"My water heater started leaking in the evening. I tried calling a few local plumbing companies in the area. No one returned the call. I left a message for Dynamic Plumbing, shortly after a few minutes my phone rings..I was surprised, it was the plumber from Dynamic Plumbing. He went over the options over the phone and offered to come out the same evening. Upon agreeing, He arrived at my house with protective face covering and gloves. He worked quickly and stopped the water to prevent any further damage to our belongings in the area. Then he explained the types of water heaters are available and which will be the best option for me, being a teacher I had several questions and Angel provided me with answers to all my questions very patiently. He was very courteous and polite. Upon our agreement he provided the timing which they will be arriving the following day to install the new water heater. It was surprising that he arrived earlier than the time frame window I was provided with. He was very professional and had his mask, gloves and boot coverings on throughout the entire installation process. The work area was left much cleaner than I had prior to start of their work. I am very thankful for their quick response, knowledge and excellent customer service. I will highly recommend Dynamic Plumbing Heating and Gas Fitting to all my neighbors and co-workers. Thank you for a great job!!! True day savers"

Toilets questions, answered by experts

While technically possible, it is unlikely that a clogged toilet will fix itself. Clogs caused by water-soluble materials like toilet paper or human waste may eventually break down in the water, allowing flow to resume. However, this can take time, and any clogs from solid objects require manual removal. In most scenarios, especially if you don't have another bathroom, it is best to fix the clog yourself or call a plumber.

The most practical and common setup is a toilet that connects with the sewer line or a septic tank. However, it is possible to install a toilet without a sewer line, and this can be particularly helpful in basements with no or outdated plumbing. An increasingly popular option is an environmentally friendly composting toilet. Other waterless options include incinerating or dry flush toilets, which pull the waste into an airtight container.

If you decide to replace the toilet flapper yourself, the only cost will be buying the new flapper for around $5 to $17. You can also hire a plumber or handyperson to take on the job instead, in which case you’ll pay an hourly rate for labor plus the cost of parts. Handypersons charge $50 to $150 per hour, while plumbers cost $45 to $200 per hour. This repair might take less than an hour for your pro, but note that many providers have a minimum rate for a house call. 

Yes, a toilet, sink, and shower can share the same vent. This is a common installation method that can simplify plumbing and save space. However, there are important considerations. The vent and associated plumbing must be large enough to handle the demands of all fixtures without compromising the vent's effectiveness. Additionally, the toilet should always be located downstream of all other fixtures. Because requirements can vary and space might be limited, it is essential to check your local building and plumbing codes and consult with a qualified plumber to ensure the installation is done correctly.

To drain a broken toilet, place towels or plastic sheeting around the base in case of splashing or overflowing. Next, shut off the toilet’s water supply, usually via a valve on the wall behind the toilet. Begin flushing the handle to remove as much water as possible from the tank and the bowl. Don’t flush the toilet if it’s clogged, though. From there, use a large sponge to soak up any remaining water and wring it over a bucket.
