"Great! Friendly, yet very professional. Jeff took the time to explain what occurred and exactly what work he was going to perform. He worked in a very timely manner and the space he worked in was completely cleaned up when he was done. I would recommend this experienced professional and would call on him again for any other plumbing needs."

"They were polite and did a great job. I had five different plumbers try to help me figure out my problem. Not only did they give me the best price, but they found something that no other company had found. Definitely recommend!"

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

The first step in lowering costs due to damage is keeping an eye out for potential leaks, a common problem new homeowners may notice. That’s because the sooner you identify a water issue, the smaller its impact on drywall, flooring, and fixtures. Low water pressure, water on the floor, loose tiles, a change in water color, or slow drains are signs of a potential leak.

If your copper pipe springs a leak, you don’t have to replace the entire pipe. You can replace just the damaged section, either by adding a new portion of pipe or using a slip repair coupling. Nonetheless, you may want to replace your pipes if they’re more than 20 years old or suffering from severe corrosion. A pipe replacement costs somewhere between $400 to $2,200.

While plumber’s tape is a great solution for many plumbing problems, there are some times when it’s not the right product for the job at hand. 

You shouldn’t use plumber’s tape on pipe connections in any of the following scenarios:

  • When connecting PVC pipes

  • If the pipe has wide threads, as water can still leak through the space between the threads

  • If the pipe has very tight threads, as the tape would prevent a proper connection

  • If the pipe threads are damaged, which would prevent the tape from providing a watertight seal

If your predicament is similar to any of these, a licensed plumber can help you solve the problem.

In most cases, drain cleaners will not clear a clogged sewer line, and they’re likely to damage your plumbing. Sewer lines are several inches wide, meaning any material that clogs it will need to be large. Drain cleaner can work on small clogs, but it usually won’t clear a larger one in a sewer main. Drain cleaners can also easily damage and corrode your plumbing with prolonged contact, and a clog will keep the cleaner in contact with the pipes for an extended period. Hire a professional sewer cleaner instead for a safe fix.

Most plumbers are available to make emergency house calls on Thanksgiving, but be sure to check their availability before making a service request. Since it’s a holiday, you can expect to pay additional fees for their time and labor. Plus, you should consider tipping your plumbing professionals extra for working on your pipes during a holiday.
