"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."
The cost to install a new toilet typically runs from $225 to $530. This doesn’t include the price of the toilet itself, which can cost $90 to $1,500 depending on the model and features you choose. You can save money if you choose to install a toilet yourself. However, you might want to hire a pro for this project.
"Due to the many complexities of replacing a toilet flange, it is typically a job best left to the pros," says Jeff Botelho, Angi Expert Review Board member and plumber. "Many times it isn't as simple and straightforward as 'pop off the old one and pop on a new one' because the flange is either glued on (PVC/ABS), soldered on (brass/copper), or caulked in place with a lead & oakum joint (cast iron) and none of these things can be easily reversed without years of training and repetitive practice."
There are several ways to save money on a bathroom remodel through proper planning and savvy design strategies. To reduce costs, consider the following:
Purchase your own materials: Buy your own bathroom fixtures, hardware, and other materials to avoid contractor upcharges and delivery fees.
Shop smart for big-ticket items: Save on pricey items like tiles and tubs by shopping sales and at discount stores.
Avoid major layout changes: Keep plumbing in its current location. Opt to replace fixtures rather than moving them to avoid significant renovation work.
Focus on high-impact, low-cost updates: Make affordable but impactful smaller changes, such as upgrading hardware, installing new lighting, and adding stylish but economical accessories.
DIY where possible: Handle easier parts of the remodel yourself, like painting or installing light fixtures, to save on labor costs.
Time your remodel strategically: Consider remodeling in the spring, which tends to be a lower-demand time of year and may result in lower costs.
The average cost to replace a toilet fill valve is around $100, and prices range from $50 up to $150, depending on your location, the experience of the plumber, and how accessible your toilet is. In most cases, a professional plumber can replace your fill valve in under an hour, although it might take longer if they also need to fix or replace other components at the same time.
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.
Adding a half bathroom can be worth it for two reasons: you want to increase the livability of your home and increase its value. While a value increase is more likely for a smaller home than a larger one, smaller houses with a large number of occupants can see a drastic increase in the ease and flow of daily life with the addition of a half bathroom.
