"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

Your toilet handle might not come back up if the nut is loose or the bolt threads are stripped. Try to tighten the mounting nut and wrap plumber’s tape around the handle bolt to fix stripped threads. It’s possible the handle was improperly installed. If that’s the case, you can use the instructions above to correct the handle’s position. 

Toilet seats have two mounting brackets on the back that accept mounting bolts. The bolts drop through the brackets, through two small holes on the top of your toilet, and then receive nuts to hold them in place on the bottom of the toilet. If you can’t see the bolt heads, you might need to pry up the mounting bracket cover, which is a plastic piece that hides and protects the bolts.

The average cost to hire a plumber is typically between $45 and $200 per hour, with a common average rate around $125 per hour. This cost can vary based on your location, the plumber's experience, and the complexity of the job. Rates are often broken down by experience level: an apprentice may charge $45 to $90 an hour, a journeyman $60 to $110 an hour, and a master plumber $80 to $200 an hour. While hourly rates are standard, some plumbers may charge a flat fee for routine projects or offer project-based pricing. It's also common for plumbers to charge a minimum service or trip fee. For reference, some typical flat-rate costs for common jobs include: drain unclogging ($220), leaky faucet repair ($270), burst pipe repair ($400), toilet repair ($300), and water heater repair ($600). Note that these rates are for standard service hours; emergency, holiday, and after-hours calls will cost significantly more.

Yes, you can have a toilet without a septic tank. However, it will have to be a composting toilet. Composting toilets work similarly to aerobic septic systems in that the waste, which sits in a separate compartment below the toilet itself, is slowly broken down by aerobic bacteria. These toilets typically have a vent to get rid of harmful gasses with a fan, which requires a battery. You will have to dispose of waste in the toilet manually every three weeks to every three months, depending on how many people are using the toilet.

If you don’t replace a toilet flapper, your toilet tank will continue to empty and fill repeatedly, wasting water and running up your utility bills. Checking the flapper is a good first guess when dealing with a constantly running toilet. However, if these problems continue after replacing the flapper, you may need to hire a plumber to check and fix any bigger problems.
