"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!"

"Overall the tub removal and shower install was great. The installers did a great job. There was a miss on the sales reps side. We picked the subway tile with black grout and we got the subway tile with white grout. We checked back on the sales sheet and the mistake was there, so we have to own the mistake. However, we were talking to the rep about the black grout and he even made a comment about it as well. We made an assumption that everything was put in correctly and that’s on us. Even with that, the shower looks great and the guys doing the installation did a great job."

"HousePro recently remodeled our 1940s style Ardmore Home to our exact specifications, preserving the 40s charm while creating a comfortable, modern home. They accomplished our goals while we lived in Mississippi. That speaks volumes about HousePro's professionalism, shared vision, and ability to communicate. While they specialize in bathrooms and kitchens, they can tackle any project. Besides being top-notch carpenters, electricians, and plumbers, they engineered and implemented water mitigation for our basement. Inside the house, they supervised painting and floor refinishing, rewired the upstairs, completely remodeled a cramped second story into a spacious master suite, tripling the size of the bathroom, creating a walk-in closet and a cozy study for our home office. They even made crown modeling from scratch. They reconditioned all the original brass hardware. The list goes on. HousePro is extremely professional, reasonably priced, highly skilled in all facets of home remodeling."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

In general, PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PEX (polyethylene), and copper are the three piping materials used in new constructions when adding water supply lines. There are some caveats. PEX and copper are considered ideal when running lines that will handle hot water because they are not at risk for melting and warping the way that PVC piping can. At $0.40 to $4 per linear foot, PEX is considered more affordable than copper pipes, which cost $2 to $12 per linear foot. PVC is considered appropriate in water lines for cold taps only.

To avoid the high costs of plumbing repairs, watch for potential problems. If you see any signs of a leak, consider hiring a professional plumber. A pro can assess the level of damage and make the appropriate repairs.

Plumbing leaks are always better tackled immediately. You can also fix any minor repairs yourself or ask the plumber if they can use less expensive materials.

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.

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.

While you may have some water, it's best to wait until after the repair is complete to use your home's pipes. For one thing, the water pressure will most likely be greatly reduced, leading to a less-than-intense shower. There's also the risk of contamination from dirt and bacteria that can enter the broken water main pipe. In many cases, a pro will turn off the flow of water from your water main to do the repairs, so showering won’t likely be an option.
