"I had a really bad shower and toilet clog so I decided to contact flo-maxx and they sent 2 professionals, Garret and Raymond to do the job but I wasn’t sure if they would be able to clear the drain, they definitely cleared it super quick and also cleaned my floor afterwards. They finally left but there was a small leak from the toilet water line and I called them and they came back again to check it and fix it, no big deal they did great! 10/10"
"Anthony, a representative with Best Price Sewer and Plumbing, reached out to me by phone. He asked what issues we were having and asked me to take/send a photo of the sump pump. I did as he asked. Turns out it was the ejector pump and not the sump pump. He scheduled to come out the very next morning at 10am and he arrived right on time. Anthony was extremely nice, jovial, and very respectful of our home. He went downstairs to assess the problem and explained exactly what materials would be needed for the repair. He then ran out (for the parts) and said he would return in about 45 minutes. Again, returned right on time! Upon his return with his materials, he immediately got to work. My husband kept Anthony company as he worked. Anthony explained everything he was doing and why. As he worked, he and my husband discovered they had something in common (i.e. military). You could hear them talking/laughing - voices carrying through the floor as Anthony worked. Once Anthony was done, he ran a few tests to be sure everything was in working condition. He answered any questions that we had (he’s very knowledgeable and knows his stuff!). Before we knew it, Anthony was done. Right before he left, we discussed the flappers in the toilet bowls - another upcoming project. He thanked us and we thanked him. I HIGHLY recommend this company for all plumbing needs. They will be on my speed-dial from here on out! Thank you, Anthony!"
"Yes, Dan completed the job on time and very professional. His knowledge and expertise I would recommend his services to anyone any day anytime who needs any plumbing work done in their home. Dan was very courteous and polite and always was able to explain in detail any problems or questions that we had concerning our toilet issue. I thank GOODFELLAS for the service and will always keep them in mind for future repairs or maintenance. thank you very much Dan you did an outstanding job at our home and took care of the problem."
"They cleaned out catch basin, repaired it (one of the bricks fell out) and tuckpointed it. Also scoped my sewer line. My home was built in 1910. Able was very responsive and professional. Their competitors never even returned my phone calls. I’d definitely hire them again."
"Nick and Gus installed a hot water tank. They were amazing - so thorough and professional. They explained the process involved and went above and beyond checking to make sure all faucets and tub were working properly after shutting off the water. Also, they took the time to explain to me how to understand the way my battery operated sump pump works with technology. Fantastic workers!"
"We hired Anthony to replace early 1920â s galvanized piping throughout our entire home. He was very knowledgeable, thorough, and punctual. I would definitely recommend his company. My husband and I are very pleased."
"I had a leak in the pipe connecting toilet to sewer. Four Season came and replace my old corroded cast iron piping with PVC piping, and also replaced the old toilet with a new one."
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.
Some of the most common plumbing repairs are certainly no small issues. The good news is that plumbers typically deal with these problems frequently and have the parts and tools ready to take care of them quickly and efficiently.
These common problems include:
The Thanksgiving holiday period is one of the busiest times of the year for plumbers. Both Thanksgiving Day and the day after, often called Black Friday or "Brown Friday" by plumbing professionals, see a significant increase in service requests. This is because a house full of guests, large holiday meals, and unfamiliarity with the home's plumbing can lead to clogged drains, garbage disposal issues, and sewer line backups. Outside of the holidays, the busiest weekdays for plumbers are typically Monday and Tuesday, as many people discover plumbing problems over the weekend but wait to call for service. Despite the holiday, you can rest assured that many plumbers work on Thanksgiving and Black Friday to handle the surge in emergency calls.
The normal water level in a toilet bowl is about halfway full. The water should sit above the P trap drain because this creates a seal and suction. When you flush the toilet, the suction keeps sewer gases from entering your house through your toilet. Anytime the water level is higher or lower than half full, you need to make adjustments or replace broken parts.
Technically, you can put an elongated toilet seat on a round toilet, but it’s not a good idea. Elongated toilet seats are a few inches longer than round toilets, so they will hang over the front edge of your toilet, which isn’t appealing. Additionally, an unsupported toilet seat or portion of a toilet seat is more likely to crack and shift, which could result in injury to whoever uses the toilet. Always match your toilet seat style to your toilet, or replace the toilet entirely if you’re looking to switch styles.
