"Brad and his crew did an excellent job in doing a tub to shower conversion.Very professional and only took one day. Cleaned everything up and left nothing for us to do but to enjoy the shower. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a bathroom remodel"

"The crew (Chris Brazil and William) arrived early, getting busy with the complicated demo of a 1-piece fiberglass jacuzzi tub enclosure in a 1957 home. They had the demo done well before lunch and took to framing in to square in my cinder block wall home so the shower would be plumb and square. They worked meticulously to get ancient trap out, installing a new one before placing the pan in the newly plumbed trap. They also accommodated my request to run the panels to the ceiling giving me floor to ceiling protection in the new walk-in shower. Couldn't be more pleased with the service from sales to scheduling (2 weeks from contract to install) and the many crew that took part in my project, all professional, respecting covid protocols and cleaned up as if they were never here. Well done on all levels."

"EXCEPTIONAL! Thomas was able to come the same day. He diagnosed and fixed my problems within hours. Top notch. Personable, professional and quality work. Gives and explains his estimate up front and stays true to his word. Prices are very good. I will keep his contact info for myself and refer him to anyone who needs a licensed and experienced plumber."

"
My husband passed away and I knew that there was a bad place in 2 bathroom floors. Knew there were cracks in walls. It was like opening a can of worms in my 43 year old house. Mr. Gilbert (owner) and Mr. Daniels walked me through each repair and also what I wanted to remodel in order to sell my home. They were honest and consulted with me each day. I had family and friends who also helped with other items. Mr. Gilbert provided me with names for honest heat and air, plumbing, electrical . I moved out of my house for several months & stored some furniture to give them the room to work. I was patient as I knew he was "giving a recent widow" great pricing. I was smart enough to also use Angie's List to check out the contractors and get estimates or bids. My house shows like a "MAGAZINE!" Thank you Corky Gilbert"

Plumbing FAQs, answered by experts

For homes with a septic tank, harsh chemicals like those found in drain cleaner or bleach aren’t recommended. Some chemical drain cleaners can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the septic tank or damage your pipes. For homes with a septic tank, you can choose drain cleaners specifically formulated for use with septic tanks or go with a drain snake. When in doubt, make sure you know who to call for a clogged drain. 

Emergency plumbers charge a significantly higher rate than for standard service, typically 1.5 to 3 times the normal hourly cost. You can expect to pay between $100 and $500 per hour, with an average of around $200 per hour. In addition to the higher hourly rate, many plumbers charge a flat emergency service or trip fee, which can be between $150 and $300. The final cost depends on the timing of the call; prices are highest for major holidays, followed by weekends and after-hours service on weekdays. For a complex job on a major holiday, a master plumber's rate could reach as high as $600 per hour.

It costs anywhere from $150 to $850 to fix a pipe leak, but it could cost even more depending on the damage. The most common kind of pipe leaks, which happen from clogs or grease buildup, cost less than $300 to fix. A burst pipe tends to be the most expensive because it results in significant water damage. Expect to spend $400 to $1,500 to fix the pipe, plus $1,000 to $2,000 on water damage repair.

No, a larger well pressure tank will not increase or improve water pressure on its own. The pressure control on the well pump is what determines the water pressure in your home. However, a larger tank does offer other benefits. It can hold more water, allowing you to run it for longer before the pump needs to turn on. Because the pump cycles on and off less frequently, there is less stress and wear on the well system. This can lead to a longer lifespan for the pump and tank, and you may experience fewer pump-related issues that could affect your water pressure in the long run.

If you want to increase your water pressure, you can try one of the following solutions:

• Adjust the tank’s pressure settings to a higher PSI (pounds per square inch).

• Replace your current pump with one that has a higher flow rate (GPM).

• Install a water pressure booster pump in your plumbing system.

• For pressure fluctuations, consider replacing your current setup with a constant pressure system.

The clearest sign that something is wrong with your galvanized piping is if you can see rust or corrosion on the exterior. These indicate that the same problems are present on the inside of the pipes. You should contact a licensed plumber right away so that they can inspect your pipes. Other signs include poor performance of your gas appliances, high gas bills, and if your pipes are past the lifespan of 20 to 50 years.
