"Shane, the plumber, cleared the drain clog. He was friendly, on time, knowledgeable, and answered all my questions. Shane estimated it would take an hour and it took only about half an hour. I was then charged a ridiculous $830. I feel I was way overcharged and am not happy with this. I do not recommend Dean's Home Services."

"Safe Basements have been a complete joy to work with, the customer service was professonal and friendly. The assesser was honest, no up selling or down selling. They finished the project 2 weeks after booking. The workmen were effiecent, made sure to cover everything so nothing got covered with dust, they even swept! It got done in exactly the time required and the basement has never looked better. If you need basement work, I couldn't recommend anyone higher."

We specialize in Storm/Hail damage restoration. Our team have over 19 years of experience with Gutter, Roof and Siding replacements. If something does not look right outside of your home, don't wait until it is too late! Please give us a call today. We will send a team member to examine for any signs of damage in your exterior. You may or may not need repairs, but we do provide this free inspection service for home/business owners!

"I would like to thank Miguel and the team at Precision Exteriors Restoration for their help replacing our roof, gutter helmets, siding, downspouts, and resolve some damage to our air conditioner. Miguel helped make the insurance claim process effortless and was always prompt, responsive, and professional. Miguel did a great job managing all the work whether it be the internal teams to Precision Exteriors Restoration (siding, roofing, etc.), along with the external teams (Gutter Helmet, HVAC, etc.). We (my wife) also decided to make a major color change with our siding and Miguel went above and beyond to provide us samples, along with walking us through how to use an application (HOVER) that provides a 3d view and shows how the siding would match the roofing, etc. Miguel made great recommendations regarding color, accents, and suggested we wrap some of the cedar trim around our garage doors and a post in the front and it turned out amazing; would have never thought to do it. I couldn’t be happier with the quality of work that Miguel and the team at Precision Exteriors Restoration provided and I would highly recommend them for any exterior restoration work."

Drain Pipe Installation questions, answered by experts

No, putting new plumber’s tape over old plumber’s tape is not recommended. The old tape connection may not be completely adhered and could cause a leak. 

Instead, remove the old tape completely, clean off the pipe threads with a clean rag and wire brush if needed, then apply new plumber’s tape to make your connection.

Yes, you can have a toilet without a septic tank. However, it will have to be a composting toilet. Composting toilets work similarly to aerobic septic systems in that the waste, which sits in a separate compartment below the toilet itself, is slowly broken down by aerobic bacteria. These toilets typically have a vent to get rid of harmful gasses with a fan, which requires a battery. You will have to dispose of waste in the toilet manually every three weeks to every three months, depending on how many people are using the toilet.

When positioning a pot filler, you want to mount it above the stove at a height that allows for convenient access without obstructing cooking. Ideally, it should be centered and reach all burners. Ensuring it's properly aligned and at an ergonomic height is crucial for its functionality and aesthetic appeal in the kitchen space.

If your wall is wet, but there isn’t a leak, it’s likely a result of humidity and condensation from running a hot shower or cooking in the kitchen. The best way to remedy this issue is to run the fan in the bathroom when you’re showering or in the kitchen when you’re cooking. You can also use a dehumidifier to help remove moisture from the air.

You might need a permit to modify or repair any portion of your plumbing system, including drainage lines, depending on where you live. In some areas, simple replacements of existing drain lines don’t require a permit. We recommend asking your drain pipe installer or your local building department about permitting requirements. In many cases, only certified plumbers can pull plumbing permits, so you’ll usually need to leave the permit application to your professional. The fee for the permit will be passed to you on your project bill, though.
