"I had a water leak over the weekend and TMI was the only company that answered and found an on-call plumber that would be able to come out within 1 hour! The plumber, Juan was INCREDIBLE! He was professional, knowledgeable, and helpful! I have never used a plumber prior to this past weekend and moving forward I will DEFINITELY be using TMI!"

Bath Fitter provides custom bath and shower remodeling solutions that help homeowners update bathrooms with less mess, downtime, and disruption than a traditional renovation. Its services include bathtub liners, shower replacements, tub-to-shower conversions, walk-in and low-threshold showers, wall systems, doors, fixtures, grab bars, seats, and safety accessories. Each system is measured and custom-made to fit the existing space, often allowing installation in as little as one day. Durable acrylic surfaces are designed to be watertight, grout-free, easy to clean, and available in a range of styles. Bath Fitter is especially useful for homeowners who want a safer, more accessible, and more modern bathing space without a full bathroom remodel. Options like slip-resistant bases, handheld showerheads, seating, and ADA-compliant grab bars can improve comfort and confidence for everyday use, mobility needs, or aging in place.

"Huge thank you to Hains Plumbing and Drain Service in Coshocton. We had leaking pipes and toilet issues with only one bathroom in the house, so we were definitely stressed and in a bind. From the first call, everyone was friendly, professional, and helpful. They scheduled us quickly, confirmed everything, and even let us know who would be arriving and when. Our technician arrived earlier than expected, which was a huge help. He was polite, respectful of our home and cats, explained everything clearly, and took the time to answer our questions. You can tell he genuinely cares about doing the job right. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was fixed properly and even gave helpful advice to avoid future issues. The repair was completed in less than a couple of hours and the pricing was very reasonable. I’m truly grateful for the fast response and excellent service. Highly recommend this company."

Affordable Plumbers FAQs, answered by experts

The lifespan of insulation depends on the material type. Fiberglass can last between 80 and 100 years, but it is important to start checking it around the 15-year mark. Spray foam has a lifespan of up to 100 years, and mineral wool can last up to 100 years. Cellulose, an eco-friendly option, has a lifespan of 20 to 30 years.

You need a pipe threader tool to thread a pipe. This speciality plumbing tool comes with various size die heads to suit different sizes of pipe. The teeth inside the die heads cut through the pipe as you ratchet the die head. You can purchase a pipe threader set or rent one.

Whether a DIY fix is safe depends on your knowledge and experience in plumbing and appliance repair. If you have the necessary skills, follow safety precautions, and consult the user manual, it can certainly be done safely. However, if you're unsure or lack experience, you should consult a professional plumber, appliance technician, or sewer repair company near you to avoid potential accidents, further damage, or plumbing issues.

To measure pipe size, you can use a ruler, a soft tape measure, or a caliper. You can find a special pipe caliper that has iron or copper pipe sizes already marked. Rulers work if the end of the pipe is exposed. If your pipe is still attached to the plumbing, you’ll need to go for a soft tape measure or caliper.

Toilets typically connect to your main vent stack, a vertical pipe that runs through all finished levels of your home and exits through the roof. It’s located behind the walls, but if you have an unfinished basement or a utility closet, you may find a portion of it running the vertical length of the space. Some basement toilets use an air admittance valve instead, which is a small vent located in the wall directly behind the toilet that extends upward a few feet from the drain.
