"Angel was able to respond really quickly on the phone. They had really good customer service and were able to show up the same day to install a power vented water heater. They kept everything clean and nice and I am very pleased."

"My grandson flushed his little yellow bus down the toilet Friday afternoon. I called several plumbers in the area. By late Saturday afternoon I had only 1 returned call saying they could come out Monday morning. A friend suggested I call Gentille Plumbing and Heating. I called them and they said they could come early Sunday morning. Ryan arrived promptly as promise and quickly determine how to approach the issue and retrieved the little yellow bus. Cleanup was quick and pricing fair. Ryan was professional , friendly and was on his way within 45 minutes of arrival. Thank You Gentille Plumbing and Heating"

"We had an emergency having to do with a crack in the main sewer pipe. It took the original plumber that one of the trustees dispatched to the property 3 days just to come up with a plan of action. Meanwhile, the entire building was not able to use any of the facilities, including toilets, showers, dishwashers and washers. When we finally received a proposal, it was for most invasive and expensive option - digging a tranche from our basement all the way to the town sewer line in the middle of the street and replacing the entire main sewer pipe. BTW, no actual diagnostics was ever performed (most contractors examine the pipe with the camera and based on actual results, recommend a solution, which could involve tranchless pipe lining or replacement in worst case scenario). To me it seemed unreasonable, so I decided to call other contractors to get a second opinion, including Ladd. To my pleasant surprise, David Ladd was one of the two contractors that shortly returned my call, although it was Saturday. Furthermore, David stopped by on Sunday to assess the situation on site. He was ready to examine the pipe with his camera on Monday and potentially get started with repairs on Tuesday. All trustees were left with very positive impression after talking to David. If we did not have another contractor, whom we contacted before, stopping by first thing Monday morning and being able to do the job right there and then, we would have most likely hired Ladd company to do the work. We will definitely consider David Ladd for any future project."

Toilets questions, answered by experts

Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.

Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.

For best results, you should remove the toilet in a bathroom before removing tile or installing new tile. If you don’t remove the toilet, it will be harder to fully waterproof the tile around the toilet, which could increase the risk of mold growth or plumbing leaks. If you have trouble removing the toilet, hire a plumber to help.

Installation costs range from $150 to $400, depending on toilet type and labor.

Replacing a standard toilet with an elongated one is straightforward. The two types can be installed using the same existing drainpipe and plumbing. If you have a small bathroom, make sure that an elongated toilet doesn’t violate local building codes for clearance, which is the space between fixtures and walls. 

The toilet flange anchors to the subfloor, usually with wood screws or cement screws, but most of it should sit above floor level at full height. When a flange is flush with the subfloor or below it, it can lead to the creation of leak paths.
