"My experience with both plumbers was wonderful. Thomas came out on the weekend to assess the problem. Matthew arrived a couple of days later to fix a problem that was caused when I had my bathroom rehabbed. The original plumber had not installed it correctly and the tank always jiggled. Their solution had been to put plastic shivs in which never stayed put. I am thrilled that the tank is now very secure. I highly recommend Plumb Right."

"I am blessed to have met David today. Thank you, Angie! David replaced a bath vanity faucet for me. He will be my “go to” plumber in the future! He is personable, quite knowledgeable, efficient, and his rates are competitive. Just by watching him, work, I could tell that he is worthy of his master plumber credentials. While he was here, he also flushed my hot water heater. Thanks for working that into your schedule today! I highly recommend David and his company, Nearby Plumbing based in Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN. nearbymnplumbing.com"

"Neil was very prompt and fixed the issue in 45 minutes. The previous professional I had hired did not fix the problem and failed to return 3 times. I should have called Abel Plumbing first - excellent job!"

"As a person in the plumbing trades both new construction and service work I have come to appreciate the skills of someone who does a craft full time and is encouraged to develop skills to make it “their” full time occupation and career. Drain cleaning is part of maintaining a plumbing system. It is a craft different than installing and repairing plumbing but it is just as important to do it correctly. The other values in McDonough’s services are several having the equipment and personnel trained and available is paramount to this no matter how big a job has gotten they have never stopped until it was completed! The other feature that is not fully understood by many is that it is always best to use someone that has only one purpose in mind and that is to get the drain cleaned and inspected and has no reason to up sell you on some repairs or replacement that you don’t need. That why we use them as a plumbing company and recommend them to our valued clients. Great company that invests in training, retaining and having the equipment that their service people need to be efficient, productive and provide the services that they are being relied on to provide."

"I was super impressed by every aspect of Randy’s Electric. First, their scheduling is top-notch. The gentleman who answered the phone could not have been nicer and made me feel like I made his day simply by calling, and the woman who handled confirmation calls was also super friendly. Second, I received multiple confirmations by telephone, email and text. I had had various no-shows in the previous week by plumbing, a different electrician, and handyman vendors so I was very glad for the proactive confirmations and the awesome customer service by Randy’s Electric! The day of the appointment, I also received an email with my electrician’s name, photo and bio. Whoever is in charge of the Randy’s confirmation process, give that person a raise! Great idea and very welcome. Lastly, my electrician Tom Leahy could not have been nicer, more skilled, professional or efficient, and did a great job! I also asked him for a quote for additional building work on behalf of my condo association, as I would use Randy’s Electric again in a heartbeat. Outstanding experience!"

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Yes, and no. Your shower, toilet, and sink all connect to the same main drain, but the secondary drains going from each fixture to the main drain are usually separate. This isn’t always the case—especially in older homes—but since toilets contain black water and showers, tubs, and sinks have grey water, toilets are more regulated and come at a greater risk of contamination. It’s best to keep these drains separate using individual waste collection for this reason.

If the drain is frozen, the pipes connecting to the washing machine are likely frozen. If the hot water trick doesn’t also unfreeze the washing machine pipes, you can gently apply heat with a hair dryer on the lowest setting. Start at the end of the pipe closest to the faucet to prevent pressure from building in the pipes, and make sure the faucet is open to drain the water as it melts.

There are three main types of shower valves: pressure-balancing, thermostatic, and diverter. Pressure-balancing and thermostatic valves are both considered mixing valves because they regulate water flow and temperature, but they do so in different ways. A pressure-balancing valve senses changes in water pressure, such as from a flushing toilet, and adjusts the incoming hot and cold water to maintain a consistent temperature; these typically use a single knob. A thermostatic valve uses a thermostat to precisely control the water temperature and requires a separate control to adjust the water volume. A diverter valve directs the flow of water from one fixture to another, such as switching from a tub faucet to a showerhead in a tub-shower combination.

PVC is best for drain or waste lines, but it isn’t a great choice for water supply lines, which tend to be highly pressurized. PVC is also not suitable for hot water lines. Instead, you’ll commonly see PVC for a toilet drain line or for plumbing vents to prevent airlocks, which can prevent water from flowing out of faucets.

Vinegar could damage drain pipes in theory since it’s corrosive in large quantities. However, you would have to pour a whole lot of vinegar down the drain at regular intervals to cause any issues. Adding a bit every now and then to clear out clogs is fine.
