"Justin was amazing to work with and he used his skill to creat something unique. We used a 300 gallon pond as a filter for a 12,000 gallon pond. He used check valves to prevent back flow, adjustable valves to control the flow, and piping for aeration that requires only gravity to flow effectively."

"Bath Planet did an amazing job. The initial consult was great and I was walked through all my options. They provided thorough responses to my questions and I scheduled the work. The contractors were on time and did an amazing job. My bathroom went from bleh to amazing in 6 hours. I'd highly recommend this company, they know their stuff and even though it was more than I was hoping to pay, I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Worth every penny!"

"I spent about three weeks getting quotes because I had heard mixed things about basement waterproofing companies, including Everdry. I?ll be honest, they were not the cheapest option I looked at, and that gave me pause at first. What ultimately made the difference was how thorough the inspection was. The rep didn?t just look at one wall and give a price. They walked the entire perimeter, explained how water was getting in from both outside pressure and inside drainage, and showed me why a partial fix would likely fail over time. Other companies were quoting cheaper, but they were only addressing one part of the problem. I also want to address something I was worried about going in, which was the ?high-pressure sales? reputation you sometimes see online. That wasn?t my experience. It was definitely detailed and direct, but I never felt like I couldn?t take time to think about it or compare options."

"My installer John was fantastic. He did an amazing job and I am so pleased with his attention to detail and the way it all turned out. With my home being almost 100 years old nothing is plum or square. He was so caring and took his time and it came out beautifully. I am so glad John was my installer he is amazing."

"I bought a water heater. They first connected me with a plumbing company that tried to add on $270 for additional materials and labor costs that they could not justify. I returned the water heater, and they again connected me to Holthaus. Holthaus called later that same afternoon and scheduled for the next morning. Dan came out and installed the water heater and new stand in just an hour. He only charged $30 for additional materials related to new gas fittings. He was very polite, transparent, and thorough. I would highly recommend them."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

No, shower valves and cartridges are not universal. They must match and typically come from the same manufacturer. Mixing and matching different brands is unlikely to work and can cause issues like leaks or malfunctioning faucets. To find the correct replacement, check the old valve or cartridge for a brand name, model number, or serial number. If you cannot find this information, contact the manufacturer or check their website to determine which parts are compatible.

According to the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), the distance between your trap and the vent should be no more than 6 feet. For your vent to work properly, it needs to feed into the drain line within 6 feet of trapways that connect to it. Using this formula, you should be able to determine whether you will need multiple vent lines.

To bleed air from the pipes, start by turning off the main water supply. Then, starting with the faucet that’s closest to the water valve, open each of your faucets halfway, making sure to open both hot and cold options if they’re separate. This allows the air to escape the pipes. Once all faucets are open, turn your water supply back on and let the water run for 10 to 15 minutes until the faucets stop sputtering.

Common problems include leaks, clogs, and low water pressure. Regular maintenance prevents major disruptions.

Most gas stoves either have a shutoff valve inside the oven drawer compartment or behind the stove wall. Cooktop shutoff valves are usually inside the base cabinet, and wall ovens usually have a shutoff valve in the cabinet below or next to the unit. Construction regulations require installing a shutoff valve within six feet of the appliance. So, if you can’t find the valve on the appliance, look around the connecting gas pipes within the six-foot radius.
