"I'm so happy with 592 Properties & Construction. I needed a bathtub to shower conversion. I carefully researched and received multiple quotes from several top-rated businesses. I felt very pressured to buy or lose this offer when I leave by each salesperson from each business. Mr. Warren Merell, Owner/ Lead Technician from 592 Properties and Construction was able to answer all installation\product questions and did not pressure me to make a quick decision. He offered the best price by far. This made it possible for me to get a 2nd shower upgraded. He showed up on time, was very polite,and professional with top notch attention to detail. I highly recommend this business because the extremely smooth process, quality products, quality installation and it was the best deal around."

He replaced my pump in the well and I am one satisfied customer. I will call him again. I will be referring him to family and friends. I was satisfied with the hob and the cost was reasonable."

"Gerardo with G & E Plumbing LLC did an outstanding job on our shower replacement. From start to finish, he was professional, reliable, and paid close attention to every detail. The quality of the work exceeded our expectations, and the finished shower looks amazing. He showed up on time, communicated clearly throughout the process, and made sure everything was done right. It?s hard to find someone who takes this much pride in their work these days. I highly recommend Gerardo and G & E Plumbing LLC to anyone looking for honest, skilled, and dependable plumbing work. We?ll definitely be using them again for future projects!"

"We are pleased with our bath remodel that included a new tub, tub surround and wainscot walls. There was one small problem with the walls due to the ceiling and walls not being plumb however they did go above and beyond by doing more than was was agreed upon by making plumbing improvements, installing a new lighted medicine cabinet and repairing a light fixture. They were very courteous and the installer even made a suggestion for a change that we agreed would be better."

"We had a problem and our toilet was full . He worked to empty it so we would not have to call a plumber. He also told us some options that we should think about to save money. We are going to get back to him on them."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Boiling water helps unclog a drain, but usually only with a harder abrasive such as baking soda or vinegar. On its own, it isn’t the most effective tool. In addition, you shouldn’t use boiling water if you have PVC pipes, as it can soften or melt them. Use a plunger or enlist the help of a pro if you have plastic pipes.

If you go to turn it counterclockwise and it won’t turn anymore, it’s open. Like most other valves, you should be able to turn a radiator valve counterclockwise (to the left) to open it and clockwise (right) to close it. To close a radiator valve, turn it clockwise until you meet some resistance and can’t turn anymore, but do so carefully to avoid breaking the valve.

A backwater valve’s purpose is to let the water flow in one direction. It works like a little door that allows water to flow freely in one direction but stops it from flowing the opposite way. A backflow preventer is meant to prevent water from leaving your system, locking out wastewater in the process. Backflow preventers are commonly used by city sewer systems to stop residential wastewater from entering the water supply.

Installing a clawfoot tub with a minimum of 6 inches of clearance from surrounding walls allows ample room for the faucet and pipework, makes cleaning easier, and reduces the chance of moisture being trapped between the tub and the walls. It might need to be closer if the faucet comes directly out of the wall.

While plumber’s tape is a great solution for many plumbing problems, there are some times when it’s not the right product for the job at hand. 

You shouldn’t use plumber’s tape on pipe connections in any of the following scenarios:

  • When connecting PVC pipes

  • If the pipe has wide threads, as water can still leak through the space between the threads

  • If the pipe has very tight threads, as the tape would prevent a proper connection

  • If the pipe threads are damaged, which would prevent the tape from providing a watertight seal

If your predicament is similar to any of these, a licensed plumber can help you solve the problem.
