"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.

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

If you notice your main water shut-off valve is leaking, try tightening the valve slightly to see if it stops the leak. If the leak persists or worsens, it’s best to contact a licensed plumber to assess and repair the valve. Using too much force or attempting a DIY repair can further damage the valve.

The cost to hire a plumber ranges from $175 to $450 for a simple job, with the average cost per hour ranging from $45 to $200. Depending on the job, some plumbers charge a flat rate or service fee of $300 on average. Expect to pay more for complex jobs and emergency plumbing repairs, but minor adjustments, diagnostics, and small repairs will cost less. 

Many plumbers offer pressure checks as a part of routine inspections, so if you’re already scheduling a plumbing service for another issue, it’s worth asking them to test your water pressure while they’re there.

Yes, you can technically use a utility knife or straight blade to cut through PEX pipe. However, this isn't an ideal method simply because you won't get the same clean cut that you'll get with a pipe cutter. A utility knife will likely create angles that weaken your push connections. If you use a utility knife, score the pipe with the knife along your marked line several times before making your final cut.

If you have the patience and help to install a kitchen sink, you can do it yourself. This DIY project works best when replacing a sink that fits the existing hole, and the fittings and plumbing are in good condition. If you're worried about the plumbing's condition or aren't sure how to shut the water and power off to the garbage disposal and dishwasher, it's best left to a sink installation pro.

Ever wonder what might cause your outdoor spigot to lose water flow? It's not as complicated as one might think. Something as simple as a clogged or leaky pipe could be the culprit. Some other causes are corrosion of the pipes or lack of water pressure coming from your street.
