"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."
"Reacted promptly and handled our problem completely and at a reasonable price. We were sufficiently impressed to ask for a quote on some other pending projects which were acceptable and those jobs have just been completed. One required imagination and another was a redo of something another plumber had misdiagnosed. An added plus was an interested, polite and helpful manner."
"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!! "

There are many possibilities for why your shower’s water pressure is low. It might be a simple-to-fix issue like the water valves being partially turned off, a dirty showerhead or hose, leaks in the plumbing, or an old showerhead. However, low water pressure in the shower could also indicate a larger issue with your home’s plumbing system.
An outdoor mixer tap lets you run hot water to an outside kitchen or greenhouse. Mixer taps do this by mixing both hot and cold water together for varying temperatures.
Some of the most common bathroom leaks include showers, sinks, and toilets. Most homeowners discover these leaks because of the chronic dripping sound faucets and showers make as water drips to the ground, but a leaky toilet will often appear as a puddle. Inspect your bathroom faucets, showers, and toilets every month to detect leaks quickly.
No, you should not see water in a sewer cleanout. If you do, it could indicate that you have a block or leak in your main sewer line—which can cause sewage to back up inside your home and potentially flood your yard. Your best bet is to call a local sewer cleaner if you notice any water or sewage around your cleanout.
