"We just moved from out of state and wanted to remodel the house we bought but didn’t know who to call! We were referred to Master Craft & Design and they transformed our house into a beautiful new forever home! From the initial phone call to the completion of the 5 months remodel project, Ed and his staff was always there for us! They are very professional, very detailed and listen to your needs and what you want. They explained everything very carefully and offered help when it was needed. I was totally impressed with their initial quote for the cost of the remodel. Everything was broken down by rooms with pricing for everything that was needed including materials. There were no surprises since it was so detailed. The only additions to the pricing was what we added or unforeseen issues that were found during the remodel. Ed has great resources for flooring, cabinets, countertops and other features you will need during the remodel. What can be a stressful time for some people, that wasn’t the case with Master Craft & Design.

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

In the best-case scenario, the pipe size is written on the side of the pipe. You’ll often find this with different types of plastic piping like PVC, PEX, or CPVC. For other types of pipes, you’ll have to measure. You can measure the outside circumference with a soft tape measure, then divide your measurement by pi. From there, you’ll have to use a conversion chart to get the nominal pipe size (the size you’d buy in the store).

If your well water smells like rotten eggs, it’s likely because of sulfur bacteria, which aren’t harmful. Though it’s often safe to drink, it can be incredibly unpleasant and may be hinting at a deeper issue with your well. Call in a well professional to test your water and inspect your well just to be safe.

Replacing a toilet takes two to four hours. Several factors, including the condition of the old toilet and flange, can impact the installation time. Inspect the flange for cracks, chips, or other signs of damage. You can reuse it and the bolts if they’re in good working order. If not, you’ll need to purchase an identical one and install it before attaching the toilet, which adds time. Be careful when moving the old and new toilets—they’re heavy, so it’s best to hire a pro to get the placement right.

If you try a drain snake and various DIY methods for unclogging drains to no avail, bring in a professional plumber to assess the situation. Also, if multiple drains in your home are backing up or you smell sewage, a visit from a plumber is best. You can expect your drain cleaning costs to fall around $250, and this can include an assessment of what’s caught in your plumbing and if there’s a larger, underlying problem. You should also consider calling a pro if you need to snake a toilet, as DIYing this could lead to a cracked fixture.

A sewer cleanout typically looks like a white or gray PVC pipe with a removable cap. It's often located either in your yard or basement, depending on your home's plumbing configuration. The cleanout pipe is designed to provide easy access to your sewer system for maintenance and inspections. It may be flush with the ground or slightly elevated, making it distinguishable from other pipes. When you remove the cap, you can access the sewer line directly or determine its direction, which can be helpful when you need to locate your sewer line from your house to the street.
