"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!"

"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!"

Toilets questions, answered by experts

The lifespan of a toilet can vary significantly. While the porcelain body itself can last up to 50 years or more with proper care, most plumbers suggest an average functional lifespan of 10 to 25 years, and many homeowners replace their toilets after about 20 years.

A toilet's longevity is influenced by factors like maintenance quality, hard water buildup, and damage to the finish. It's also important to note that internal components have much shorter lifespans than the bowl; for example, flappers may last only a few years, while fill valves can last around 10 years.

Even if an older toilet is still functional, consider upgrading to a high-efficiency model to save on water costs.

The toilet flange anchors to the subfloor, usually with wood screws or cement screws, but most of it should sit above floor level at full height. When a flange is flush with the subfloor or below it, it can lead to the creation of leak paths.

After flushing the toilet, you should have about half a tank full of water. While the exact amount of water you’ll have will vary, you want to make sure you have enough to cover the bottom of the bowl and enough to sit above the P-trap drain. While low water in your toilet bowl can indicate a problem, too much water can also be cause for concern.

It is okay to use a drain auger on a toilet, just make sure you are using the correct tip size. The auger is a plumbing snake with a protective sleeve to protect the porcelain toilet bowl from getting scratched. Using too large of an auger can cause the snake to loop back and damage the inside of the drain and plumbing.

The main causes for a leaky toilet flapper include wear and tear or a broken or incorrectly installed toilet flapper chain. If your toilet flapper is torn or deteriorated, it can’t provide a proper seal to keep water from running. Meanwhile, a chain that has come loose, was moved, or just wasn’t installed right can prevent your flapper from fully closing.
