Doug Anderson Plumbing & Heating was built from the ground up with hard work, dedication, and a genuine passion for helping people. Doug began his plumbing career in 2009, starting as an apprentice and learning the trade the old-fashioned way?through long days, hands-on experience, and a drive to always do the job right. By 2016, he had earned his master plumber license and was ready to take the next step: starting a business rooted in quality work and honest service. In 2017, Doug Anderson Plumbing & Heating officially opened its doors. As demand grew, Doug?s wife stepped in to help run and organize the operations, bringing structure, support, and leadership to match the technical expertise in the field. Together, they?ve grown the company into a trusted, family-run business known for reliable service, skilled craftsmanship, and a deep commitment to the people and homes they serve.

"I needed 2 backflow preventers replaced , a water heater repaired and a to0ilet repaired. I had a quote from a very famous local plumbing/heating company for $4000! I called Doug for a second opinion and he came in at HALF the price!! and that was AFTER I showed him the first quote! He didn't seem surprised at all about the first quote. Not only was he half the price but he pointed out that my 6 year warranty on my water heater had 6 months left and said I could get a new one thru that warranty for $100!!! He took care of going thru the company getting me the new heater. He completed the job in a few hours. I will NEVER call another plumber again! My recommendation is to run, not walk, to get Doug for your needs. On top of that he is so very nice. I would give 10 stars if I could."

They took on a big project transforming my horror of an overly-large primary bathroom into a beautiful, new bathroom plus an additional study.

Drawing from extensive collaboration with major home improvement corporations, we developed a strategic vision that culminated in the formation of Patriot. Our motivation stemmed from identifying inefficiencies within prominent home improvement firms and their impact on everyday consumers. At Patriot, our mission is rooted in a commitment to serve the community.

"Although I am pleased with the completed shower, I did not have a great experience. Mason was the sales man, and he was lovely except during the sales process he showed me doors that they no longer stock. No big deal except the doors that we agreed on were not what was delivered.

"I needed a full kitchen remodel on a condo I purchased last summer and ended up working with Charles on this project. He was a great communicator and always kept me posted on the project’s progress. His craftsmanship is excellent and I was incredibly happy with the final result. He would also share his perspective on decisions/choices that had to be made. With this project, he had a few recommendations that I’m very glad I took, as they were the right decision in hindsight. He knows other tradesmen in the area who complete quality work, and hired a lumber and electrician to help complete this project. I recommend working with Charles on your home remodel project as he does a fantastic job!"

Emergency Plumbers questions, answered by experts

The nice thing about outdoor water spigots is they last on average 10 to 20 years, depending on the model that you have. If you do happen to see any type of issue outside of that range, investigate the cause and what needs to be fixed to prevent further damage to your pipes or your home.

If the drain is frozen, the pipes connecting to the washing machine are likely frozen. If the hot water trick doesn’t also unfreeze the washing machine pipes, you can gently apply heat with a hair dryer on the lowest setting. Start at the end of the pipe closest to the faucet to prevent pressure from building in the pipes, and make sure the faucet is open to drain the water as it melts.

The only downsides to hiring a master plumber is that they charge a higher hourly rate than a less experienced plumber. Plus, master plumbers likely have less availability, given the demand for highly experienced professionals. The benefits far outweigh the cons, though. Upsides include the following:

  • More professional repair

  • More experience fixing your specific issue

  • Recourse if something goes wrong

  • Warranty for the work (in some cases)

  • Some insulation from lawsuits if the plumber gets injured on your property

Depending on the issue, you have a good shot at fixing a leaking sink yourself. If you have some plumbing experience or are comfortable with DIY jobs, you can clean the P trap, tighten nuts, replace washers, and replace shut-off valve stems on your own. For more complicated jobs, such as repairing a garbage disposal, calling a pro may be the way to go.

To get rid of a sewer smell in your crawl space, you’ll have to find the source of the problem. If it has to do with your sewer lines, then repairing the line will help. You may need to make other repairs, like fixing your sump pump or encapsulating your crawl space to reduce moisture. After you make the repair, depending on the issue, you may still need to clean out your crawl space to get rid of the stink.
