Before: our crawlspace was damp, had mice raceways on drain lines, as well as various insect nests. After: the crawlspace is drier (wood is still drying out) and there are no access points for unwanted visitors. We encapsulated our crawlspace because our home has extraordinarily high energy consumption. With very cold floors this past winter it seemed likely that a large part of the problem was the vented crawlspace. Recent studies suggest a conditioned crawlspace is more energy efficient winter and summer and can lead to healthier indoor air. We were researching crawlspace encapsulation techniques and companies when we developed a large plumbing leak in our crawlspace. Mold was starting to grow on the wood near the leak. We decided to move up the crawlspace encapsulation project without 100% certainty we would recoup the cost in energy savings. We thought it couldn't hurt and at least we could dry out the crawlspace and stop any mold. We called Patrick and requested his advice. Very pleasantly surprised at his professionalism, depth of knowledge and training in crawlspace encapsulation technology as well as mold remediation. Patrick came out for a site visit and put in concrete terms what we had learned about this technology. He identified more leaking pipes, a dryer vent with a hole that was pumping humid air into the crawlspace, poorly draining gutters and downspouts, sweating lines that were keeping insulation wet, lot's of mouse foot prints (we had been catching them in the kitchen) and he reviewed possible changes. Low-key, fact based, no pressure. He knows what he's doing. We hired Patrick and his team to do the work. Hard working, polite, up beat. Courteous and helpful. A pleasure to have them on the property. The end result surpasses our expectations. Clean, dry and getting dryer. Cold floors are now warmer. (Energy savings are likely but it will take time to tell what the impact is. Patrick, to his credit never claimed any savings. He indicated that some people report this but it's hard to make a definitive statement about any potential savings for a particular house.) Patrick and I inspected the finished results and now that the space is much brighter and cleaner (highly reflective white vapor barrier) a number of developing problems were easily observed. Our house is roughly six years old so our crawlspace before was in pretty decent shape, yet those developing problems confirmed that for us this was the right decision and right contractor. A job well done. Thank you CrawlSpace Doctor!

"I typically do not leave reviews, but my experience with Tom Drexler Plumbing was so poor that I feel compelled to share it in hopes of preventing others from wasting their time and money. I initially contacted the company to address a leaking faucet in a spare bathroom. I was given a vague appointment window of 8 AM to 5 PM and informed that if I didn’t answer a call prior to their arrival, the technician would not show up. When the technician arrived, he spent time criticizing the company’s hiring practices rather than focusing on the repair. He determined that a full tub and shower replacement was needed, quoting over $1,000. The work could not be done the same day, requiring me to schedule another appointment. The technician arrived late and took the entire day to complete the job, spending a significant portion of time sitting on my staircase visibly exhausted. The installation was subpar—both the faucet and showerhead were protruding nearly two inches from the wall, and the showerhead was visibly crooked. The faucet and showerhead were protruding so far out they couldn't even be caulked. My wife documented the issues with photos. She sent them to me after the tech left. I immediately called Tom Drexler, informed them of the subpar work, and requested a different technician to correct the poor workmanship. A new technician arrived the following week and made the necessary adjustments. However, within four days of using the shower, a leak developed in the ceiling of the kitchen below, and our toilet began leaking from the base when flushed—suggesting possible plumbing pressure or blockage issues. I contacted the company again and scheduled yet another appointment. Despite being given the same 8 AM to 5 PM time frame, no one showed up, and I had to follow up myself to learn the technician wasn’t coming. Eventually, another technician did visit and claimed the ceiling leak was due to "residual water" and dismissed the toilet issue. When the ceiling stain continued to grow, I called again and requested a supervisor. The supervisor came a week later, concluded that the issue wasn’t related to their work, and left without offering any solutions. Altogether, I had to take four days off work to accommodate this series of visits. I now need to hire another plumber from a different company to resolve the ongoing leak. Based on my experience, I cannot in good conscience recommend Tom Drexler Plumbing. The quality of work, communication, and overall customer service were consistently poor throughout the entire process."

FAQs for affordable plumbing projects in Stanford, KY
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
It’s possible to snake minor drain clogs yourself, provided they sit within a foot or two of the drain itself, but it’s usually best to hire a professional plumber regardless. Even experienced DIYers have a high chance of accidentally pushing the clog further into the drain using a drain snake or another tool, so hiring a plumber is the ideal course of action. A professional plumber can use camera equipment to locate and identify the clog, and remove the entire blockage to fix your issue permanently.
Typically, plumbing repairs cost about $325 per job but can range from $175 to $4,000 or more. Simple fixes, such as a toilet repair, will be less expensive at around $150 to $400. However, if you have a pipe that has burst, you can expect to pay between $1,000 and $4,000 or more.
The project that needs to be completed, the size of your home, and the type of plumbing pipes you have can all impact the final cost. External factors such as supply chain issues and shortage of materials all play a part in how much this repair might be.
The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
