"Quick, efficient, affordable (yeah, like the name says), friendly, quality....pick any positive description you want and it will likely apply to my experience with Jeff and Les. Filled out the Angi form on a Saturday morning, had a brand new water heater by 4pm. Just was an outstanding experience."
"We hired Briggs Plumbing to fix a leak in our washing machine connection. He also replaced our kitchen faucet. He came the day after we contacted him, and did a very good job. We would hire Briggs again, and recommend his services."

"The team showed up, and completed what they needed to in a short amount of time. Also offered a few suggestions for things that the plumber was not able to complete but noticed where wrong. 10/10 would use again!"
"The team that installed our windows and slider were wonderful. Stayed late to finish the job and even showed us how every window and door worked and all of the options each had."
"Very prompt and professional. They went above and beyond. If you're looking for cheap these are not your guys. The price is quickly forgotten if the quality is not good. Hire these guys with total confidence."
"Very professional people working for this business... from the salesperson who came to explain the whole process to the installer. The installer was extremely neat and arrived on time which I appreciated. I hate when workers arrive late to the job and you're stuck waiting. He did an awesome job, too! No mess to clean up after him, either, which was nice. Very happy with the product, so far. The only reason I'm giving it a slightly lower mark for the value is because it is a bit costly. However, since the bathtub to shower conversion is for an older relative, it's worth the money, Very glad I hired BathPlanet."
Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts
This rumbling noise after flushing may sound like a hammer or knocking inside the walls. When you flush, it opens a valve so additional water can come in. However, if the valve malfunctions, then this rush of water has nowhere to go, which makes all the excess water hit your pipes and create a loud hammering sound.
There are many reasons why water pipes leak. The most common reasons include clogs, broken rubber seals that deteriorate over time, corrosion on copper, brass, or galvanized pipes, and damaged pipe joints.
You might also have a leak if your water pressure is too high (usually higher than 60 psi) or if your fixtures have a crack. Moreover, natural changes in the area around your underground pipes, like growing tree roots, flooding, or earthquakes, can cause leaky water pipes.
Plumbing repairs cost $180 to $500, depending on the scope and urgency of the issue. A knocking pipe is usually caused by a problem with the water pressure or air pockets, so the costs will likely fall closer to the low end of that range. Pipe replacement will likely cost more than that since it’s a major project.
Hiring an emergency plumber is expensive because of the urgency and inconvenience, but there are a few things you can do to help keep costs down:
Minimize water damage by shutting off your water main
Clean up pooling water immediately to reduce damage and mold growth
Avoid using fixtures if you have a clog or septic system backup
Verify that your plumber is licensed before hiring
Call a few plumbers for estimates if you can afford a short delay in getting service
DIY is not recommended due to safety risks and specialized equipment requirements. Hire professionals for effective clearing.
