"The Sales Associate was able to provide all of the products for us to chose without needing to go to a showroom. He was very helpful and friendly. I actually believed that he was selling a good product. The installation was a one day and no hassle. The installer was organized and very tidy. Every thing was moved away and clean before he left the house. The water was only turned off for a short period of time. I love my new shower and surround. I ordered the waterfall shower doors and I was a little afraid that I may not like them but they are gorgeous, plus when guest use that bathroom they can't see into all the hair products that I use. I also purchase the shower doors. I have not had shower door since I was young and renting. They always seem hard to clean and had water calcium build up but when you use a good product and learn how to clean them it's a game changer.The Sales person and the installer go into great detail on how to keep your shower looking brand new. The cleaning proess is extremly easy. The price was lower than going to your local Home Improvement center. I like that this company makes all for the products and guarantees their work and the products. They did a great job on the install. My husband is a perfectonist and they passed his high standard! They also call and remind you when the installer will be there. They call again after thte install to make sure you are not having any issues. This company will definitely be the best contractor that you have used! I was always a tub person but I have switched. I love the seat and the hand held shower nozzel. As a senior I think the shower will be so valuable for my husband and I when entering and exiting the tub becomes too cumbersome. Make sure you alot enough time to talk to the Sales person when he makes an appointment. I thought it would be a quick meeting with them sendingus a bid. That is not how this company works. They brng their products give you an accurate bid and are ready to sign the contracts. If you need to obtain other bids make them the last because you won't want to go with any other contractor. All in all, I would highly recomment this company."

"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, you can fix pipe threads. In fact, the process is the same as cutting new ones. You’ll need to use a pipe threader tool with the proper size die head for the pipe. Turning the threader over the damaged threads will clean up any damaged or worn-out threads in the pipe. If the pipe threads are too damaged, this process may not work, and you’ll need to replace the pipe.

It’s safe to carry out minor repairs on small cracks and leaks on copper pipes by yourself. Since copper melts under heat, you can solder a copper pipe to repair what’s broken. Note that it’s better to solder two couplings and a copper pipe together to fix minor leaks. This gives you some additional material for a stronger repair.

The first step to clearing the air in a line is to locate the cause. This is usually a blockage in either the drain or the venting system. Once you clear the issue, flush the system by actually flushing the toilets repeatedly. This should allow the trapped air to escape, thus clearing the lines. Don’t be surprised if there is increased bubbling as the air makes its way through the system. 

Sewer ejector pumps need to be cleaned at least once a year by a professional. You shouldn’t attempt to clean it yourself because it can release sewer gasses that are toxic to humans and can be fatal. But to keep the system as clean as possible between professional inspection and cleaning services, be sure to only flush human waste and toilet paper. Avoid flushing items that can clog the system, like paper towels, grease, oil, or menstruation products.

Connected a water line to a refrigerator is an intermediate project that’s perfect for DIYers. If your fridge and sink already have a water line and need replacing, then this task will be even easier. However, if you’re installing a water line for the first time, it should still be a doable project to take on. You’ll just need to install an adapter to your sink before you can connect the water line.
