Over 10 years, Billy Steffensen, ATR’s owner, has rendered plumbing services for several repairs and recently completed our first floor gut and renovation project, that included all kitchen and powder room plumbing.
He’s also replaced all outdated gate water valves, with quarter turn shut offs in basement. This included replacing the dreaded water main valve that was leaking. All valves are water tight, no failures, rock solid craftsmanship. I hate loose and leaky pipes and second rate shoddy work that fails over time - and so does Billy!
In short, couldn’t be more pleased with Billy Steffensen (owner / operator) and his wife Theresa (business and customer satisfaction manager).
Here is what you get when you hire ATR Plumbing:
. Prompt Arrival - Have had more than dozen plumbing appointments with Billy. He’s shown up at my home almost to the minute Theresa says he’s going to show up. Never a missed appointment, or late arrival. Not sure if this is the case with every other client, but from my viewpoint, Billy and his two other associates have an impeccable on time arrival record with me.
. Work Quality - Have NEVER had a botched pipe seam, or leak, or water damage from any of Billy’s work (or from John or Matt, Billy’s associates). 100% quality work. The man knows what he’s doing and so does his staff. He’s seen it all, done it all, anticipates possible problems and has solutions. I’m confident when Billy (or his associates) show up, I’ve got a qualified and reputable professional - and it’s done to municipality code - no jury-rigged short-cuts.
. Billy’s Accessibility - You’ll almost never reach Billy by phone. And that’s really good news for you. He focuses his time and attention completely on your project when he’s in your home, rather than answering calls and lining up his next project with another customer. He leaves most all phone calls to Theresa.
. Theresa’s Accessibility - During business hours, on the first call, you’ll always reach Billy’s wife and business partner, Theresa. And if you don’t get her immediately, I’ve always left a voice mail and received a call back within 15 minutes, my guess is you’ll find the same to be true. After business hours, she’s also highly responsive by email. She’s infinitely qualified, forever upbeat and will bend over backwards to accommodate reasonable (and not so reasonable) requests. If she doesn’t know the answer (which is rare) she’ll be back to you quickly (usually same day). She is 100% responsible for Billy’s scheduling, so he’s focused on getting your job done with the highest level of satisfaction.
Pricing - You get what you pay for. Won’t be most expensive, won’t be least. You can be assured whatever you pay, the work is backed with an unparalleled track record. He’s at the top of his craft. You’d be hard pressed to find many other plumbing services that offers the combined customer satisfaction that Billy and Theresa Steffensen deliver - every time.
Bottom Line - Anybody asks me for a plumber referral, no hesitation, ATR Plumbing. Every time.

"What a rip off. Told me I bought junk fixtures, Tuscany, and quoted me $475 to change 2 "0" rings and two rubber washers in my own faucet and the youngster plumber told me it would last 10 years, the same as he said my cheap Tuscany would last. I paid $95 for that. RIP OFF COMPANY!"

Plumbing Handymen questions, answered by experts
The water supply lines run underneath the bathtub. These two pipes deliver cold and hot water to the bathtub—the cold water comes from the main water supply, and the hot water comes from the water heater. The pipes are made from copper, cream-colored plastic CPVC, or red and blue PEX tubing.
While you don’t have to run out and immediately buy a new toilet at the first sign of a clog, if the toilet keeps clogging because it’s a low-flow or poorly designed model, a new toilet may be the way to go. If your toilet keeps clogging, you can try using less toilet paper, adjusting the fill valve, checking the toilet vent pipe on the roof, and using a toilet auger to make sure nothing is stuck in the pipe or trap.
Repairing a bathroom leak costs an average of $280, but shower and tub leaks can cost up to $500, depending on the issue. Ongoing leaks behind or under your tub can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and hidden water damage in your bathroom, so if your leak has been going on for a while, you could pay several thousand dollars to remove the tub and address the damage underneath.
Sprinkler pipes can leak for all sorts of reasons, including damage like being accidentally stepped on or punctured by garden tools. Systemic reasons can also be to blame, like broken or damaged O-rings and connections. Your sprinkler pipes might also leak if they weren’t properly installed in the first place or if the above-ground valves have gone bad.
Replacing a shower drain P-trap costs $150 to $250 for parts and labor. Costs increase to $350 or more if your shower drain assembly is difficult to access or requires more work (like replacing pipes and fittings). If you’re a knowledgeable DIYer, a new P-trap costs $10 to $45.
