Customers say: Terrific value

"Originally, I hired Tubbs to just deliver salt.. Very Prompt.. However, 3 times softener was so overfilled it created a 'bridge'.. The last time it happened my rubber mallet did NOT work to break it up.. the bridge was like a 'solid ice cube' and Tubbs REFUSED to resolve the issue.. ***I had to HIRE CULLIGAN TO bring a special tool to fix the issue!!***.. I forgave them for that also.. My water softener needed replacing.. They were quick to get it done BUT same day, I developed a electrical issue.. For some reason, unit was throwing the breaker.. never happened with old softener.. They denied it was 'related to new softener'.. Electrician revamped electrical so that new unit would no longer pose a problem.. What went un-noticed when they replaced the softener is this- my reverse osmosis filters are maybe 3 inches from the softener and they removed one of the filters as, CLEARLY it was in the way, I understand that.. However, it is 6 weeks ago since installation and I only notice last week when I cleaned the utility room.. Called to ask them to please put it back so that I do NOT have to pay a pricey service call from Mulligan.. They DENIED removing it!!... Tubbs Soft Water and I are the ONLY PEOPLE who are ever in that room!!.. ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY because they are evidently NOT HUMAN and never make mistakes!.. Hired NEW company today, enough is enough.."

"I hired Wencl Plumbing to install a radiant heating system (boiler and baseboard radiators). The system install was poor to say the least, and it didn't work right from the beginning. I had to hire another shop to remedy all their bad work and now Wencl Plumbing is coming after me with collections agencies because I subtracted what I spent to fix their bad work from their final invoice (which wasn't enough to cover it anyway, so I'm in the hole from fixing their bad work and they're still coming after me). I'd steer clear of this outfit, no quality control whatsoever, full of...excuses, lies, and misrepresenting facts. Update Feb 2023: Currently I’m paying another shop to complete repairs to the boiler because when Wencl Plumbing installed the water softener (at the time of the boiler install) they never actually started it up. The boiler is now receiving repairs as a result of the softener not being operational, and now the softener may require replacement because it was never actually started and has been trying to run all this time. The hits keep on coming, thanks Wencl Plumbing. Update July 2024: I was contacted by a collection agency looking to collect money on behalf of this hack shop. I told them the same thing I told the last folks. The only way I'm giving that idiot a nickel is if a judge orders it, and there will be a countersuit! I spent a boatload of money to finish the job that Wencl was hired to do and could not and would not finish. Wencl Pluming is run by a hack, there's no quality control, no accountability, no professionalism. This is in regards to management/ ownership, I'm sure some of the folks working there are great. My beef is with Sam Wencl, the hack pin-head owner."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Applying drain cleaner is a common DIY solution to clogged drains, but it can be extremely harmful to your pipes and lead to corrosion and leaks. It is almost always better to try snaking a clog than using a drain cleaner, but the best solution is to hire a professional plumber. They can locate the clog and gauge the severity using a camera system and then decide if using a plumber’s snake, auger, or drain cleaner is the best option to remove the clog and limit damage to your plumbing system.

Usually it’s fine to leave a toilet clogged overnight, as long as it’s not close to overflowing. In some cases, the extra time may give the clog time to work itself out. For example, if it’s caused by an excess of toilet paper, letting it sit could result in the clog dissolving and you may be able to simply flush it away by the time you wake up. 

Only let it sit though if you have more than one toilet in the home.

Just as frozen pipes can cause a blocked sink that won’t drain, frozen toilet pipes can block water from flushing down the drain pipe and prevent the tank from refilling, depending on which lines are frozen. To clear a frozen drain pipe, you can fill the toilet tank or bowl with warm water and flush, allowing the water to thaw the pipe as it rushes through.

No, some window wells aren’t connected to drainage systems and instead are partially filled with gravel or crushed stone. In that case, water entering the well will drip down through the stone and disperse into the soil below. Window well drains might be required in areas with heavy rainfall or expansive soil—the lack of them could lead to foundation damage without a proper drainage system.

Conventional drain cleaners, like you might buy at the grocery store, use bleach (sodium hydroxide) as the main ingredient. On the contrary, biodegradable drain cleaners use gentler ingredients such as baking soda, vinegar, and boiling water to clear out drains. 

Bleach is extremely corrosive and releases harmful gasses—hence the need for wearing safety protections like rubber gloves, eye goggles, face masks, and long sleeves and properly ventilating the room while using bleach. Biodegradable cleaners, however, don’t use bleach. Therefore they are safer to use, especially if you have a house full of children.
