I am from out of town, but I was visiting my parents and staying at their house. While doing the evening dishes, the kitchen drain line clogged. Repeated attempts to unplug the clog were unsuccessful and, in the process, we discovered that we not only needed to have the line snaked, but the plumbing under the sink was so old and deteriorated that it required replacement. I chose Superior Plumbing Service based solely on their proximity and their rating on Angie's List, but we got so much more than we expected. I contacted them the morning after the clog, first thing, and they were able to work the job into their schedule for that afternoon. They arrived on time, performed the work flawlessly and professionally, cleaned everything up after the job was complete, and charged a very reasonable amount for their expertise and high quality results. With service, competence, and commitment of such high caliber, this company is a true keeper. I would recommend them, without reservation, to anyone in the area they serve. You really cannot go wrong.

Plumbing Handyman Service reviews from real Angi homeowners in New Durham, NH
We had Clukey Plumbing and heating do multiple jobs for us, from installing new piping for new bathrooms, faucets, new hot water heater and more. They are honest, hard working and timely and outstanding quality and communications. Highly recommend!
The plumber answered all of my questions the previous day over the telephone. He arrived the next morning promptly to begin the work. He was very knowledgeable about what he was doing. He was very friendly.

Patriot was established by four industry leaders with over 50 years of collective experience. Drawing from extensive collaboration with major home improvement corporations, we developed a strategic vision that culminated in the formation of Patriot. Our motivation stemmed from identifying inefficiencies within prominent home improvement firms and their impact on everyday consumers. At Patriot, our mission is rooted in a commitment to serve the community.
"Patriot Bath Remodeling (PBR) provided excellent craftsmanship, excellent quality of materials, and excellent communications for my bathroom remodel. I had a very small, dingy, claustrophobic shower (32" x32") in a very cramped bathroom (6' x 6') that was in desperate need of replacement. PBR took the time to understand my needs and the restrictions of the room and transformed the area. PBR coordinated all details of the project from getting permits, to delivery of materials, and to scheduling the plumbers, floor installers, and electrician. Every workman was talented, courteous and professional; best of all they showed upon time and made every effort to minimize the unavoidable mess caused by remodeling in a very old house. I HIGHLY recommend these folks!!! You won’t regret it!!

Plumbing Handymen questions, answered by experts
Yes, the toilet and sink can share the same vent, as can the shower. It’s common to have one main vent pipe for multiple fixtures, although you might need a larger pipe. You should check with local building and plumbing codes to confirm you’ll have adequate piping for your home.
You can use normal solder, which consists of a tin and copper alloy, on copper pipes. You should avoid using leaded solder, especially if you're soldering together water supply lines, as it will contaminate drinking water. One way to test if your copper pipes contain lead is to scrape off the solder. If the scraped area is shiny, it likely contains lead.
You may have to dig out drain valves if they are buried under dirt. This method isn’t ideal, and it increases the chance of clogs and damage. Ideally, a drip irrigation system buries drain valves in a gravel pocket so they are easier to access and better-protected. If you have trouble accessing drain valves, hire a sprinkler professional to find them safely and efficiently.
Try to tighten the clevis crew and adjust the lift rod if your sink stopper won’t stay up. Sometimes your screws became too loose over time, and as a result, there wasn’t enough resistance to keep the sink stopper up. If a damaged lift rod is the cause of the problem, you will need to replace it with a new rod.
Once the outside weather drops below 32 degrees, your pipes are at risk of freezing. Adjusting—or lowering—the thermostat is a common practice before going to bed or when leaving the house. If you want to keep your pipes from freezing, keep the thermostat set at no less than 55 degrees (so long as temperatures are below freezing).
