Over 10 years, Billy Steffensen, ATR’s owner, has rendered plumbing services for several repairs and recently completed our first floor gut and renovation project, that included all kitchen and powder room plumbing.
He’s also replaced all outdated gate water valves, with quarter turn shut offs in basement. This included replacing the dreaded water main valve that was leaking. All valves are water tight, no failures, rock solid craftsmanship. I hate loose and leaky pipes and second rate shoddy work that fails over time - and so does Billy!
In short, couldn’t be more pleased with Billy Steffensen (owner / operator) and his wife Theresa (business and customer satisfaction manager).
Here is what you get when you hire ATR Plumbing:
. Prompt Arrival - Have had more than dozen plumbing appointments with Billy. He’s shown up at my home almost to the minute Theresa says he’s going to show up. Never a missed appointment, or late arrival. Not sure if this is the case with every other client, but from my viewpoint, Billy and his two other associates have an impeccable on time arrival record with me.
. Work Quality - Have NEVER had a botched pipe seam, or leak, or water damage from any of Billy’s work (or from John or Matt, Billy’s associates). 100% quality work. The man knows what he’s doing and so does his staff. He’s seen it all, done it all, anticipates possible problems and has solutions. I’m confident when Billy (or his associates) show up, I’ve got a qualified and reputable professional - and it’s done to municipality code - no jury-rigged short-cuts.
. Billy’s Accessibility - You’ll almost never reach Billy by phone. And that’s really good news for you. He focuses his time and attention completely on your project when he’s in your home, rather than answering calls and lining up his next project with another customer. He leaves most all phone calls to Theresa.
. Theresa’s Accessibility - During business hours, on the first call, you’ll always reach Billy’s wife and business partner, Theresa. And if you don’t get her immediately, I’ve always left a voice mail and received a call back within 15 minutes, my guess is you’ll find the same to be true. After business hours, she’s also highly responsive by email. She’s infinitely qualified, forever upbeat and will bend over backwards to accommodate reasonable (and not so reasonable) requests. If she doesn’t know the answer (which is rare) she’ll be back to you quickly (usually same day). She is 100% responsible for Billy’s scheduling, so he’s focused on getting your job done with the highest level of satisfaction.
Pricing - You get what you pay for. Won’t be most expensive, won’t be least. You can be assured whatever you pay, the work is backed with an unparalleled track record. He’s at the top of his craft. You’d be hard pressed to find many other plumbing services that offers the combined customer satisfaction that Billy and Theresa Steffensen deliver - every time.
Bottom Line - Anybody asks me for a plumber referral, no hesitation, ATR Plumbing. Every time.

"Installation went very well, but at the end I noticed the floor anchors are sticking out too much and the caps are not covering them. After I asked the installer if he can trim it, he said he doesn’t have hand saw and cannot use his power saw to do it. He told me I will have to buy my own saw and cut it myself. That defeats the purpose of hiring and paying for a professional to do their job!"

Welcome to Hargrave Investment Property Solutions, your full service Handyman professionals! We look forward to serving you!
"I hired Hargrave Investment Property Solution, to professionally dig 5 post holes using 8ft large, heavy steel posts. He was very inquisitive and made sure he understood what i wanted done. I tell you that young man was very professional, charismatic, attentive, knowledgeable, patient, precise and detailed. My posts are straight, even, lined up and the foot of the post he installed looks uniformed too. The young man Phillip knows what he is doing and is great at it. He took his time to make sure the measurements were spot on and he finished digging and installing all 5 post holes well under 3 hours. I will most definitely hire him again for any future projects. Also I would refer him to all my family and friends because not only does he know what he is doing, he is honest and trustworthy too. It was a privilege to have met and hire him. I am very good at judging people and he is a keeper. God bless him. Thank you Phillip.😊🙏"

Plumbing Handymen questions, answered by experts
Yes, you can clean a toilet tank with white vinegar. Before you do, shut off the water supply to the toilet. Then, flush it to empty the tank. Next, combine one part vinegar with one part water in a spray bottle and spray the mixture inside the tank. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then rinse away the vinegar by pouring clean water into the tank. Make sure the tank is empty, then dip a scrub brush in vinegar and clean the tank’s inside walls. Turn the water back on and flush again to rinse away the vinegar.
Different plumbing systems may sound different when a pipe is about to burst, so sounds alone are not a definitive indication of a burst pipe. However, dripping sounds indicate a leaking pipe, and there’s a thin line between a small leak and a bursting overflow. Metallic sounds like clanging and rattling are common when a pipe bursts, though they can also indicate a normally functioning hot water system.
The standard size of a pipe for the main water line ranges between 3/4 inch to 1 inch in diameter, but ultimately, the size will depend on your household size and its square footage. Depending on the size of the property, the water line size can range upwards to 1.5” in diameter for a very large house nearing 10,000 sq. ft. Incorrect pipe sizing can lead to potential damages and leaks. To avoid incorrect sizing, consider getting help from a local plumbing professional who can help you choose the right size and material for your pipe.
You can temporarily patch a leaking copper pipe using epoxy putty or adhesive tape. These are not permanent solutions, and you will eventually need to remove and replace the damaged portion of the pipe.
For a smaller pinhole, you can solder it closed using plumbing flux. Again, this is only a temporary solution, but it will give you time to hire a plumber and go over your options.
The most common reasons a toilet won’t stop running are a faulty flapper or fill valve, improper fill height, or incorrect chain length. Luckily, all these issues are relatively easy to fix with parts you can find at a local hardware store. You can also call a plumber or toilet repair professional to solve the problem.
