"Making It All Work" since 1976, Wm. Masters, Inc. has been providing quality service, at a timely manner and at competetive rates for all your plumbing, electrical, heating & air conditioning, and air duct cleaning needs.

"The plumber arrived 1/2 hour late after going to the wrong house. We ended up getting charged for this time. The plumber worked on the sink first. After I explained what the problem was and expressed concern it might be a venting problem, he got out the power auger and proceeded to auger the drain for about 20 minutes. He then said, "let's go to the basement and check the pipes. I hope I didn't put a hole in one of the pipes." Not exactly words to build confidence. He then said the problem was fixed. He said the toilet noise was due to a faulty valve. He did not have the part with him and had to go purchase it. After replacing the part, the noise was gone. Later that day, the noise returned, and I noticed the sink was backing up again. I called, and he came back out, augered the sink again, then said "it was some kind of venting problem." Really? He said he would give me the names of companies who dealt with that issue, but never followed up. He determined the toilet noise was coming from the assembly inside of the tank, and replaced that. The problem was solved, but the assembly has a very slow leak which causes the toilet tank to fill up at various intervals when we are not using it. In short, he misdiagnosed both problems and we essentially paid $270 for a $12 part that was not installed properly. We will not be using this company again."

I have been involved in trades since the early 1990's. I returned to college, at the age of 32, to earn a degree in trade sciences and received a B.S. in 2005. I am a Jack of all trades so to speak. if I look at a project and don't feel comfortable that I can do a professional job, I will gladly recommend someone that is qualified for free.

I can do a variety of projects at a very fair price. I am just a family man, trying to provide for his family. No project to big or small. I do everything from yard cleanup, junk cleanup, small remodel projects, painting, power washing, weed eating, sidewalk or driveway edging, etc.

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Your local town or municipality’s fire code and other applicable ordinances will set out the requirements for installing and maintaining a private fire hydrant. These rules can vary from place to place, so it’s crucial to consult with your town’s fire or code enforcement departments before you install a private hydrant on any property you own. Alternatively, you can hire a professional fire service consultant to help you interpret local laws and ensure you’re fully compliant with those requirements.

Different plumbing problems can cause your P-trap to leak. The biggest problems are loose nuts and misaligned pipes. Over time, your P-trap can leak due to the rush of water moving through the pipes, which in turn loosens the nuts and causes the pipes to fall out of alignment. Other problems include worn rubber O-rings and cracked pipes.

Outdoor plumbing issues are no less serious or urgent to fix than interior plumbing problems. These problems may require excavation and lawn repair due to the plumbing often being buried underground. The most common outside plumbing problems include:

  • Clogged landscape drainage: $200–$1,000

  • Clogged sewer lines: $60–$250 per linear foot

  • Corroded or rusted pipes: $1,500–$15,000+

  • Leaking drain lines: $200–$1,000

  • Leaking water mains: $300–$4,000+

  • Septic system failure: $600–$3,000+

  • Tree roots in pipes: $200–$1,000

  • Well pump failure: $350–$1,500

In most cases, drain cleaners will not clear a clogged sewer line, and they’re likely to damage your plumbing. Sewer lines are several inches wide, meaning any material that clogs it will need to be large. Drain cleaner can work on small clogs, but it usually won’t clear a larger one in a sewer main. Drain cleaners can also easily damage and corrode your plumbing with prolonged contact, and a clog will keep the cleaner in contact with the pipes for an extended period. Hire a professional sewer cleaner instead for a safe fix.

Pop-up drains come in various sizes, including 1.25", 1.5" and 1.625". Choose a drain the same size or smaller than the hole in your sink.
