"They did a great job, and are affordable! They offered a quote on the phone, and told us depending on how the toilet looks the price could change. Thankfully, it did not. Our technician, Phil, was professional and great at what he did. We would hire them again!"

"We moved into a new house six months ago and recently thereafter started having problems with our sewer line backing up.  The original sewer line was installed when the house was built in 1961 and it was that terra cotta pipe which is subject to root intrusion from trees.  Initially we had the line cleared and things were working better, but knew we'd need to replace the entire sewer line at some point.  That point came in early June when the line started backing up again.  Again we had the line cleared, but this time the plumber clearing the line pulled out mud which meant the line was damaged beyond any quick fix.

We then had four different plumbers come out to estimate a replacement line.  The rub is that our exterior sewer line runs under our concrete driveway which is in good shape.  Only two of the four plumbers we saw said that they would try to replace the line without breaking up the driveway (Frank of Taciak & Sons was one).  This was incredibly important to us as that would have added an additional cost of several thousand dollars (most likely) to fix the driveway to an already expensive repair.

Frank was incredibly personable and professional when he came out for the estimate.  He went over all of our options (which were few) and answered all of the questions we put to him.  He was very thorough in describing the work that would be done and how they would do it.  Frank did let us know that breaking up the driveway might be necessary, but that they would do everything in their power not to break it up.

The plan to replace the line was to dig ditches on each side of the driveway where they could access the line and then insert new, 4" PVC piping through the old 6" terra cotta line.  Thankfully they did this expertly and did not have to break up the driveway.

They also replaced and added clean outs (two) for the line so that we were up to code.

Once completed, they filled the holes back in, reseeded the areas where the grass was destroyed and then swept the work area so dirt was not all over the place.

The total job took about 7 hours and the cost was very reasonable for this type of repair. 

They were fantastic and we would recommend them!

"The service that I received from Express Heating and Cooling was excellent. The plumber/electrician was very knowledgeable. He addressed my concerns, had the solution for the problem, and made recommendations to solve other plumbing/electrical issues that were endangering my household, of which I wasn't even aware."

"First time to use the company to repair my 27 yr-old clothes dryer. Scheduling service was easy and a pleasant experience. Ben arrived on time, wearing face mask and gloves to comply with the COVID-19 issues. Ben was knowledgeable and courteous; diagnosed the problem as a fuse issue and also did a quick overall inspection. Repairs were quick and inexpensive;, and Ben left the area clean and back in order - wonderful news and I highly recommend this company."

Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts

The key difference between a standard spigot (or regular hose bib) and a frost-free hose bib is its design to prevent freezing and pipe bursting during cold weather. A standard spigot is a basic outdoor faucet. In contrast, a frost-free hose bib has a longer stem that extends into the heated interior of the house, placing the shut-off valve inside where it's protected from freezing temperatures. This design, often combined with a downward-sloping supply pipe, ensures water drains out of the faucet body when turned off, preventing ice formation. This allows you to leave the water supply on year-round without the risk of pipe damage, making it a valuable choice for regions with harsh winters.

The best way to unclog a bathtub drain is to pour a pot of boiled water down the drain, being careful not to splash yourself. However, take precautions, as boiling water can damage PVC pipes and joints. Follow up with ½ cup of baking soda and ½ cup of vinegar. Cover the drain with a small sink plunger and let it sit for 15 minutes. Pour boiling water down the drain again and replace the drain stopper.

You can often identify a freeze-proof faucet by its structure. Unlike a traditional spigot, a freeze-proof one will include a long supply pipe that extends into your home and connects several inches back to your water supply. Many freeze-proof models also have an extra valve on top of the exterior of the spigot, which is the anti-siphon feature that protects against water backflow.

Depending on the home, wastewater either goes into a septic tank and seeps back into the backyard or is sent via sewer system to a local sewage-treatment plant. Septic systems naturally separate different components of the waste so that it can naturally and safely disperse it. They are usually reserved for homes not served by a municipal sewage department (like rural homes). A treatment plant, on the other hand, speeds up that process through screening and purification.

This depends on how old your home is and residential construction norms where you live. Most modern homes have outdoor shut-off valves, but many older homes have the water meter indoors. You're most likely to find this valve in the basement or utility closet if it's indoors. If you have an outdoor shut-off valve, it should be somewhere on the perimeter of your home.
