"The plumber has worked in plumbing for 17 years and he definitely knows what he is doing. Very friendly, knowledgeable company. I give White River Plumbing my highest recommendation."
"We had an amazing experience with Superior Bath System. They came in and got everything taken care of without any hassle. The vanity we got is absolutely perfect and the top is a beautiful piece. Thank you guys for helping out with my project!"
"Showed up daily (Mon-Fri) until completion of the basement remodeling, adding in framing, electrical, drywall, plumbing and finished a full bathroom in its entirety. Rob is attentive to details and will look to finish a project until you are satisfied."
"Hoosier drain is a great company with very reasonable prices! We lost our pressure due to an old pump, and when it couldn’t be replaced they worked fast to get our new well drilled. Hoosier drain even provided us with a temporary fix by dropping a new pump on our old pump until they were able to get drillers out with no extra charge. We were given estimates day 1 and had no surprises at all on the cost. Dave and his team (Matt, Baylon, Damon and more), were very educated and made sure to explain everything clearly so we understood each step and could make educated decisions on how to proceed. They used a third party for drilling, yet still helped fill the holes the drilling truck made- again without even being asked. They also brought out tools to the drilling company to trim the trees so that we could get the new well drilled asap. Super thankful we utilized this company and would recommend them again and again! Dave personally was made available anytime as well. 10/10"
"We had to have some jack hammering done, due to improperly instaled plumbing by our home builders. When they were finished the place was amazingly clean. They were punctual and remarkably quick."
"We hired Fourman's Painting and Renovations to renovate and updated my 1949 bathroom which included removing the original tub and installing new walk in shower, toilet and vanity sink. What should have been a fairly straight forward job turned into every homeowners nightmare!!! Curt found that the bathtub had been draining into the crawlspace due to original pipes corroded and broken. While we dealt with our plumber removing old pipes and installing all new pvc pipes and the clean up of our crawlspace, he waited patiently until he could finish his job. Curt is very hardworking, dependable and extremely easy to work with, which is very hard to find anymore! Finally after 7 weeks, I have the bathroom I have always wanted!"
It is generally recommended to schedule a professional plumbing inspection annually, though an inspection every two years may be sufficient for newer homes. The ideal frequency depends on several factors, including the age of your plumbing system, water quality (such as hardness), and any previous plumbing issues. More frequent checks are advisable for older homes or those with a history of problems. Additionally, if your property has mature trees with extensive root systems, more frequent inspections are beneficial as roots can crack sewer and water lines. Regular maintenance helps identify potential issues early, preventing costly repairs, and can include checking for leaks, inspecting connections, and ensuring pipes and fixtures are in good working condition to prolong the life of your plumbing system.
A water pressure regulator, also known as a pressure-reducing valve (PRV), is typically located near the main water shut-off valve where the main water line enters your home. Common places to check are basements, utility areas, or outside near the water meter. The device is usually bell-shaped. Its purpose is to control the water pressure coming into your home from the public supply, protecting your pipes, plumbing fixtures, and appliances. If you can't find a regulator, your home might not have one. In cases of high water pressure, installing a PRV is recommended.
It’s sometimes difficult to distinguish a clog from a frozen drainpipe since ice technically causes a clog. If the temperature doesn’t tip you off, there are a few additional signs that your pipe is frozen. Look for condensation and frost around the pipes. Ice in pipes can cause a banging or clanking noise as opposed to a clog from a softer material.
No, you should avoid using liquid drain cleaners. These chemicals, often packed with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, can wreak havoc on your pipes, causing erosion and potential leaks. They’re also dangerous to your health. If you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, manual removal or a professional plumber is your best bet. Chemical drain cleaners can often make things worse, especially if the clog stays put and the chemicals linger in your pipes.
Hawaii is currently rated as the most expensive state for utilities. How much are utilities for a house in Hawaii? With electricity costs in Hawaii totaling nearly 42 cents per kilowatt-hour, residents are paying more to run their households than any other residents. Electricity costs in Hawaii are so high, mostly due to the fact that most of the electricity available to residents is produced using oil that must be shipped in from other places.
