"The service from the response from the initial call to the finished work was the best. It was the first time I used them and they are now my plumber and have recommended them to others"
"Kirkwood Plumbing was very responsive, sending a highly qualified technician within 24-hours. He did an incredible job replacing old cast stacks and vents to our 2nd floor bath. The further comment that I would make is they are not cheap. I'm still trying to reconcile their cost for a 7-8 hour job, but the results couldn't be better."
"I can t say enough great things about Hosack Plumbing and Excavation. They just completed replacing the main water line from our home to the street. Their work is excellent, they completely explain what they are doing and make you feel very comfortable and when the work is completed everything is neat and clean and back to its original state. Their pricing was very fair and they were professional and friendly."
"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."
"MH Contracting is absolutely top notch! I cannot nor would not think of hiring anybody else for any of my needs at my home. My wife and I wanted to make our basement into a master suite with a large master bathroom and large walk in closet. We contacted Home Advisor which then put us in touch with several companies. MH Contracting was without fail, the best choice. After meeting with all of the companies and comparing bids, we knew that Mike and MH Contracting was the way to go. We had grand plans but were not sure that we could afford to do everything at once. We needed to start with adding an egress window to the basement. Their quote was right within our budget. Mike helped take our basement from an in home office to a wonderful paradise. My wife and I must have changed our plans at least 10 times during the process. Each time Mike and Scott said ������������������������ no problem������������������������. We went from planning a 65 sq ft bathroom to over a 220 sq ft bathroom with an additional walk in closet at another 120 sq ft. This does not even include the master bedroom. From the beautiful walk in shower, 72������������������������ soaker tub, tv mounted above the tub to the heated floors, everything has turned out perfectly. Both Mike and Scott are very scrupulous about every aspect of what they do. Then we decided to take down a wall between our twin������������������������s bedrooms to make one large room. You can������������������������t even tell where the wall was. Their drywall work is amazing. They showed up on time, worked a full day and cleaned up every single day they were here. We trusted them from the beginning. We gave them the alarm code and access to the house exclusively. They even worked while our 13yr old twins were home over spring break. Never a trust issue and that������������������������s hard to come by now a days. Our project took about 2 months from start to finish. I������������������������ve already had Mike and crew out to my father in laws house for some electrical work and to my daughter������������������������s house to work up a quote for all new windows and some much needed concrete repair issues. I can������������������������t wait for our next project to be planned."
"The company was Professional and the plumber was friendly and listened to all my concerns. Dwayne explained everything he was doing and his findings to me."
Yes, pop-up drains commonly get clogged with hair, soap scum, and toothpaste. It is important to know how to properly clean the drain or get professional help to ensure it remains clear and can drain water effectively.
How long it takes for a pipe to freeze depends on the outdoor temperature, the level of preventative measures taken, and how long the outdoor temperature stays below freezing. With this in mind, expect most pipes to freeze within six to eight hours. Uninsulated exterior pipes can freeze in under six hours if the temperature is below 20 degrees. It takes at least 12 hours for unprotected pipes to freeze at 32 degrees.
No, you can’t drain your sump pump into your home’s sewer system. In fact, it’s against the law in many places because dumping extra water into a municipal water system can disrupt or overwhelm the treatment process. And for similar reasons, you shouldn’t discharge a sump pump into your septic system, either.
The first rule of plumbing is nothing but water, toilet paper, number one, and number two go down the drain.
To prevent clogs, get yourself:
A compast pail where you can clean plates, drain grease, and toss scraps and paper towels.
Drain screens for the shower, tub, and bathroom sink to stop hair, jewelry, toys, etc. from going down the drain.
Trash cans for everything that shouldn’t go down the drain, like dental floss, hygiene products, and cat litter.
Even if the shower drain doesn’t seem clogged or dirty, plan to clean it out about once per month—or more frequently if you or your family shed a lot of hair. It’s a good practice to remove any hair from the drain on a daily basis, as hair can accumulate fast and cause clogs in no time. You may also want to have a plumber thoroughly clean the drains in your home once every six months.
