"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."

Plumbing FAQs, answered by experts

PEX pipes can freeze. While they are less likely to burst than rigid pipes like copper or galvanized steel, it is still possible. PEX is flexible and can expand as water freezes and contract as it thaws. However, this expansion can cause leaks around the pipe's connections. Furthermore, frequent freezing and thawing cycles can stress and weaken the material over time, increasing the risk of a future burst. Therefore, even though PEX is freeze-resistant, it is not freeze-proof, and standard insulation precautions are still recommended to prevent freezing.

The best way to unclog a bathtub drain is to pour a pot of boiled water down the drain, being careful not to splash yourself. However, take precautions, as boiling water can damage PVC pipes and joints. Follow up with ½ cup of baking soda and ½ cup of vinegar. Cover the drain with a small sink plunger and let it sit for 15 minutes. Pour boiling water down the drain again and replace the drain stopper.

An outdoor water valve typically has a round or oval handle that you can turn to control the water flow. It may be located in a protective box or pit near the property line, where the main water line connects to your house.

Sprinkler pipes can leak for various reasons, including physical damage from being stepped on or punctured by garden tools. Systemic issues can also be the cause, such as broken or damaged O-rings and connections. Leaks may also occur if the pipes were not installed correctly or if the above-ground valves have failed.

Your dishwasher drains through a hose that attaches to the plumbing below your sink or snakes out the back of your machine. In most cases, you can access one side of the hose from below your sink, as it usually ties into the same drainline that your sink uses. Otherwise, you may need to pull the dishwasher out of the counter to access it.
