"Sinan Sugurgeci was the inspector who did the inspection. I was very impressed with his knowledge and presentation of services to be done. He is the main reason why I decided to hire Innovative Basement Authority to perform the necessary work"

"Steamboat Plumbing's owner Luke Ewert exceeded my expectations! He was incredibly helpful, friendly, and professional, taking extra time to ensure I understood my new water softener's operation, including navigating cycles and settings. He also walked me through shutting down my cabin's plumbing system for the fall, allowing me to video record the process. Luke's clear explanations, patience, and personal touch made the experience seamless. His dedication to customers is impressive. I appreciated the opportunity to chat with him about his background and family, which added a nice touch to the service. I highly recommend Steamboat Plumbing and Luke Ewert for exceptional service, expertise, and customer care. I will definitely use Steamboat Plumbing again in the future!"

"We are very happy with the job Hal and his team did. It is clear that Hal takes great pride in his work, and it shows in his craftsmanship and his attention to detail. What's more, they were all nice to have around--always polite and considerate.

Design-wise, our situation is a difficult one: Our backyard is like a "fish bowl" with the way houses and yards surround our property; further, the space lacks definition. Hal worked with us to figure out the best way to solve these issues while beautifying the space. The structures themselves are attractive and extremely well built. For example, he used mortise and tenon joints to attach cross-members, while the posts are footed in concrete that drops below the frost line (we have a lot of clay in our yard, which can weak havoc on structures that aren't properly installed). There are not too many fence-building companies (if any) that will do that, yet those other companies charge at least as much as Hal.

The only reason I didn't give a perfect grade is we did hit a few minor snags in communication. Communication is a two-way street, of course, so this is as much our fault as Hal's. If plans would have been drawn up beforehand, these snags probably could have been avoided. We ended up with a few surprises because everything hinged on conversations, written descriptions and references to photos from other jobs he's done. This is why "Punctuality" is a B (it isn't clear where "communication" fits into Angie's rating).

Having said that, we are hiring Hal again to do more work. Whatever small communication issues we had I expect will be gone this next time (it's like getting to know someone), and the quality of Hal's work is really impressive."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Boiling water helps unclog a drain, but usually only with a harder abrasive such as baking soda or vinegar. On its own, it isn’t the most effective tool. In addition, you shouldn’t use boiling water if you have PVC pipes, as it can soften or melt them. Use a plunger or enlist the help of a pro if you have plastic pipes.

An active cleaning agent and a drain snake is the best way to clean a main sewer line. You can purchase a regular or enzyme drain cleaner or make a DIY drain cleaner with baking soda. Use your chosen solution at least once a month or as needed to keep your sewer line clear. 

Yes, copper pipes freeze at temperatures of 20 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. In fact, copper pipes are more likely to freeze than other piping types since they conduct energy and lose heat quickly. They’re also more difficult to insulate, since insulation may make it difficult for heat to reach the pipes during sudden surges of cold weather.

While some chemical drain cleaners with hydrochloric acid can dissolve hair, this method is not recommended as it can also destroy your plumbing pipes. A common DIY alternative is using baking soda and vinegar, which can help break down the clog but will not actually dissolve the hair. The best and safest method for clearing a hair clog is to remove it manually. You can use a drain snake, a straightened wire hanger with pliers to fish out the clog, or have a plumber use a professional auger for more severe blockages.

A cistern works by collecting rainwater from your gutters and downspouts and storing it in a holding tank. The holding tank can be installed above or below ground, and the size will depend on your household needs. The stored water can then be used for household tasks, watering your garden, and even for drinking water.
