"Could not have been better. Ran into a scheduling issue with another plumber. Called Kirkwood Plumbing on Monday, they were able to schedule us for the next day. Gave them the info from the original plumber's proposal and they agreed to match the cost and work. Plumber was running late due to very heavy traffic. Called 45 minutes before the scheduled appointment to let us know he might be a little late. Arrived only 10 to 15 minutes late, which was fine with us since he had called. Got right to work and finished within a few hours."
"Great. He is very honest, quick and does a terrific job. I have used Ambassadors Plumbing at my business and personally. He does his utmost best to get you the best deal, while always keeping safety and efficiency in mind."
"The plumber came in and did an excellent job. Knew exactly what needed to be done. Got right on it and finished it up efficiently and professionally. I would hire them again without any hesitation. Quality work from a quality company."
"Maplewood Plumbing was the 2nd company I called to replace a garbage disposal after the first company was blatantly trying to rip me off. The plumber they sent was on time, friendly, honest (he didn't try to upsell me models) and was less than a third the price of the 1st company I had called. Thankful for a company I can trust, I will absolutely use them again in the future!"
"Look no further if you’re looking for a new handy man for hire. Don with Super Handy Man is your guy. There were a few plumbing projects around my house that needed to be taken care of. After getting a few astronomical quotes from larger plumbing outfits, I decided to go the route of a handy man. Don with Super Handy Man, was the first to reach out. After a few conversations about the projects he was able to quote me a price that was very reasonable and affordable. We scheduled the work, he showed up on time, and did dang good job. He’s just as knowledgeable as he is a stand up guy. For future projects that are outside of my scope, I won’t hesitate to give Don a call."
"The company was Professional and the plumber was friendly and listened to all my concerns. Dwayne explained everything he was doing and his findings to me."
"Excellent customer service! The team was efficient, responsive, and professional. I was very much in need of a bathroom remodel, due to a deteriorating floor. The product quality is excellent and exceeded the remodel.
Very reasonable pricing!
I highly recommend Romine Contracting LLC!!!"

You should flush your water heater at least once a year, with some experts recommending a schedule of every six to 12 months (e.g., once in the spring and fall). The ideal frequency depends on several factors.
If your area has hard water with high mineral concentrations, you should flush the heater more often—typically every four to six months. Additionally, a water heater that is used frequently may require more frequent flushing than one that is used less often.
Regular flushing is important because it removes sediment buildup from the bottom of the tank. This maintenance helps improve the heater's efficiency, extend its lifespan, and prevent issues like clogs, overheating, and increased energy consumption. You can either learn to perform this task yourself or arrange for a service plan with a professional plumber.
Never pour used motor oil down the drain. Doing so can have serious environmental consequences, including contaminating groundwater, endangering animals, and killing vegetation. It can also clog your pipes, causing backups in your plumbing or the wastewater treatment plant. In most places, pouring motor oil down the drain is illegal, whether you do it in your home or a storm drain.
Installing a drain pipe costs about $600, ranging from $150 to $2,000, depending on the type of drain, accessibility, proximity to drain lines, and whether you’re installing new drain pipes or replacing old ones. Replacing a main drain line can cost over $2,000, whereas replacing a p-trap costs around $150 on average. Keep in mind that new water pipe installation projects are bid by fixture, like kitchen sink, toilet, or main water line. You can expect to pay $70 to $1,000 per fixture.
You can buy a sealant spray for a leaking copper pipe, but it’s not a permanent solution and isn’t usually a good idea. For the best adhesion, you should drain the pipe, let it dry completely, apply the spray, and wait for it to dry before turning the water back on. Even with proper technique, a sealant spray is a temporary fix, so you should only use this technique in the interim to prevent water damage if you’re waiting for a more permanent fix.
