wipes, paper towels, feminine hygiene products, dental floss, and medications should be disposed of in the trash. Flushing these items can lead to plumbing issues and damage to sewage systems. Grease and cooking oils should also be avoided as they can solidify in pipes, causing blockages. Proper disposal helps prevent clogs and ensures the efficient operation of wastewater treatment systems while protecting the environment.
