"Could not have been better. Ran into a scheduling issue with another plumber. Called Kirkwood Plumbing on Monday, they were able to schedule us for the next day. Gave them the info from the original plumber's proposal and they agreed to match the cost and work. Plumber was running late due to very heavy traffic. Called 45 minutes before the scheduled appointment to let us know he might be a little late. Arrived only 10 to 15 minutes late, which was fine with us since he had called. Got right to work and finished within a few hours."

"Maplewood Plumbing was the 2nd company I called to replace a garbage disposal after the first company was blatantly trying to rip me off. The plumber they sent was on time, friendly, honest (he didn't try to upsell me models) and was less than a third the price of the 1st company I had called. Thankful for a company I can trust, I will absolutely use them again in the future!"

"Don was very professional and affordable. He finished my water pressure regulator and new faucet in under an hour. My only complaint is that the drain for my sink he worked on has been leaking for over a week and he hasn't come back out to look at it. Aside from that, I'm very happy with Don's work and will hire him for more projects in the future."

"We have worked with GA Chott since 1999, finishing our basement, remodeling our kitchen and bathrooms, and smaller projects recently. Darryll and Angie are a pleasure to work with. The workers show up on time, are very courteous, and clean up at the end of the day. The work is done with meticulous detail and pride of their work. Our most recent project was repairing our ceiling, painting, installing a new shower head, and exhaust fan in the master bath. They also installed smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to bring our home up to code. We are always very happy with the work and enjoy having them in our home. We feel their pricing is fair and would definitely call them for anything we need in the future."

Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts

A back pressure valve is a control valve used on production vessels, such as separators, treaters, and free water knockouts. The valve holds pressure until a set point is reached, and then releases upstream pressure to reset. Back pressure valves are not safety mechanisms. Instead, they are regulators designed to keep the fluid, gas, or liquid mixture in a system at a certain pressure level to prevent bursts and other incidents.

Meanwhile, a backflow preventer is a safety mechanism that kicks in when the pressure has already failed and contaminated water flows in the reverse direction. Most backflow preventers consist of two one-way valves, or check valves assembled together. This design only allows water to pass through in one direction but not the other.

Constant problems with plumbing throughout the home may point toward the plumbing vent being the culprit. If a blockage or clog occurs in the plumbing vent, it can quickly lead to the entire plumbing system throughout the home failing. Tackle clogs as soon as they happen, and if it’s a constant problem, bring in a local plumber to look at repairs.

Be on the lookout for multiple points of the plumbing system causing problems, such as if there’s a strong scent coming from the home or if you notice the plumbing vent on the roof is damaged.

Putting caulk around a toilet’s base where it touches the flooring can help hold the toilet in place. A more effective way is using caulk with plastic shim wedges. Place the shims underneath the base to steady and stabilize the toilet. Add some caulk to help keep the shims in place and provide a stronger and more lasting stabilization effect.

A two-way cleanout can help if there’s already a clog, but the best strategy to prevent one is by not rinsing grease, oil, or fat down your drains, not flushing or rinsing coffee grounds or egg shells down your drains, flushing only human waste and toilet paper (so no diapers, period products, bathroom wipes, or paper towels), and using drain guards on all of your drains.

Start by pouring hot—but not boiling—water down the drain. The heat of the water may be enough to break down the clog. You can also try ½ cup of dish soap or 1 cup each of white vinegar and baking soda. If you choose a chemical unclogging product, ensure it’s appropriate for toilets to avoid damage.
