"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!"

"Toilet was backed up and overflowed. Able Sewerage came out on March 4, 2013 and found the sewer lines from my house had collapsed. They gave me an estimate of $2100 to do the work which included: (1) Breaking up the concrete sidewalk (2) digging up the ground down to the sewer pipes (3) installing new sewer pipes (4) called the City Inspector out to inspect and insure installation was up to city standards. Also while the City Inspector was there they put a camera in the sewer lines to may sure there were no damage to sewer line out to the city main sewer line (5) rodded out the lines one last time (6) covered the sewer lines back up with dirt (7) replaced broken up sidewalk with new sidewalk. On March 8, 2013 Able Sewerage came out at 8am as promised and did all the work exactly as stated above. They did a fantastic job. I highly recommend them. "
"They were very thorough, prompt, professional, but it took me 6 weeks to get the appointment despite the fact that we have young kids, were concerned about mold forming under our tiles, and had water dripping down our walls. They said they would give me an "emergency priority"- how long do the people have to wait who don't have emergencies?! Wow. The quote was a little higher than others, but was more thorough. They did not really explain that we would have to remove the washer, dryer, and bathroom (shower, toilet, vanity) for them to install the drain tile, then replace them all. We decided it was just too expensive and had the cracks sealed instead. So far no leaking, but our fingers are crossed for spring."
"Anthony and the crew at â Pitch Perfectâ has done an amazing job on multiple projects in our home. Everything from a new well tank and a complete water filtration system with a polisher and softener to a new A/C condenser and A-coil. He has done multiple smaller jobs also including toilet install and rodding of all the lines in our home along with overall seasonal maintenance on our furnace and AC units.. Whenever I call Anthony he is here in a timely manner, always considerate, professional, and clean! He has been our â go toâ plumber/HVAC guy for years and I donâ t see us using anyone else ever again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! FIVE STARS!"
"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."
Yes, a toilet, sink, and shower can share the same vent. This is a common plumbing practice that can simplify installation and save space. When sharing a vent, it's important that the toilet is located downstream from all other fixtures. You will also need to ensure the vent pipe is large enough to handle the demands of all connected fixtures without compromising its effectiveness. Because requirements can vary, you should always check your local building and plumbing codes. Consulting a qualified plumber is recommended to ensure the vent is properly sized, installed, and adheres to all local regulations.
Toilet handles can get stuck for a couple of reasons, but it’s commonly an issue with the chain. Remove the lid and check the chain’s connection, running from the flapper to the handle arm. Sometimes the chain gets snagged on or against another part of the tank.
The chain might not have the right tension. For example, a chain that’s too short can make the handle feel stuck. Check that there’s some slack in the chain. Old, worn-out flappers can get stuck, too. In this case, you’ll need to see which size toilet flapper you need.
If a toilet is not properly vented, you could experience issues like poor drainage, slow flushing, frequent clogs, malfunctioning traps, gurgling noises, and the release of sewer gasses. If left untreated, all of these issues could lead to longer term structural damage or (in the case of sewer gasses) harmful health side effects.
The most practical and common setup is a toilet that connects with the sewer line or a septic tank. However, it is possible to install a toilet without a sewer line, and this can be particularly helpful in basements with no or outdated plumbing. An increasingly popular option is an environmentally friendly composting toilet. Other waterless options include incinerating or dry flush toilets, which pull the waste into an airtight container.
Many homeowners stress about cleaning before an emergency plumber arrives, but you’re far better off doing the following while you wait for your plumber to get to your home:
Shut the water off at your water main if you have a leak or a burst pipe
Avoid using any water fixtures in your home, including appliances
Clear a path to the problem area so that it’s easily accessible
Consider shutting your breaker if you’re concerned that the leak may affect your electrical system
