"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."

"Absolutely amazing, kind, efficient, and reassuring. They cleaned up after themselves and took care of the job quickly. I had hydro jetting done on my sewage line 7 years ago and was charged 10x’s more (true math) by a larger, well-known company. Being a first-time homeowner, I didn’t know any better at the time to get multiple quotes. That company told me I’d need to replace my entire sewage line in 3–5 years. With that hanging over my head, I’ve been pressing my luck for 7 years by not doing anything, because of the quote that company gave me. Come to find out, my line is in good condition! I can’t thank Rooter-Man enough. 7 years of stress … gone. STRONGLY recommend!"

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

It is generally not recommended to pour hot or boiling water down a drain to unfreeze pipes due to significant risks. In some cases, the sudden temperature change can cause more ice buildup or produce steam, which increases pressure and could cause the pipe to burst, leading to costly damage and potential burn injuries. While hot water might help with a partially frozen drainpipe, it is unlikely to thaw a completely blocked water pipe further down the system. Additionally, boiling water can damage plastic pipes over time. Safer and more effective methods include using a space heater near the frozen section or applying hot towels directly to the pipe.

Minor fixes, like leak repairs, are manageable DIY projects; however, major replacements usually require professional services to ensure safety.

A plumber can flush a water heater, but typically a water heater specialist is best for the job. Expect a pro to charge you between $75 and $200 to come to your home to flush your water heater, depending on where you live. While this cost deters many homeowners from performing this annual maintenance, it can extend the water heater’s lifespan by years, making it worth the additional cost. While you can hire a water heater specialist to handle this maintenance, this is a job most homeowners can perform on their own. 

Yes, you can remove a bathtub yourself if you have previous DIY experience and basic plumbing knowledge. You should have at least one other person help you if you approach this project as a DIY. However, hiring a plumber or bathroom remodeling pro can prevent accidental damage from demolition or water leakage.

The average cost to hire a plumber is typically between $45 and $200 per hour, with a common average rate around $125 per hour. This cost can vary based on your location, the plumber's experience, and the complexity of the job. Rates are often broken down by experience level: an apprentice may charge $45 to $90 an hour, a journeyman $60 to $110 an hour, and a master plumber $80 to $200 an hour. While hourly rates are standard, some plumbers may charge a flat fee for routine projects or offer project-based pricing. It's also common for plumbers to charge a minimum service or trip fee. For reference, some typical flat-rate costs for common jobs include: drain unclogging ($220), leaky faucet repair ($270), burst pipe repair ($400), toilet repair ($300), and water heater repair ($600). Note that these rates are for standard service hours; emergency, holiday, and after-hours calls will cost significantly more.
