"The service from the response from the initial call to the finished work was the best. It was the first time I used them and they are now my plumber and have recommended them to others"
"Kirkwood Plumbing was very responsive, sending a highly qualified technician within 24-hours. He did an incredible job replacing old cast stacks and vents to our 2nd floor bath. The further comment that I would make is they are not cheap. I'm still trying to reconcile their cost for a 7-8 hour job, but the results couldn't be better."
"I can t say enough great things about Hosack Plumbing and Excavation. They just completed replacing the main water line from our home to the street. Their work is excellent, they completely explain what they are doing and make you feel very comfortable and when the work is completed everything is neat and clean and back to its original state. Their pricing was very fair and they were professional and friendly."
"MH Contracting is absolutely top notch! I cannot nor would not think of hiring anybody else for any of my needs at my home. My wife and I wanted to make our basement into a master suite with a large master bathroom and large walk in closet. We contacted Home Advisor which then put us in touch with several companies. MH Contracting was without fail, the best choice. After meeting with all of the companies and comparing bids, we knew that Mike and MH Contracting was the way to go. We had grand plans but were not sure that we could afford to do everything at once. We needed to start with adding an egress window to the basement. Their quote was right within our budget. Mike helped take our basement from an in home office to a wonderful paradise. My wife and I must have changed our plans at least 10 times during the process. Each time Mike and Scott said ������������������������ no problem������������������������. We went from planning a 65 sq ft bathroom to over a 220 sq ft bathroom with an additional walk in closet at another 120 sq ft. This does not even include the master bedroom. From the beautiful walk in shower, 72������������������������ soaker tub, tv mounted above the tub to the heated floors, everything has turned out perfectly. Both Mike and Scott are very scrupulous about every aspect of what they do. Then we decided to take down a wall between our twin������������������������s bedrooms to make one large room. You can������������������������t even tell where the wall was. Their drywall work is amazing. They showed up on time, worked a full day and cleaned up every single day they were here. We trusted them from the beginning. We gave them the alarm code and access to the house exclusively. They even worked while our 13yr old twins were home over spring break. Never a trust issue and that������������������������s hard to come by now a days. Our project took about 2 months from start to finish. I������������������������ve already had Mike and crew out to my father in laws house for some electrical work and to my daughter������������������������s house to work up a quote for all new windows and some much needed concrete repair issues. I can������������������������t wait for our next project to be planned."
"I am so glad I chose Sludge Busters. Mike and Adam responded quickly and professionally to my sewer backup problem. I highly recommend Sludge Busters for any plumbing issues."
"I hired this company to extend the natural gas in my house and would definitely recommend them. I felt that the plumber who did the installation really knew what he was doing and seemed like a great guy. The installation went well and the price was fair."
Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts
The best option is to alter the plumbing. Moving and centering the drain pipe behind the sink usually does the trick and creates the sleek, minimalist look that pedestal sinks offer. If you don’t want to do any plumbing work, there are a few decorating hacks:
Painting the pipes
Placing shelves, plants, or baskets in front of the pipes
Adding a sink skirt
If a bolt at the bottom of your toilet tank is loose, it can directly cause a leak. If a bolt securing the toilet base to the floor is loose, it won’t directly cause a leak but can lead to the same result over time. That’s because the loose bolts will eventually move the wax seal or cause cracks in the bowl from the toilet being wobbly.
Turn on the water to each faucet and check the area for water trickling out from anyplace but the spout. Next, shut off the water and see if there’s any residue which could indicate a worn down rubber seal. If you find any water, you can replace the rubber seal or have a plumber do it for you.
Bleach—even diluted bleach—is not always the safest option for cleaning your drains. With a high pH, bleach can be highly corrosive to many types of pipes, especially when used regularly. When mixed with household cleaners and organic waste, it can also create dangerous chemicals. Remember to use proper protective equipment and ventilation when dealing with bleach.
It usually takes between 30 minutes and one hour to repair a leaky faucet, but if you hire a plumber, they’ll often charge for one hour minimum. However, this time period is entirely dependent on the type of repair you need. Some complex repairs can take several hours to complete.
