"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

You can use normal solder, which consists of a tin and copper alloy, on copper pipes. You should avoid using leaded solder, especially if you're soldering together water supply lines, as it will contaminate drinking water. One way to test if your copper pipes contain lead is to scrape off the solder. If the scraped area is shiny, it likely contains lead.

Vinegar could damage drain pipes in theory since it’s corrosive in large quantities. However, you would have to pour a whole lot of vinegar down the drain at regular intervals to cause any issues. Adding a bit every now and then to clear out clogs is fine.

Soldering is a secure way to fix a leaky copper pipe, but if you don’t have access to a soldering iron, you can use a slip repair coupling or compression couplings. These types of couplings tighten with a wrench or by hand. If you’re looking for a temporary solution that doesn’t require soldering, you can use epoxy putty or adhesive tape.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.

There are several signs that can indicate you have air in your pipes, including unusual noises coming from the pipes, like banging and whistling, and inconsistent water flow and pressure. Spitting from the faucet right when you turn the water on is another indication that you might have air in the pipes.
