"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"

"Great sales and honest woman owned! Loved the outcome and they were very understanding when I had to push the project out due to the death in the family and my responsibility for expenses. Tammy is wonderful and her crew knows what they are doing. I have contracted her to upgrade the second bathroom also. Love the results of the master and cannot wait to see the 2nd bath remodel!"

Plumbing Handymen questions, answered by experts

You’ll only need to replace your sink’s pipes when you start to notice signs of wear like corrosion or leaking. Most pipes last somewhere between 20 and 100 years, depending on the material. Copper and cast iron can last up to 100 years. Galvanized steel and brass generally have a 50-year lifespan. PVC pipes last 25 to 40 years.

Shut-off valves, like any other piece of metal hardware, can corrode, age, get worn down, and eventually break or rust into place. Occasionally spray your shut-off valve with WD-40 to stall it from rusting. If it really gets stuck, a wrench and WD-40 will usually do the trick, but you will need to call a plumber if it’s completely unmovable.

The best option is to alter the plumbing. Moving and centering the drain pipe behind the sink usually does the trick and creates the sleek, minimalist look that pedestal sinks offer. If you don’t want to do any plumbing work, there are a few decorating hacks:

  • Painting the pipes

  • Placing shelves, plants, or baskets in front of the pipes

  • Adding a sink skirt 

While you can complete this task if you have some DIY knowledge, it is recommended that you hire a plumber to ensure that the work is done correctly and safely. This is especially true if a new water line needs to by installed from scratch, as this process requires cutting into pipes or walls.

Yes, frozen underground pipes can burst. When water inside the pipe freezes, it expands, increasing pressure on the pipe walls. If the pressure becomes too great, it can cause the pipe to crack or burst, leading to significant water damage when the ice eventually thaws.
