"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

First, find the cleanout pipe in your yard. Unscrew the cap—you may need a wrench to do so. Then, get a drain snake. You can use a non-motorized one, but a motorized snake will make the job a little easier. Feed the snake through the pipe until it reaches the clog. Spin the snake continuously, but don’t try to feed it through the pipe anymore. Keep spinning until you feel it break the clog apart.

Sometimes a leaky faucet is simply the fault of a washer gone bad. Follow these steps to change the washer:

  • Shut off the water to the faucet

  • Remove the screw and handle

  • Remove the packing nut and washers

  • Clean and replace washers 

  • Reinstall the packing nut and handle

The only downsides to hiring a master plumber is that they charge a higher hourly rate than a less experienced plumber. Plus, master plumbers likely have less availability, given the demand for highly experienced professionals. The benefits far outweigh the cons, though. Upsides include the following:

  • More professional repair

  • More experience fixing your specific issue

  • Recourse if something goes wrong

  • Warranty for the work (in some cases)

  • Some insulation from lawsuits if the plumber gets injured on your property

According to the EPA, there is no safe level of lead in the blood, and so the maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) for lead in water is zero. Even at low levels, lead is harmful to human health. It can also remain in the body and build up over time with repeated exposure.

Hiring an emergency plumber is expensive because of the urgency and inconvenience, but there are a few things you can do to help keep costs down:

  • Minimize water damage by shutting off your water main 

  • Clean up pooling water immediately to reduce damage and mold growth

  • Avoid using fixtures if you have a clog or septic system backup

  • Verify that your plumber is licensed before hiring

  • Call a few plumbers for estimates if you can afford a short delay in getting service
