"There are two properties attached together with absolutely no drainage to the sewer and Kyle Irvin came in and commandeered the entire situation. We had a previous plumbers here and they did not solve the problem, but they were very expensive and Kyle was very considerate of the charges and brought in the best of the best to get the job done! Kyle gets 10 stars because he had excellent customer service skills and was very communicative and helped us tremendously. We wish we would’ve gone with Kyle first. His knowledge and experience were top-notch! This was a $15,000 job and Kyle navigated it to be a $10,000 job! We will call Kyle on every new need that we have and we own 10 properties! Irvin Plumbing was a godsend"

Plumbing Handymen questions, answered by experts

The most common way to connect water to new land is to connect the property to the nearest public water supply by trenching new water lines. If public water is not available at your property, the safest way to access water for your home's plumbing is to have a well drilled.

While the drain connection for a garbage disposal is nearly universal and fits standard sink drain holes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, the size of the disposal unit itself is not. You must have enough space in the cabinet underneath your sink to accommodate the disposal's housing. A larger model may not fit in a compact cabinet or if the existing plumbing is arranged in an unusual way. Before buying a new garbage disposal, measure the available space under your sink. If you are replacing an old unit, it's often easiest to choose a new model of a similar size.

If your toilet is still leaking after replacing the toilet flapper, then you may not have installed the toilet flapper correctly. Double-check that you have placed the flapper over the overflow tube correctly, and check the flapper chain is at the right length. If your toilet is still leaking, then you may have another problem on hand. For example, you may need to replace the toilet wax ring or replace the toilet fill valve if your toilet is wobbly and leaking from around the base.

Most of the time, homeowners are responsible for replacing a main water shut-off valve. This is because the property owner also owns the water service line from the shut-off valve near their property line to their house. That means they must maintain, repair, or replace it when needed.

Most plumbers are available to make emergency house calls on Thanksgiving, but be sure to check their availability before making a service request. Since it’s a holiday, you can expect to pay additional fees for their time and labor. Plus, you should consider tipping your plumbing professionals extra for working on your pipes during a holiday.
