"Quick response and was able to come out right away. Very personable young man, made a few attempts to clear clog but he couldn't get to the trap. Gave me a few plumbers to call to try to help. Didn't charge me a crazy amount, was very fair. I would definitely recommend Jeff's Drains."

"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

The toilet should rest 10, 12, or 14 inches from the back wall. As for other clearances, 15 inches is the minimum distance from the flange to any side wall or nearby fixture, including the shower, tub, and sink. Modern codes also require at least 24 inches of clear space in front of the toilet.

Putting caulk around a toilet’s base where it touches the flooring can help hold the toilet in place. A more effective way is using caulk with plastic shim wedges. Place the shims underneath the base to steady and stabilize the toilet. Add some caulk to help keep the shims in place and provide a stronger and more lasting stabilization effect.

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.

You can fix a leaking outdoor spigot by replacing the washer, tightening the bonnet, or replacing the spigot altogether. Turn off the water supply and open the spigot to see the issue. You may need to tighten the bonnet by 1/8- to 1/4-inch of a turn. You might also need to see if the washer is damaged or worn. If those fixes don’t stop the leak, you should replace the outdoor spigot. Consider a frost-proof sillcock to prevent future freezes and leaking. 

No—you should always shut off the power and the water supply to the tank. Shutting off the water ensures that your water heater won’t continuously refill while you are trying to drain it, which would likely cause a big mess! Make sure to allow the hot water to cool completely before continuing the process of draining the heater.
