"My experience with Charlie was great. I accidentally drilled a hole in the gas line that feeds all appliances in our home on a Saturday morning when trying to drill in to hang a TV mount. I knew enough to immediate turn the gas off and call our gas company who came out quickly and locked my meter...this meant no gas to appliances (oven, hot water, dryer, heat, etc.) until it was fixed. I jumped on Angie's list to find someone close who may be able to work weekends, called several places, and left several voicemails.
Charlie was the only one to call back and came over to check out the issue within a couple hours on a Saturday. He looked at everything, provided me with some background info on what he'd need to do, and instructed me on what I could do to make the job go quickly when he returned in the morning. Charlie and Bernie came over Sunday morning and had the pipe repaired within 2 hours max. I was able to get the work inspected that same day and have our gas turned back on.
Charlie was friendly and thorough, and educated me on what he was doing throughout his work. Any time you need "emergency" service on a weekend it's going to be expensive, but I feel that Charlie's price for more than fair for the work done and the quickness in which he came out to fix our problem.
I plan to recommend Charlie to others in our townhouse community and suggest you give him a call for your next job.

"Cliff was amazing. I requested a Plumber and he was prompt at picking up my request. First time actually using Angi's list due to unforeseen circumstances, last minute but with Cliff's help we made it work. Cliff is very informative on what he was doing to get the job done and is very good at what he does. Cliff reassured me that everything would be alright after stressing about not being able to use my bathroom. He was both effective and efficient as well as professional. I will definitely request Cliff's service again if needed and recommend anyone to him in need of a good plumbing job. Thank you Cliff for all your help."

"Came out in very cold weather and worked on my busted sewer line, I watched him do the work and think he did the job quickly and correctly. I had a similar problem with a different sewer line two years ago and he was quicker and less expensive than the last plumber."

I had a few other plumbers out and they were not able to fix the problem but Patrick was able to fix it right away. He is very knowledgeable and is an expert in his field. I would 100% recommend him to anyone who is looking for a plumber."

Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts

The most common way to connect water to new land is to connect the property to the nearest public water supply by trenching new water lines. If public water is not available at your property, the safest way to access water for your home's plumbing is to have a well drilled.

Building codes don’t allow homeowners or businesses to run sewer pipes and water lines in the same trench for safety and environmental purposes. If the sewer line started leaking, it would risk contaminating the water supply to your house, which threatens the health of you and your family. These lines need to be in separate trenches and may need to be separated both horizontally by around 5 to 10 or more feet and vertically by 12 to 18 or more inches.

As far as plumbing goes, replacing a kitchen faucet is an entry-level project. That said, you may run into complications. If your faucet is incompatible with your countertop or you have to alter your plumbing, you may want to hire a pro.

Installing a drain pipe costs about $600, ranging from $150 to $2,000, depending on the type of drain, accessibility, proximity to drain lines, and whether you’re installing new drain pipes or replacing old ones. Replacing a main drain line can cost over $2,000, whereas replacing a p-trap costs around $150 on average. Keep in mind that new water pipe installation projects are bid by fixture, like kitchen sink, toilet, or main water line. You can expect to pay $70 to $1,000 per fixture.

Yes, you should always call a plumber to replace a pipe that you fixed with a temporary solution. Some temporary pipe leak solutions like pipe leak clamps can last for years and prevent further damage to your home, but eventually, they will fail, at which point you could be looking at more significant water damage and mold growth. Even if you suspect that your temporary solution will last a long time, always call a plumber for a permanent fix. Temporary solutions should be for minimizing damage and avoiding added charges for emergency plumbing services.
