"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
If you find moisture under your sink, you can clean up the worst of it with paper towels or regular towels. Then, leave the cabinet doors open to allow air circulation. You can also place a fan or dehumidifier near the cabinet to help dry it out a little quicker.
Yes, frozen underground pipes can burst. When water inside the pipe freezes, it expands, increasing pressure on the pipe walls. If the pressure becomes too great, it can cause the pipe to crack or burst, leading to significant water damage when the ice eventually thaws.
Outdoor plumbing issues are no less serious or urgent to fix than interior plumbing problems. These problems may require excavation and lawn repair due to the plumbing often being buried underground.
The most common outside plumbing problems include:
A sewage ejector pump is necessary if you have any plumbing fixtures, such as a bathroom, laundry room, or sink, located below the level of your home's main sewer line. Standard plumbing relies on gravity to drain wastewater and solid waste into the municipal sewer system or a septic tank. For fixtures below this level, like those in a basement, gravity cannot move the waste upward. The ejector pump provides the force needed to pump the sewage up to the main line. Without one, wastewater from below-ground fixtures would back up, potentially causing a sewage overflow and flooding. If all of your plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity is sufficient and an ejector pump is not needed.
While tubs are fairly sturdy, you may notice cracks or holes. This kind of damage can happen from someone accidentally dropping something heavy into the tub. You might also see damage if you drop something heavy into the tub over and over again (like your extra large bottle of body wash). While you might only notice a small dent at first, this can later turn into a crack or a hole.
Also, certain cleaners that are harmful to your tub can cause damage. And if you have a fiberglass tub, you might see cracks if it was not installed properly with the right support.
