"Kemoy is amazing! He has a wealth of knowledge in all areas of plumbing. He was very fair on price and did an excellent job. He installed a new water heater for me. While he was there at no extra charge he checked all the plumbing in the house to see if there were any other issues. He found one! The kitchen sink had been leaking at the p-trap. He fixed that at no cost. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic professional plumber!"

"Greene Planet gave us a free inspection of mold in crawl space & within two weeks work to remove the mold, began. It took 4 days of which the crew was here on time everyday and worked diligently for 8 hours each day. Greene Planet did exactly what they said they would do in their written bid. Very polite workers. The cost of the mold remediation, vapor proofing with an added dehumidifier, was very reasonably priced. Thank you, Greene Planet! You saved us!!!!!!!!!!"

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Hard water that is caused by high concentrations of calcium, magnesium, and potassium in a water supply is the leading cause of buildup in pipes. Hard water can be fixed by different types of water purification.

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.

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.

While frozen pipes will eventually thaw on their own as temperatures rise, it is not safe to let this happen unattended. As the ice blockage melts, water can become trapped, building up extreme pressure within the pipe. This pressure can cause the pipe to burst, leading to severe water damage, costly leaks, and serious damage to your plumbing system. It is best to handle frozen pipes as quickly as possible. If you do not see any visible damage, you can try to slowly warm the pipes by increasing warm air circulation or applying warm towels. However, if you spot any leaks or damage, you should call a plumber immediately. The best course of action is always to take preventative measures to stop pipes from freezing.

If you don’t want to remove the sink stopper, pour ½ cup of baking soda and 2 cups of boiling water down the drain. Start by pouring 1 cup of boiling water, then the baking soda, followed by the remaining cup of boiling water. Use caution as boiling water can damage PVC or other plastic piping. Using a scrub brush or slightly abrasive sponge, clean the top of the stopper, and run the faucet to ensure the drain is clear and the stopper is clean.
