"My bathroom was from 50 years ago, original to the house, I have a walk in ranch with concrete floors and radiant heat. The workmen did a fantastic job of taring down and remove the old cast iron tub, removed all the walls to expose the plumbing. I had to have a new drain installed and that needed the expertise of plumbers, after the new drain was installed in the concrete they came back and within one day the job was completed and it turned out fantastic. I am very very pleased with the work that Bath Plant did. I highly recommend them to anyone who would ask me."

"Discovered that our water heater died around 7 p.m. on a Wednesday night. Within minutes of my HomeAdvisor request, Glen called. We discussed options for repairing, replacing with the same unit, or replacing with a tankless system. Glen very patiently answered all of my questions, giving me confidence that we were making the right choice instead of just the easiest one. The next afternoon, we were back up and running and couldn't be happier with the service we received. We will definitely be calling Wagner Family Plumbing for any future plumbing needs."

"H was not able to diagnose problem. I’m all fairness, I had already replaced the water pump and the checked that there was no obstruction in the hose from the machine to the drainage pipe. There were problems with credit card transaction. Staff was very courteous and responsive."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

A journeyman plumber is a licensed plumber with a state-issued permit who installs and repairs piping for water and heating systems under the supervision of a master plumber. Also known as a plumbing contractor, a master plumber is considered the highest level in this profession. In addition to passing all state-level requirements, master plumbers have several years of experience. They are allowed to lead teams, create blueprints, and design and install plumbing systems.

Yes, you can fix a shower diverter in many cases, depending on the specific problem. If hard water buildup is the issue, you can disassemble and clean your diverter. You may also be able to replace specific components when they break or wear down. All diverters are different, so when replacing parts, you’ll need to make sure you purchase a repair kit that’s compatible with your specific model. 

Yes, the thawing process is often the reason frozen pipes burst in the first place. Though it may seem like the freezing itself causes a pipe to burst, it's actually the pressure that builds inside the pipes in your home that really contributes to the pipe bursting. As the ice melts, more pressure builds in the pipes. That pressure increases further if some of the water thaws only to refreeze.

Soldering is a secure way to fix a leaky copper pipe, but if you don’t have access to a soldering iron, you can use a slip repair coupling or compression couplings. These types of couplings tighten with a wrench or by hand. If you’re looking for a temporary solution that doesn’t require soldering, you can use epoxy putty or adhesive tape.

The first step to clearing the air in a line is to locate the cause. This is usually a blockage in either the drain or the venting system. Once you clear the issue, flush the system by actually flushing the toilets repeatedly. This should allow the trapped air to escape, thus clearing the lines. Don’t be surprised if there is increased bubbling as the air makes its way through the system.
