"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

If a bolt at the bottom of your toilet tank is loose, it can directly cause a leak. If a bolt securing the toilet base to the floor is loose, it won’t directly cause a leak but can lead to the same result over time. That’s because the loose bolts will eventually move the wax seal or cause cracks in the bowl from the toilet being wobbly.

PEX pipes can freeze. While they are less likely to burst than rigid pipes like copper or galvanized steel, it is still possible. PEX is flexible and can expand as water freezes and contract as it thaws. However, this expansion can cause leaks around the pipe's connections. Furthermore, frequent freezing and thawing cycles can stress and weaken the material over time, increasing the risk of a future burst. Therefore, even though PEX is freeze-resistant, it is not freeze-proof, and standard insulation precautions are still recommended to prevent freezing.

There are three main types of shower valves: pressure-balancing, thermostatic, and diverter. Pressure-balancing and thermostatic valves are both considered mixing valves because they regulate water flow and temperature, but they do so in different ways. A pressure-balancing valve senses changes in water pressure, such as from a flushing toilet, and adjusts the incoming hot and cold water to maintain a consistent temperature; these typically use a single knob. A thermostatic valve uses a thermostat to precisely control the water temperature and requires a separate control to adjust the water volume. A diverter valve directs the flow of water from one fixture to another, such as switching from a tub faucet to a showerhead in a tub-shower combination.

The water supply lines run underneath the bathtub. These two pipes deliver cold and hot water to the bathtub—the cold water comes from the main water supply, and the hot water comes from the water heater. The pipes are made from copper, cream-colored plastic CPVC, or red and blue PEX tubing.

A two-way cleanout can help if there’s already a clog, but the best strategy to prevent one is by not rinsing grease, oil, or fat down your drains, not flushing or rinsing coffee grounds or egg shells down your drains, flushing only human waste and toilet paper (so no diapers, period products, bathroom wipes, or paper towels), and using drain guards on all of your drains.
