"Kevin E. was our installer and did a fantastic job. He was in our home from a Wednesday through Friday. He cleaned as the job progressed and put tarps down to protect our floors from the outside elements. Our new shower was totally replumbed and a new Delta shower fixture installed. What really impressed me was the caulking job Kevin did around all the seams. We are extremely happy."

"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

Yes, it’s necessary to have a sink drain stopper. While your sink will still work without a stopper, a stopper is necessary to keep things other than water from going down into your pipes and potentially clogging them. It prevents plumbing problems by keeping out unwanted debris and objects like hair, soap, toothpaste, dirt, and jewelry.

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

Ejector pumps can only push sewage 750 feet or less. That’s because their purpose is to move waste from your home to your sewer line—which is a relatively short distance. Grinder pumps can transport sewage further, but they manage lower volumes of waste than ejector pumps (and they don’t work with septic systems).

PEX pipes can freeze. While they are less likely to burst than rigid pipes like copper or galvanized steel, it is still possible. PEX is flexible and can expand as water freezes and contract as it thaws. However, this expansion can cause leaks around the pipe's connections. Furthermore, frequent freezing and thawing cycles can stress and weaken the material over time, increasing the risk of a future burst. Therefore, even though PEX is freeze-resistant, it is not freeze-proof, and standard insulation precautions are still recommended to prevent freezing.

The most likely reason is rust. You can try using lubricant to loosen the metal components, but you’ll most likely need to call in a plumber to professionally sand down the rust without damaging the rest of your bathtub. If the rust is extensive, it might be a sign that you need to replace the plumbing.
