"In January 2025, Cincinnati got 10+ inches of snow and, the temperature dropped and stayed in the single digits for weeks. A pipe froze and burst in our garage and we were forced to call a plumber. Brandon of G3 Plumbing promptly responded to our referred, emergency call. He fit us into his busy schedule and provided reasonable options for repairs. He was approachable, honest, professional, straight-forward, reasonably priced, and he cleaned up afterward! It was a relief to find someone who didn't try to take advantage of our situation, showed up on time and worked quickly. G3 is now the only plumber we'll use and refer to others with confidence. These are rare qualities when one must hire service providers in today's society of bad actors. Brandon has skills and integrity!"

"We needed to check our water heater for leaks prior to closing the sale of our house.Joe Lay were out installing a new water heater and expansion tank the next day. The technician explained how all the components were supposed to work before checking everything so we both knew we needed a new tank as well. Outstanding, professional company. Billy was very respectful, knowledgeable and professional the entire time in our home. We would highly recommend Joe Lay and Sons for any plumbing needs."

"Fast, professional and reliable team that made sure my family was taken care of when our water heater decided to quit in the middle of the winter. The team memeber that did the install was highly knowledgeable and gave us several options and didn't feel like he was just trying to take advantage of us. Will definitely be recommending maximum plumbing to my friends and family for their plumbing needs in the future"

"I was very upset with this company as they did not fix my problem or diagnose it correctly. They then sent the same plumber out for a second time and the problem was not resolved. I posted my disappointment on Home Advisor. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing then sent a master plumber who found the problem and corrected it at no additional expense. I am now very please and would recommend them as they were not satisfied until we were satisfied."

"Not that anyone ever relishes the thought of needing a plumber, but my first experience using Topshell convinced me that it is the only company I will even consider calling when a future plumbing need arises. Price for the immediate problem was extremely reasonable and Noah went far beyond the call of duty In assisting on a secondary issue at no additional charge. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, patient in explaining things until they were completely understood, and meticulous about caring for my home. A truly unbelievable experience. Highly recommend this company. First time in my life I have ever tipped a plumber!"

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Before the widespread use of PVC, affixing a ground wire to plumbing pipes was generally considered to be an acceptable workaround. Nowadays, not so much. There are plenty of nonmetallic water pipes and fittings out there, so any ground previously provided by the metallic piping would be interrupted in these cases, which is dangerous.

Snakes can occasionally enter homes through shower drains, although it’s quite rare. This can happen when they follow sewer pipes or accidentally find their way into plumbing systems. To minimize the risk, consider installing drain covers or stoppers on your shower drains. Always keep drains closed when they’re not in use, especially in areas where snakes are known to be active.

How much it will cost to install an earthquake shut-off valve depends on who’s doing the installation. The price of the earthquake shut-off valve itself can cost between $250 and $750, and you’ll pay between $150 and $200 for labor if you hire a licensed plumbing contractor. If you install the valve yourself, you’ll save on labor, but you might need to spend $50 to $300 on the right tools for the job (and it’s a complex job that we don’t recommend DIYing).

Most toilets have a 12-inch rough-in or hole, but some have 10- or 14-inch holes, which means that not all toilets fit all setups. Knowing how to measure the rough-in is essential, so you purchase a toilet that fits the existing drain hole. It can be costly to have the rough-in moved, and most stores don’t accept toilet returns.

Yes, you can fix pipe threads. In fact, the process is the same as cutting new ones. You’ll need to use a pipe threader tool with the proper size die head for the pipe. Turning the threader over the damaged threads will clean up any damaged or worn-out threads in the pipe. If the pipe threads are too damaged, this process may not work, and you’ll need to replace the pipe.
