"IF...youre having a problem or just updating fixtures, Big Wrench Plumbers are the folks to call. They arrived on time. They will access the problem correctly and professionally get it done. They were professional and proficient without being too chatty. They came prepared with shoe covers which is important in my house and did a great job of cleaning up behind themselves too. Any problem or projects I have going forward will be a job for Big Wrench Plumbers. My wife loves her new toilet and faucet. Thanks Cam. Thanks Andre."

"If you are ever in need of a fantastic sewer/drain/plumbing company, you should absolutely contact Flo-Maxx!! As a first time homeowner, I unexpectedly walked into a laundry list of issues. After having one company tell me I was a low priority, Flo-Maxx came to my rescue and from the first phone call they were a joy to work with. Every job they worked on they were prompt, communicative, courteous and honest. They put up with my 10,000 questions and always treated me with respect (rather than just as an unknowledgeable girl). They are not the cheapest option out there, but they are far more reasonable than the bigger/impersonal companies. Add to it that they truly take pride in their work, with Flo-Maxx you happily get more than what you pay for. Due to the number of issues this old house had I probably know Joe and his team better than I know my neighbors. Boss Man Joe, Martin, Kevin, Hassan, Mario, Elias, Felix, David and Luis were all a delight to work with. It didn't matter if it was sunny/60, thunderstorms, or snowing; weekday or weekend, they always showed up with a great attitude and ready to help. Special props to Martha too for being the gate keeper of it all and answering my many phone calls. Long story short, I will hands-down always recommend Flo-Maxx Sewer and Drain. Stop wasting time reading other reviews... just call them now. List of work done (so far) - Hydrojet to clear sewer back-up (twice), fixed leaking drain in laundry sink, replaced water heater & expansion tank, replaced ancient flood control system with lift station"

"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."

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 FAQs, answered by experts

Many plumbers include removing and disposing of the old toilet as part of their service package. However, it’s best to ask before signing a contract, as removal isn’t guaranteed. If the plumber doesn’t take the old toilet, you have several options, including donation, recycling, junk removal, and bulk waste services..

You may not be able to prevent water spots on your black faucet, but the good news is that you can quickly wipe away water spots, fingerprints, smudges, and smears with a damp cloth. The best practice is to get in the habit of wiping the black faucet daily to prevent any mineral buildup or hard water stains.

Hoses can constrict over time. If water isn't coming out of your garden hose, it might be clogged by dirt, rocks, insect nests, and other debris that can find its way in there. If the weather's been cooler lately, water can freeze inside hoses and create clogs when it doesn't melt fast enough. If the water is hard where you live, minerals can build up in the hose and constrict it further.

Adding another bathroom isn’t the most complicated project you can undertake, but it’s in the top 5%. Anything involving plumbing and electrical work should be handed off to a pro, and adding a half bath involves both. A contractor may charge $70 to $120 an hour for labor, but chances are they can work much faster and more accurately than a DIYer.

Adding a shower to a half bath transforms it into a three-quarter bath. Compared to converting a half bath into a full bath, this type of conversion is a more affordable way to add functionality and accessibility. This project can add around 5% to 6% to the value of your home, especially if you only have one full bathroom or your only shower is on an upper level. This is a common upgrade for a ground floor when homeowners are hoping to age in place.
