"The people on the phone and the workers that worked at my house were fantastic. Damien and Ernest were the installer's top rate people. Jack, their license plumber was polite and funny. The only person we didn't care for was Keith He only stopped by to look at what was going on. He was a little rude to my wife and Made her feel Like she was second class in her own home. We Were very shocked by that. We would definitely recommend Jacuzzi to our friends."

"Expeditious Pro!!!!! From start to finish, Don replaced my old sump pump and installed a battery-powered backup within 24 hours of my initial contact through homeadvisor. Don and his crew did an excellent job and I felt they delivered great value for a great price. Peace of mind during Spring Showers...Priceless. Thanks Don!!! I will be hiring you again for ALL of my plumbing projects."

"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!"

"I purchased a house and the first time it rained, I found I had a river running through my basement. After reviewing a few companies, I decided on FRS. The crew that completed the work, Gary Duvall-Joe Putnam-Davaughn Williams, arrived on time and completed the project ahead of schedule. They were courteous, professional, and took the time to go over the system that was being installed. I couldn't have asked for a better crew for this job. They kept the area free of debris and left it looking cleaner then it was before they arrived. The end result looks better than I expected it to and I will ask to have them sent back for any other project that may arise in the future. I would recommend them, without a doubt, to everyone."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Yes, flushing a clogged toilet can make it overflow. While flushing the toilet may push enough pressure through the system to dislodge the clog, this is unlikely. Your best bet is to use a plunger and hope the suction can break up whatever is blocking the pipe. If this doesn’t work, use a plumbing auger or call a pro to help.

If you're connecting your gas line to appliances, the pro doing the work may recommend flexible corrugated stainless-steel tubing (CCST). Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is another relatively inexpensive material commonly used for residential pipes. Ultimately, you'll need to find out what is permitted based on the code requirements in your area.

A sewage ejector pump is necessary if you have any plumbing fixtures, such as a bathroom, laundry room, or sink, located below the level of your home's main sewer line. Standard plumbing relies on gravity to move wastewater and solid waste to the municipal sewer or septic tank. However, for fixtures located below grade (e.g., in a basement), gravity is not sufficient.

The purpose of a sewage ejector pump is to actively pump this wastewater and solid waste upward into the main sewer line. Without an ejector pump in this situation, wastewater would have no way to exit and would eventually back up, causing a sewage overflow or flooding in your basement. If all of your home's plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity can handle the drainage, and an ejector pump is not needed.

A two-way cleanout can help if there’s already a clog, but the best strategy to prevent one is by not rinsing grease, oil, or fat down your drains, not flushing or rinsing coffee grounds or egg shells down your drains, flushing only human waste and toilet paper (so no diapers, period products, bathroom wipes, or paper towels), and using drain guards on all of your drains.

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.
