"Jeff showed up on time and cleared our kitchen sink within an hour. He was communicative the entire time - from letting us know he was en route to explaining the problem as he was fixing it. Friendly, professional, nice guy. Highly recommend hiring him for your plumbing needs!"

"The plumbers who came out were kind, clean and efficient. Sean, Ryan and Orin, made sure we were kept in the loop and cleaned up after themselves beyond any other vendor we have had. They made the process much easier, answered all our questions while on site and were enjoyable to chat with! Unfortunately, the office, has poor communication. We had to call many times, and were constantly told we would receive a call back and we didn't. A day+ would go by before we would have to call again. This was after signing a quote. The women who I spoke with more, was not pleasant. She provided misinformation on the work process, and seemed annoyed at our questions. Having to plan a day to shut down a business in the childcare field requires planning for the sake of our families, and we did not feel like this was easy to do with the lack of help from the office administrator. At this time, we would not recommend to other businesses in our field. Unfortunate, because the plumbers are great."

"When they said they could do a complete bathroom makeover (demo everything to the studs and floor joists, including removing an old cast iron tub) I was skeptical. But wow! These guys came in and killed themselves! Total demo took one day. There were a couple of bumps in the road due to some miscommunication, but their Customer Service is excellent and any issue we had was handled immediately to our satisfaction. I only gave 4.5 stars for the quality of work because the guy that did the mud work didn't seem to take too much pride in his work. I spend 4 hours correcting what he did (but I'm also super picky). I have to give a special shout out to one gentleman, Benho, who was absolutely amazing with the work he did (flooring and walls, toilet and vanity install), very meticulous work. They cleaned up after themselves at the end of each day so you didn't even know they were there. We now have an awesome new bathroom with a walk in shower and I couldn't be happier. I would definitely hire this company again and would recommend them to anyone."

"I cannot believe the amazing job All Work was able to accomplish. Our bathroom was very old, very dated and we had a plumbing problem that forced us into the remodel. I had several estimates but was not impressed with the enthusias of the contractors. When Vlad came out, with samples in hand, I was able to picture what could be done! My family came down with Covid in the middle of all this and Vlad was so understanding. Each and every worker that came to our home worked harder than I have ever seen. From start to finish this has gone so beautifully. Please do not hesitate to meet and Vlad and let him share his vision with you. You will not be sorry, Especially in a day and age when many companies will do a very sub standard job, with sub par materials. I am over the moon with this bathroom...."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Schrader valves are also commonly known as American valves or simply car valves since they're often used in tires for bicycles and motor vehicles. The valve gets its name from the company that created it, the Schrader company, following its invention in 1891. It was later patented in the U.S. in 1893.

You should flush your water heater at least once a year, with some experts recommending a schedule of every six to 12 months (e.g., once in the spring and fall). The ideal frequency depends on several factors.

If your area has hard water with high mineral concentrations, you should flush the heater more often—typically every four to six months. Additionally, a water heater that is used frequently may require more frequent flushing than one that is used less often.

Regular flushing is important because it removes sediment buildup from the bottom of the tank. This maintenance helps improve the heater's efficiency, extend its lifespan, and prevent issues like clogs, overheating, and increased energy consumption. You can either learn to perform this task yourself or arrange for a service plan with a professional plumber.

A pipe burst will cause a portion of the water flowing into your home to escape through the damaged area, but some water is still likely to flow to your plumbing fixtures. If you’re noticing reduced water pressure or the slow flow of water from your sinks, you might have a burst pipe on your hands, especially if the weather is particularly cold outside. When in doubt, call in a plumber to inspect your system and check for leaks.

You’ll need two sizes of pipe to plumb a bathroom. You’ll use a 1/2-inch pressure pipe for your supply lines that run from the fixture to the larger 3/4-inch supply lines that run through the house. For drain lines, you’ll need a 3-inch PVC pipe for your toilet, a 2-inch PVC pipe for stand-alone showers, and a 1 1/2-inch pipe for a shower/tub combo and the bathroom sink. Each fixture’s drain will run to the 3-inch main drain that runs through the house.

Removing calcium and lime buildup will often fix a clogged faucet head. You can usually remove any buildup with distilled white vinegar or a combination of vinegar, dish soap, and baking soda. Sometimes, the problem is buildup on the aerator, in which case removing and cleaning that part should fix your water flow. However, the design of some aerators makes them difficult to clean. For those, replacing the aerator will get the faucet flowing well again.
