"I was very impressed with the quality of service and reasonable pricing offered by Mr. Appliance.  Their technician showed up on time, explained everything he was doing, finished his repairs quickly, and made no attempt to sell anything beyond what we needed.   I would recommend this company to anyone in need of prompt and reasonable appliance services.

"These company is a class act. From the sales/designer Jack to the actual plumbers and installers Ryan, Wade, William, Mike and Marcus. Ryan and Wade arrived on time and had demo completed before noon and started on the install of new shower. The rest of the team showed up and completed my bathroom by 5:00. They were clean and professional. They didn't get upset with me walking in and out watching progress. They were also mindful of my 4 dogs with the door. I only had to pen them a couple of times when door needed to remain open. I would use this company again and highly recommend them! Thank you Jack, Ryan, Wade, William, Mike and Marcus for your hard work!"

"This was a complicated and extensive project.  Corky and his team had 90% of the work completed within 6 months.  I always knew Corky had my best interests in mind with every twist and turn in the project.  As the demolition began, we uncovered new and unexpected challenges.  Corky never waivered and was quick to find affordable solutions.  If you want a contractor who is responsive (answers when you call), gets in the foxhole with you, and truly cares about the service he provides, then Corky and Advantage construction is the solution.
Finally, Corky dealt effectively with the wilmington historic preservation committee.  We live near Durham and had to rely on Corky to attend HPC meetings and keep our project advancing.  He came through with shining colors!"

"These guys helped totally remodel our condo- new paint, new flooring, new doors, new lighting, new shower tiled enclosure, new countertops as well as removing overhead hanging cabinets and finishing it out to improve our beach view from the kitchen. They did a fantastic job! They communicated frequently, gave suggestions and did extra work as it popped up without qualms and finished on time. Roy was a pleasure to work with especially with us being long distance to the actual job- didn t phase him at all. Going to have them come back in the off season to R and R the master tub and surround with tile as well. Highly recommend!"

Affordable Plumbers FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, it is safe to turn off the main water valve. As long as you don’t force the shut-off valve and break it, you can’t damage the water supply pipes by shutting off the water. We wouldn’t recommend shutting it off regularly without a good reason. However, when you need to know what to do in a plumbing emergency, shutting off the water main is a safe way to reduce water damage inside your home.

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.

It is generally not recommended to pour hot or boiling water down a drain to unfreeze pipes due to significant risks. In some cases, the sudden temperature change can cause more ice buildup or produce steam, which increases pressure and could cause the pipe to burst, leading to costly damage and potential burn injuries. While hot water might help with a partially frozen drainpipe, it is unlikely to thaw a completely blocked water pipe further down the system. Additionally, boiling water can damage plastic pipes over time. Safer and more effective methods include using a space heater near the frozen section or applying hot towels directly to the pipe.

The water supply lines run underneath the bathtub. These two pipes deliver cold and hot water to the bathtub—the cold water comes from the main water supply, and the hot water comes from the water heater. The pipes are made from copper, cream-colored plastic CPVC, or red and blue PEX tubing.

The time it takes to fix a leaking pipe is determined by the location of the leak, the extent of the damage, and the experience level of the person completing this task. Leaks from exposed pipes should only take an hour or so, but that can increase to several hours if a significant section of pipe needs to be replaced. Pipes in walls or ceilings will take two to six hours, while complex underground pipe repairs can take multiple days.
