Stanley's a family owned with over 60 years in business

"They arrived with impressive equipment. Dug up front yard and placed pipe, replaced dirt and left. Rain came and the ground gave way leaving a four foot deep trench. The work was done October 10, 2020 and it is 12/5/200 and no one has come to repair. People related to situation said he didn't add soil and use a heavy weight to repack the soil. The secretary says she will give him message but no return calls. The mailbox is leaning and hole deepens the more it rains."

Drain Pipe Installation questions, answered by experts

No, most homeowners insurance will not cover the replacement of polybutylene pipes. These pipes are considered defective and high-risk and can cause leaks and severe water damage. They usually don’t fall under “sudden and accidental” damage. Unfortunately, you most likely will need to pay for the pipe replacement yourself.

There are three main types of shower valves: pressure balance, thermostatic, and diverter valves. Pressure balance and thermostatic valves are known as mixing valves. These regulate the flow and temperature of water, but in slightly different ways. A diverter valve directs the flow of water from one fixture to another, and you’ll commonly find them in tub-shower combos.

Regrouting a shower, especially if you’re doing so as part of a larger bathroom renovation, is worth it. Not only will your shower look better overall after regrouting, but it will also become more water-resistant, decreasing the chances of water damage behind the tiles as well as mold and mildew growth. 

A flue pipe should go straight up from the back of the fireplace to the top of the chimney. Bends or kinks in the flue liner would restrict combustion gasses from flowing seamlessly out of the home, so these gasses could instead smoke up your living room and become a health hazard to your household.

The first rule of plumbing is nothing but water, toilet paper, number one, and number two go down the drain. 

To prevent clogs, get yourself:

  • A compast pail where you can clean plates, drain grease, and toss scraps and paper towels. 

  • Drain screens for the shower, tub, and bathroom sink to stop hair, jewelry, toys, etc. from going down the drain.

  • Trash cans for everything that shouldn’t go down the drain, like dental floss, hygiene products, and cat litter.

P.S.: If you do drop your priceless ring down the drain, take a deep breath, and then follow these steps to retrieve jewelry from your drain.
