"The team came in and did a great job. John and Travis were very professional when working with what we wanted. Phill and team did a very professional job of installing the new shower, tub and vanities. I would definitely have them do more projects if I have them available."
"Wow, just absolutely wow! We purchased a home in West Fargo, ND. in February 2022, from a less than honest individual, who had covered up and failed to disclose the home had basement water/foundation issues. After interviewing several companies, we chose Innovative Basement Authority (IBA) to set things right. Their product is state of the art and well worth the investment. The project began August 28 and was completed on schedule, as promised. The Foreman (Jacob D.) and crew (Leonard S., Mike B., Zach B., and Brandon C.) were a consummate group of professionals. They were conscientious, knowledgeable, friendly and above all courteous. We highly recommend IBA, their products/services and most especially the crew mentioned above."
"Thanks to Brady for getting me into a great window project! Mine was broken and leaking snow into the house and Your Home Improvement Co. saved the day! The install went smooth and the continued service after showed they keep taking care of you well after they install. Thanks again!"

"From start to finish, Kevin and his crew are the best in the business. Very thorough communication and seeing things through to the end. Kevin is very attentive to concerns and very reassuring. Nobody in this company’s line of work could possibly match what drain services has going on. They have a great culture. Strongly recommend."
"They couldn't deliver, they specified items that after months of waiting, they could never deliver. In the mean time, they directed me to have plumbing rough and done, and then when they couldn't deliver the system for which the plumbing was done, I now have to spend several thousand dollars having the plumbing redone for another system that I found out on my own. The design was okay, some of their ideas were spot on, some of them were way off but ultimately they just couldn't deliver after holding $10,000 of my money for over 2 months. I am currently in a dispute with them with American Express because they still haven't credited me back the money I paid them to purchase things that they never delivered."
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.
If you’ve accessed the bolts and nuts that hold your toilet seat in place and can’t unscrew them, it’s possible that they were overtightened or that the material corroded over time, making it impossible to unscrew. If that’s the case, you can either call in a plumber for help, or you can DIY a solution if you’re careful. Lay down masking tape around the mounting bracket and then use the tape as a surface to lay a hack saw blade. Move slowly to cut through the bracket and bolt, being careful not to damage the porcelain in the process.
To keep your plumbing vents from freezing, start by insulating your pipes with foam or fiberglass sleeves to help maintain their temperature. For an extra layer of security, use heat tape, which acts as a personal heater to keep your pipes warm even when temperatures drop. Additionally, you should regularly check your vent cap to make sure it’s free from leaves and debris that can block the airflow. A clean, unobstructed vent cap is crucial for maintaining proper ventilation that will keep your plumbing vents from freezing and the plumbing system running smoothly.
If your pipes are suddenly making loud noises, it could be due to any of the aforementioned issues. A water hammer is a common cause of this problem. Other potential causes include water pressure issues, loose pipes, air bubbles, and worn-out fixtures. Mineral buildup in the pipes can also cause loud noises.
Baking soda and vinegar aren’t just great for making a volcano for your kid’s science project. You can also pour this dynamic duo down your shower drain to dissolve hair clogs. If that doesn’t do the trick, you can step it up with a commercial liquid drain cleaner.
