He often had to use imagination and ingenuity to make some things work. For example, he installed the floor & toilet first, since there is only one bathroom. He had to ?retro-fit? much of the plumbing because of issues with the very old ?galvanized? piping. He had to measure very carefully for the floor/ceiling trim, etc. due to some ?settling? of walls. Mark is very easy to work with and very flexible with schedules. He works with an eye toward perfection and will do whatever it takes to get the job done! I love my new bathroom and plan to use Mark?s services again. I do not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of a multi-talented handyman professional.

They proceeded to discuss the job with me and then wanted to leave, but I made them wait for my husband because he needed the information and he had questions. They were very impatient the entire time. They dismissed my questions and seemed inconvenienced by the visit. The main plumber even said that he had had a terrible day and "didn't feel like" spending much time on our estimate. He gave us a ballpark and said he would send a better estimate via email. We did not receive the estimate until almost two weeks later, even though he said at the time that the pipe should be fixed immediately. We had someone else do the work, and that company had the estimate that afternoon. Also, two other plumbers who gave us estimates told us that something Modern Plumbing said needed fixing did not, in fact, need to be repaired. The ballpark estimate we got from Modern Plumbing included an extra $90 for the repair that they said we needed but did not need. I was uncomfortable with them in our home, and felt that they were uninterested in treating us with respect but very interested in seeing how much money they could get out of us.

I found Kalamazoo Handymen on mid-June, on Angie?s List. Mark Dewey responded immediately to my call and we set up a date for him to review my small bathroom in this 60-year-old house. My original request sounded simple?replace floor, toilet, and repair plumbing to shower. Mark quoted a...

Plumbing Handymen questions, answered by experts
You can prevent pipes from bursting by taking several preventive measures. For example:
Open under-sink cabinets to allow warm air to flow around the pipes.
Let faucets drip to keep water moving.
Add insulation to crawl spaces or pipes to keep them warm.
Switching to city water from well water requires running a private main service line from the closest main city line to your home. When comparing well water versus city water, city water is routinely tested and readily available but can be more expensive than well water.
A broken flange could lead to serious issues. When a flange breaks, the toilet is no longer secured to the subfloor, which leads to constant rocking when in use. Over time, this breaks the wax seal between the toilet and flange and causes leaking throughout the substrate, bathroom floor, and ceilings below the bathroom.
This scenario is unlikely but technically possible. Clogs that result from water-soluble materials like toilet paper or human waste may eventually break down in the water and allow the water and waste to flow freely once again. A more likely scenario is that you’ll have to learn how to unclog a toilet or call a plumber.
No, rough-in plumbing is one of the last steps before your drywall goes up. This is because essential things like pipe installation require space before other elements go up. After the rough-in plumbing is complete, your inspector will also come to conduct an examination and tell you if your plumbing is approved and satisfies your building permit.
