"Excellent experience. The owner Kelly and the installer/plumber Chad were very professional and knowledgeable. Chad did a great job with my numerous plumbing issues: installed a new outdoor spigot, in the kitchen replaced faucet and added a turn off valve, replaced old tub piping and drain, repaired leaking bathroom sink drain and resolved issue with laundry room floor drain. I will have more plumbing projects in the near future and will hire them again. I highly recommend Pure Mechanical."

"I called Northern first since they repaired a faucet conneciton for me last year. I received quaotes for three brands. A lter called gave me the model numbers so I could research them. I called another plumber for a quote to check prices. The prices matched for the same models. Since Northern did an excellent job previously, I engaged them. They showed up just at the end of the window they told me. Performed the replacement and clean-up in an hour. Very good work."

"Major sewer line backup while visiting my sister in Minneapolis. Had called a "rooter" service that was unable to fix the problem. They said it needed to be lined. Luckily, I discovered the Dig Free team. They came out right away, gave me a quote (which was fabulous), and was able to start right away! I was incredibly impressed and relieved. Their service and work was great and everything was cleaned up too. I would definitely recommend Dig Free to anyone!! Great job!!"

"I requested quotes from four companies ranging from $5,044 to $16,500, of which, Randy's Electric completed the work at $6,763. It was $6,156 for the upgraded panel, upgraded service and electrical work. It was $607 for the Tesla Gen3 Wall Connector install. I chose Randy's Electric over competitor as they (1) gave three realistic estimates based on transparency of materials and labor cost, (2) were responsive w/ consistent electricians, and (3) had a reasonable yet realistic cost. The low cost provider was Stafford Home Services, but I declined to use them because the individual came in the house for 15 minutes, acknowledged he wasn't electrician, but gave an estimate, which felt rushed and as though he didn't want to be there. The $16,500 quote came from ServiceToday, which felt significantly overpriced. Moreover, the lead electrician did no estimate having his apprentices wander house. They also said everything needed replacement. Randy's Electric was easy to work with by doing easy payment processing, electronic quotes/invoices, kept the house clean, kept us informed, and were very responsive. We also used Tom (lead electrician) who was consistent during each trip. He also "listened" to our asks at each step inspecting the needs himself. I ask each other service provider about a dedicated circuit to the sub pump and none of them remembered. I will continue to work with Randy's Electric as long as they continue to do a good job and provide reasonable quotes."

"We had a leaking sink faucet in the bathroom. Sandra at The Pleasant Plumber answered our call and scheduled us for a same-day evaluation. It wasn't an easy fix--the plumbing was 25 years old and there was some rusting and corrosion--but Chris, a Master Plumber, diagnosed the problem correctly and had it fixed for us, quickly and efficiently, the next morning. He was polite and genial--indeed pleasant! Pricing was reasonable. We recommend highly!"

Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts

The average lifespan of plumbing ranges from 20 to 100 years, primarily determined by the pipe material. For example, PEX piping can last 80 to 100 years, while copper and cast iron pipes have a lifespan of 50 to 100 years. Other materials like CPVC, brass, and steel typically last between 50 and 70 years, and galvanized steel pipes have a shorter lifespan of up to 50 years. The longevity of any pipe material is also affected by factors like soil acidity, extreme temperatures, and proper maintenance, which is crucial for ensuring a long service life.

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.

No—you should always shut off the power and the water supply to the tank. Shutting off the water ensures that your water heater won’t continuously refill while you are trying to drain it, which would likely cause a big mess! Make sure to allow the hot water to cool completely before continuing the process of draining the heater.

Yes, shower water goes into the septic tank. Shower water is a type of greywater, and in fact, all water used in a home with a septic system—including water from sinks, toilets, the dishwasher, and the washing machine—drains into the tank. When shower water enters the tank, debris like soap and hair travels with it. The solid debris sinks to the bottom to become sludge, while soap residue joins the scum layer at the top. The remaining water is treated in the tank before moving to the drain field for further treatment and dispersal. It is important to avoid putting oil or harsh chemicals down any drain, as they can cause clogs or disrupt the beneficial bacteria required for proper wastewater management in the septic system.

Most faucets come with a rubber or plastic gasket that prevents leaks—but that’s not always the case. If your faucet doesn’t come with a gasket or it’s leaking, use a caulk gun to seal the gaps and prevent water damage.
