"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 clawfoot tub's water supply lines and drain pipe are visible above the floor. When the water leaves the bath, it enters the drain pipe, which leads under the floor, before connecting to the main drain pipe leading to the sewer system or septic tank. Some modern clawfoot tubs also feature an overflow hole and pipe to prevent the bath water from spilling out if you overfill it.

Many plumbers include removing and disposing of the old toilet as part of their service package. However, it’s best to ask before signing a contract, as removal isn’t guaranteed. If the plumber doesn’t take the old toilet, you have several options, including donation, recycling, junk removal, and bulk waste services..

A water pressure regulator, also known as a pressure-reducing valve (PRV), is typically located near the main water shut-off valve where the main water line enters your home. Common places to check are basements, utility areas, or outside near the water meter. The device is usually bell-shaped. Its purpose is to control the water pressure coming into your home from the public supply, protecting your pipes, plumbing fixtures, and appliances. If you can't find a regulator, your home might not have one. In cases of high water pressure, installing a PRV is recommended.

To file a claim against a plumber, you’ll need to contact their liability insurance company. You can ask your plumber for information about their insurer, or you can refer to the documentation you collected before you hired them. Let the company know you need to file a claim, and they’ll provide you with the next steps. Alternatively, you can ask your homeowner’s insurance company to help you file.

Vinegar could damage drain pipes in theory since it’s corrosive in large quantities. However, you would have to pour a whole lot of vinegar down the drain at regular intervals to cause any issues. Adding a bit every now and then to clear out clogs is fine.
