"I can't thank Steve from Anytime Plumbing Services enough for his outstanding service! When I found myself in a plumbing emergency on a Saturday morning with a tight deadline, Steve came to my rescue. He arrived promptly, which was impressive given the short notice. Steve's professionalism and courtesy were evident from the moment he stepped in. He took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explained every step of the repair process. I appreciated his transparency and clear communication, which put me at ease during a stressful situation. What really stood out was Steve's integrity. Despite my urgent need for help, he didn't take advantage of the situation. His pricing was fair, and he completed the job efficiently without any unnecessary upsells. The quality of Steve's work was top-notch, and he resolved my plumbing issue quickly and effectively. Thanks to his expertise, I was able to meet my deadline without any further complications. I highly recommend Steve and Anytime Plumbing Services for their reliability, skill, and honest approach.

Zoom Drain is a full service provider of residential & commercial drain cleaning and inspection. We’re best known for fast response times and our ability to provide focused solutions to drain & sewer problems. From sinks, toilets, and tubs to main drains, roof drains, storm drains, and anything else that carries water, we’ve got you covered. We also offer grease trap cleaning services and planned preventative maintenance.

"I had two exterior faucets that were leaking, know that I risked frozen pipes if I did not have them fixed, consulted you, selected the Zoom company that was at top of list. Tehir plumber showed up on time Monday Morning, I showed him the faucets, requested that he install new washers,he informed me that they were too old to repair, suggested frost free ones, and as I knew they had to be fixed before winter, I agreed (I am still trusting them because of their Angi rating) He informs he he will have to cut hole in the finished ceiling to access pipe to complete installation, I agrees, he cuts but cannot locate pipe, goes outside to look again, cuts another hole, still cannot find pipe. He then tells me that he cannot replace it because of how the pipes are installed. Then he goes to the back faucet and decided that he cannot replace that one either. Somewhere along the line,not telling me, he shut off all water to my house someplace in front lawn. He then proceeds to put new washers in each of the faucets, I observe him doing so in the front, and turn it on and off myself. At this point, he suggests a shut off valve for the back faucet, which I agree to, and he begins cutting a length from the pipe in the rafters. Now remember, He has been in the back several times, but apparently did not notice the gas grill installed five feet from the house. IAs I agreed to the shut off, go upstairs to wait while he cuts a section of the copper pipe which he thought was water, but really was the gas connection to the grill. I soon start smelling gas, inform him, he smells it too, had an immediate evacuation. At this point he walks away from me, turns his back, starts calling someone, informs me that he has to call the fire department and Spire gas company, while I am standing there without any warm clothing in the drizzle. Fire dept. begins to clear he interior air of my house of gas, gas person goes downstairs and caps the gas pipe, they put me in his truck with heater on so I cannot hear any of the things they are discussing. I am informed that they shut off the gas (NO FURNACE!) I had to get someone in there to check everything out before they could turn it back on . I contacted Rhymes heating and Cooling , they gave me a Tuesday morning appt, but fortunately for me later in the afternoon they were able to get their man out. About this time was when your company called to ask me how it went, I started the story, your person gave me the customer service number to contact. But the story is not over...the Rhymes guy spends two hours, even calling in colleague to assist, but cannot find any leak. They cut more holes in the ceiling to access the gas line going to the kitchen stove, cannot find anything. At this point, he asks me to call Spire to ask if they can come and pinpoint what needs to be fixed to get my gas on....they suspect it might be in the meter area, which they cannot touch. Spire agrees to send an emergency guy out. By this time, my mouth is so dry I desperately need water...there is nothing coming out of the faucets.!!! The Rhymes man calls the water company, who will send emergency call. At this point, it is about 4, I pay Rhymes $389 for two hours work, necessitated b the Zoom guy cutting the gas line. A bit later, the new Spire man comes, takes the meter apart, cannot find anything there, spends another hour+ checking everything out. The water company guy arrives, cannot find any problems indoors. Remember the Zoom guy turned off the water in the main shut off...he left without turning it back on!!! Water gets turned back on. The Spire man turns the gas back on, and they both leave sometime in the dark. Bottom line, the Zoom plumber was certainly not up to the job, did not even clean up the parts of the ceiling that fell to the floor, even questioned me about all my clothes hanging in the basement, what my husband thought of it, I advised him that I had been married to an abusive man who I divorced 50 years ago, costing me $389 bill to Rhymes, $465 to Zoom for two washers, a torn up ceiling. a nightmare of a day. the"

Hello, my name is Al Birkenmeier, I am president of Birkenmeier and Sons, Inc.. So grateful for Angie's List and the Super Service Award 11 years in a row. I started my custom building and remodeling company in 1980 after 9 years in the commercial construction industry working with companies like McCarthy Bros., Hercules and Tarlton. I have pursued my love of providing the highest quality of construction while working hard at keeping my overhead down to keep it as affordable as possible. The proof is always in what my past has to offer so please don't hesitate to contact my past clients through a client reference list I would be happy to share with you as 99.9% are not Angie's List Members. Our quality of work and service is second to none so please let us offer you a no cost estimate and opinion for your next custom home or remodeling project. Thank you much, Al Birkenmeier

"I’m not sure where to start with this review. I faced several challenges with insurance and finding the right contractor to take care of spring storm damage and make repairs to work a previous contractor performed to my home. I met with Al Birkenmeier and showed him everything that needed to be repaired. The QUALITY of the materials and work done was impeccable and reminded me of how things use to be done years ago. Bobby, the carpenter, treated me respectfully and didn’t cut corners. Al only uses subcontractors he trusts to do the same quality work and ALL of those subs did exactly that! My house is fixed and is warmer due to the other work that needed to be redone just in time for winter. I can’t thank Al, Bobby, and the Subs enough and I appreciate ALL of the work done. The work wasn’t just good enough, it was above and beyond my true expectations!"

Water Heaters questions, answered by experts

The time it takes to replace a water heater depends on the complexity of the job. Expect your contractor to spend:

  • One to three hours on a standard tank-style water heater replacement

  • Two to three hours on a tankless water heater replacement

  • Four to six hours replacing a tank-style water heater with a tankless water heater

  • One hour for each additional parallel or point-of-use water heater

Your project will take longer if you’re switching fuel sources, upgrading to tankless, or relocating your water heater.

The size needed for your expansion tank is determined by the size of your home's water heater. Expansion tanks are available in 2-gallon and 4.5-gallon sizes. A 2-gallon tank will be appropriate for water heaters up to 50 gallons. An adequately sized tank should have a volume that equals 2% to 5% of the water volume within the system. A plumber can evaluate your home's water pressure, water heater size, and other factors to provide suggestions for picking out the best expansion tank.

If your gas water heater is over 20 years old, it should be replaced. Gas water heaters can last up to 12 years and while they can exceed this expectancy if well-maintained, a heater that's 20 years old would require replacement. The heater is unlikely to run as efficiently as a new model and could be more expensive to do so.

It usually takes a professional water heater installer between two and three hours to remove an existing water heater and install a new tank heater. However, it could take four to five hours if they have to work in a small utility closet or another tight area, like a crawl space. Tankless water heaters have a more complicated installation process, so they will take a bit longer. Additionally, a gas water heater requires a connection to a gas line, and that alone can add about an hour to the installation timeline compared to installing an electric water heater.

Signs your water heater is about to fail include: a unit older than ten years, rust water coming from your faucets, banging and rumbling noises when you call for hot water, and leaks coming from the tank. You might also notice a foul odor when you turn on your hot water, akin to rotten eggs or sulfur. Of course, your water heater might also need replacement if your water doesn’t stay hot or takes longer to heat up.
