"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!"

"I used Tin Lizzee to diagnosis my refrigerator. John S. was very knowledgeable and helpful in diagnosing the problem. Lucky for us it was a minor repair. This is a wonderful service that was quick and efficient and affordable. Unlike the other place that I called that wanted to charge me $89-129 for a diagnostic and could not come out until about 2 weeks later. I definitely will use Tin Lizzee again for future appliance issues. I will tell all my friends and family about this service also. Thank you John S and Tin Lizzee for such wonderful customer service."

"We couldn't be more pleased with Indiana Foundation Service! After living in our home for many years we finally have sump pumps and a drain in our crawlspace with a new vapor barrier. The crawlspace was always wet in the spring with a musty smell that transmitted to the living space. While we would have preferred an encapsulation the cost was more than we were comfortable with. Jamie Montgomery, Raymond Martin, and Jeremy Pyles were excellent! They arrived on time, went to work immediately, protected the interior of our home and cleaned up completely afterwards. The whole process was most professional, from the initial call to Aaron Ewert, salesperson. Everything was like clock work. Highly recommend Indiana Foundation Service!"

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."

"Provider was prompt, professional and friendly.  Arrived at the agreed upon time for a free estimate and performed work same-day after we agreed to the price.  He stuck to the price despite taking longer than expected and more work than usual due to worn-rusted pipes in my home.  Cleaned-up after himself and left no sign that work was done other than our new, working toilets.  We are very pleased and reccomend McDonagh & Sons Plumbing & Sewer Inc.

Affordable Plumbers FAQs, answered by experts

If nothing is coming out of your faucet, you could have frozen pipes, a clogged faucet, or your water supply could be shut off. First, check your shut-off valves. If it's a hot sunny day, you can rule out frozen pipes and look closer at your aerator for signs of mineral deposits. Removing the aerator and cleaning it out can often return water flow. If temperatures are below freezing, you may have frozen pipes. Knowing what to do when pipes freeze is essential for thawing your pipes and preventing them from bursting.

The average cost to replace a toilet fill valve is around $100, and prices range from $50 up to $150, depending on your location, the experience of the plumber, and how accessible your toilet is. In most cases, a professional plumber can replace your fill valve in under an hour, although it might take longer if they also need to fix or replace other components at the same time.

A plumber can get to the bottom of your smelly drain and clean it with specialized jets, hoses, and drain-safe cleaning solutions. It is also smart to call in a plumber if you suspect your drain smell is coming from a stubborn clog or even a leaky pipe.

Replacing a toilet costs between $275 and $480 in most cases, and the average cost sits around $375. This includes removing the old toilet and installing the new toilet. Your price could be significantly higher if you invest in a high-quality brand, need the replacement done on an emergency basis, or replace your toilet as a part of a larger bathroom remodel that demands additional work.

No, your toilet tank should not empty completely when you flush. Although the water level will dip a lot after you flush, it shouldn’t be totally empty. If your tank is empty, you might have issues with your fill valve, float ball, or toilet trip lever. You should check all of your toilet parts to ensure they’re working correctly and make any necessary adjustments.
