"Salesman Bob Wood was wonderfully helpful - no upselling, no pressure, provided multiple options for everything. The install was able to take place very quickly - Pedro D., Joel T., and Alex did the install in a single day as promised. They were professional, friendly, very respectful of my home and even patched up the surrounding tile from the main bathroom. The new shower is beautiful - very happy I decided to move ahead. Financing was easy as well. I would (and have!) recommended them to family and friends - will use them again for any future projects."

Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts
When outside temperatures drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, your pipes are at risk of freezing. To prevent this, set your thermostat to no lower than 55 degrees. For added safety, especially when you are away from home, maintaining a temperature between 55 and 60 degrees will provide enough warmth to keep pipes from freezing and help you avoid expensive water damage from burst pipes.
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.
No, putting new plumber’s tape over old plumber’s tape is not recommended. The old tape connection may not be completely adhered and could cause a leak.
Instead, remove the old tape completely, clean off the pipe threads with a clean rag and wire brush if needed, then apply new plumber’s tape to make your connection.
Pipes most often burst during winter and early spring because those seasons experience the coldest temperatures that can freeze pipes. Pipes typically begin to freeze when the outside temperature falls below 20 degrees Fahrenheit—but it’s not a hard and fast rule.
The largest risk is any period of time when outdoor temperatures fall below freezing for six hours or more. That’s an average winter night in many areas of the United States, so it’s best to take precautions before winter begins, like insulating your pipes.
You’ll only need to replace your sink’s pipes when you start to notice signs of wear like corrosion or leaking. Most pipes last somewhere between 20 and 100 years, depending on the material. Copper and cast iron can last up to 100 years. Galvanized steel and brass generally have a 50-year lifespan. PVC pipes last 25 to 40 years.
