"Steve is very likable and very personable. Steve was willing to come to my house, To evaluate the job and give me a fair estimate. Without requiring a down payment. I called another plumber in the area with the estimate that Steve gave me and he wouldn't even call me back after. While Steve was working he suggested a few improvements that he thought that I might like, that have worked out much better and he still maintained the same price. Steve will certainly be my go to guy for all my plumbing needs."

"Ryan Rooter was recommended to me by a plumber, and I was pleased at his quick response to my call. He scheduled a visit to diagnose the problem and had it completed the next day. He was informative and showed me on his scope how serious the issue was (roots blocking pipes) and also showed me his work every step of the way. He made future recommendations due to my budget constraints. (He also practiced social distancing when we were both out and wore a mask whenever there was verbal contact.) I took several business cards and am glad to recommend him."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

White vinegar or baking soda can remove the crusty white deposits that minerals leave behind. A paper towel soaked in vinegar and wrapped around your faucet can effectively dissolve scale, but can be corrosive to some materials like brushed nickel if left on too long. For materials that can’t withstand vinegar, a paste of baking soda and water applied with a toothbrush can gently scrub away scale deposits.

You can stop a leak with plumber’s tape, but it’s not a recommended way to repair a leak. To install it, you have to dismantle the plumbing connection, apply plumber’s tape, and then re-install the pieces. 

There are better options for a temporary fix for leaking pipes, such as repair sleeves, epoxy compounds, or pipe clamps.

Yes, flushing a clogged toilet can make it overflow. While flushing the toilet may push enough pressure through the system to dislodge the clog, this is unlikely. Your best bet is to use a plunger and hope the suction can break up whatever is blocking the pipe. If this doesn’t work, use a plumbing auger or call a pro to help.

Toilet handles can get stuck for a couple of reasons, but it’s commonly an issue with the chain. Remove the lid and check the chain’s connection, running from the flapper to the handle arm. Sometimes the chain gets snagged on or against another part of the tank. 

The chain might not have the right tension. For example, a chain that’s too short can make the handle feel stuck. Check that there’s some slack in the chain. Old, worn-out flappers can get stuck, too. In this case, you’ll need to see which size toilet flapper you need.

No, your toilet tank should not empty completely when you flush. Although the water level will dip a lot after you flush, it shouldn’t be totally empty. If your tank is empty, you might have issues with your fill valve, float ball, or toilet trip lever. You should check all of your toilet parts to ensure they’re working correctly and make any necessary adjustments.
