"Jason and James were complete professionals. They ran into some interesting issues in my 85 year old home, with much original plumbing. Nothing got in their way of leaving me with a beautiful shower/tub. And they left the worksite spotless. Thanks guys,,"

"We had a bathtub converted into a Shower, they removed the old bathtub and installed a shower tray with a wall lining system unique to their company called Re-Bath. They also removed an old single person shower and installed a linen closet, new ceramic tile floor with a heating element (heated floor with thermostat and timer). New Mirrors, new lights and new solid surface counter top with integrated bowls and new faucets. Rerouted plumbing and minor electrcal work. The 2 installers Ryan and Ken were fantastic, their work was very good, they kept the house clean during the whole process and made sure everything was clean at the end of every day. They took the time to explain how everything new they installed worked, very thorough and very professional. They arrived everyday when they said they were going to arrive and kept us updated with the progress throughout the process. I would definitely use this company again."

"Love Haines Drains Plumbing!!! They answered the phone, didn't let it go to voicemail??. They were able to come out the same. wow! Excellent technicians gave an estimate, explained everything. Highly recommend them."
"I had 2 companies come out for quotes. Normally I would get more but it was close to the holidays and we wanted the project done. We had a pipe break in the master bathroom after just doing some tile work and had to redo drywall and paint from that problem along with totally redo the walk-in closet with new carpeting throughout the downstairs. Within 2 weeks another leak from a floor drain (Sta-Dry project) had gotten the new carpet wet and we just wanted our lives back downstairs. Sorry for the long intro but it brings me to the point. After telling both contractors what we had just been through it was obvious we were sick and tired of our lower level being torn up. The original estimate from Atlantic Waterproofing would have required all of the new drywall in the walk-in closet to be torn out and foundation work to be done. This project would have required lots of time and more drywall work in both the walk in closet and the master bedroom along with cement work on the foundation. We live on a nice lake and I think they saw dollar signs. Venting...sorry. Sta-dry drove over from Lansing, sat down with us and worked out a reasonable solution with no talk of ever needing foundation work. They came up with a way to hide the plumbing behind the drywall so we did not have to cover that somehow in the corner of our bedroom. The were professional, did the work in a timely manner, cleaned up after themselves and found a cost effective way to do it without any major disruption to our lives. They look to have a solid warranty and I felt confident that if I ever had a problem they would take care of it. We obviously were not excited about more work downstairs or a sump pump in our master bedroom but Sta-Dry made it pretty painless and gave us an option of 12 months same as cash through a bank they work with. Would definitely use them again and were appreciate of how smoothly things went after the other 2 projects we had just lived through. Life is back to normal...Thank Goodness!! "

First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap—you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don’t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart.
Flex is necessary for soldering copper pipe. This acidic paste attracts the solder, pulling it deeper into the joint so the solder fills all the gaps between the two metal fittings. While many solder products contain small amounts of flux, you need to apply the additional flux paste to ensure you achieve a water-tight fit between the two copper pipes.
A standard toilet flange should fit snugly into the outflow pipe and sit level with the subfloor. Installing a new one without first removing the old one will make it impossible to form a seal and keep the toilet bowl bolted securely in place.
However, if you’re dealing with leakage or wobbling because you’ve installed a new type of bathroom tile (making the floor taller), you may be able to avoid fully replacing the flange by opting for a toilet flange extender. Extenders typically come in kits for easy DIY installation, fit over the existing flange, and bring the drain connection higher.
No, shower valves and cartridges are not universal. They must match and typically come from the same manufacturer. Mixing and matching different brands is unlikely to work and can cause issues like leaks or malfunctioning faucets. To find the correct replacement, check the old valve or cartridge for a brand name, model number, or serial number. If you cannot find this information, contact the manufacturer or check their website to determine which parts are compatible.
Replacing a toilet costs between $275 and $480 in most cases, and the average cost sits around $375. This includes removing the old toilet and installing the new toilet. Your price could be significantly higher if you invest in a high-quality brand, need the replacement done on an emergency basis, or replace your toilet as a part of a larger bathroom remodel that demands additional work.
