"Excellent service and very reasonable price. He also fixed another problem we had with a leaking toilet. He was here on the same day I called and arrived at the time promised. I highly recommend this business."
"Great company !! Very quick to respond and does quality work for a reasonable price. Installed vanity and toilets in our house. Definitely recommend for any plumbing issues."
"We have had some fairly difficult plumbing issues. He has been able to repair them. He has done significant work on our house. From installing a new lever to close a drain, to fixing a running toilet. At first he thought we were going to have to replace a kitchen faucet, and it was a fairly expensive one, so I asked him to see what he can do, and he was able to fix it for us. He just tinkered with it and got it right. He comes very quickly. I had an emergency once where a faucet broke and started spewing water. I could not budge the valve to turn off the water, and he came immediately to fix it.
All of this was a couple of years ago in the fall. He is currently doing some plumbing work for me. He is in the process of ordering a part for my faucet. I have told him before he is our plumber for life."
A bit of water in the bowl can help unclog a toilet, especially if you're using a plunger. However, if the bowl is full to the brim, you'll need to strap on gloves and remove some of the wastewater in a cup or container so it doesn't overflow when you try to unblock the pipe. If you're concerned about it filling further, manually close the flapper in the toilet tank or turn off the water supply to the toilet.
Yes, $5,000 is a healthy budget for a DIY bathroom renovation. It can go a long way in making the space more accessible and stylishly spa-like. Providing you stick to modest materials and don’t make any major plumbing or structural changes, you can upgrade fixtures, retile, and add some stylish bathroom accessories and savvy storage solutions to maximize the space.
Flushing the toilet only to realize it’s clogged can cause anxiety. To avoid a clogged toilet, use less toilet paper. If you notice that the toilet is flushing and refilling slower than usual, you can use a plunger to clear clogs in the S-trap. If that doesn’t work, call a plumber to check your system and possibly clear the drain lines.
Snaking a toilet is similar to clearing sinks and bathtubs, but there are unique circumstances where you’d have to drain, disassemble, and remove the toilet to fix the clog. For stubborn clogs in the toilet trap, a toilet auger—designed with a shorter cable and a protective plastic encasing—can navigate the tight bends and clear the clog without risking damage to the porcelain.
According to the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), the distance between your trap and the vent should be no more than 6 feet. For your vent to work properly, it needs to feed into the drain line within 6 feet of trapways that connect to it. Using this formula, you should be able to determine whether you will need multiple vent lines.
