"Sewer line breakage. Zoom was able to locate and replace the pipe without issue. They were punctual, fast and efficient. Their quotes were straight forward. Best price, great service."
"Plumbing is just shockingly expensive so I rated that a bit lower. They did work that was previously done half-ass by another firm but did it better and more thoroughly. Unfortunately the work I need is massive so they helped me troubleshoot for now until I can get the work done. I will, however, have them do it. Very professional, prompt, and easy to work with. Highly recommend them!"
"Absolute best. I had three bids. One was way over the top. The other bid was slightly lower than the one from Maplewood Plumbing, but they stopped responding to my questions after I asked them two times. I understand that if it was just a $200 job, then it would not be worth the time, but $2,500 was no chump change. Couldn't I ask just a couple more questions to make sure I knew what I was getting into? Maplewood plumbing was different, from start to finish. They even came out a second time to take a closer look to reassure me on what needed to be moved or removed first in order to start their work. I doubt many companies would want to do that. The plumbers working on the job were happy to answer questions as well. There was a small drip in the water supply line/shutoff valve area of the toilet after they were done with the job, They fixed it after a call. Some companies just leave these loose ends unfixed, but they didn't. The office staff was also responsive and professional. All in all, they were such a pleasure to work with. Will definitely hire them for future plumbing needs."
"Mike , the owner was quick to respond to my clogged drain toilet call. He had someone there in minutes. Adam, the technician was knowledgeable, professional and a great guy. He walked me through the whole process as he did his work. Fair, Honest and a great value. Hire sludgebusters if you have clogged pipes!"
"I scheduled a 2-4 pm appointment earlier this week for Kirkwood Plumbing to come out and fix a toilet. I called to verify this appointment earlier today and was informed they "should be able to come" for the service. At 355 today, I received a call that a plumber could not make it that they could "try again Monday after 3." I informed her that I had to take off work for this appointment and this very inconvenient. Although we've had a good experience with them in the past, this experience is very annoying. Is this normal for plumbing companies to not make 'appointments.'? Update: a plumber came on Monday afternoon and promptly and professionally fixed the problem. "
"Had an extra tall toilet installed for my elderly mother. It will make sitting down and getting up a lot easier. Thank you Allen for doing an awesome job!"
"The plumber came in and did an excellent job. Knew exactly what needed to be done. Got right on it and finished it up efficiently and professionally. I would hire them again without any hesitation. Quality work from a quality company."
"I had a toilet that was not flushing properly. The plumber fixed the problem, but within a couple days the toilet began running all the time. They came back and did not charge, and fixed, but within another week the chain broke. A month later the same issues are occurring, so looks like it was a temporary fix. I called a different plumber to handle the issue and hopefully will get a permanent fix. "
If your toilet is still leaking after replacing the toilet flapper, then you may not have installed the toilet flapper correctly. Double-check that you have placed the flapper over the overflow tube correctly, and check the flapper chain is at the right length. If your toilet is still leaking, then you may have another problem on hand. For example, you may need to replace the toilet wax ring or replace the toilet fill valve if your toilet is wobbly and leaking from around the base.
A standard toilet flange should fit snugly into the outflow pipe and sit level with the subfloor. Installing a new one without first removing the old one will make it impossible to form a seal and keep the toilet bowl bolted securely in place.
However, if you’re dealing with leakage or wobbling because you’ve installed a new type of bathroom tile (making the floor taller), you may be able to avoid fully replacing the flange by opting for a toilet flange extender. Extenders typically come in kits for easy DIY installation, fit over the existing flange, and bring the drain connection higher.
Options include standard, dual-flush, and low-flow models. Choose based on water efficiency and design preferences.
If a toilet is not properly vented, you could experience issues like poor drainage, slow flushing, frequent clogs, malfunctioning traps, gurgling noises, and the release of sewer gasses. If left untreated, all of these issues could lead to longer term structural damage or (in the case of sewer gasses) harmful health side effects.
Small bathroom renovation costs don’t have to break the bank. A $5,000 budget is realistic, provided you're not adding luxurious fittings or making complex layout changes. Changing the layout is the most costly aspect of renovating a bathroom. So if you keep the layout, do some of the job DIY (within your skillset), and use relatively affordable fixtures and accessories, you should be able to stay within your budget.
