"Christian and his assistant were very polite and considerate, and on time, and did their best to accommodate my chemical sensitivity. They found less expensive and chemical-free ways to do the work. They came back on Saturday to fix a leak by replacing a pop-up. I was very happy with their thoughtfulness and their work."

"The job that was performed went exceptionally well. I didn't have a pick-up truck to retrieve the water heater from a local store, he went over to the store and picked it up for me. He removed the old one and installed the new one. He also cleaned up the water that leaked over when emptying the old one. I called Affordable Plumbing in the morning and he was right over with in the hour. He hooked up my water line for the evaporative cooler while he was here. The cost was much less than what I had anticipated, a whole lot less. I'm satisfied and thankful. He's upfront with cost and no hidden fees. I would definitely recommend Art Villalobos for plumbing  needs. I will use his services in the future.

"Mr. Stressler was very easy to work with, and he did everything asked of him. His work met all of my expectations and specifications. Should I need any further remodeling, I would not hesitate to call Mr. Stressler. In category below asking for dates of service. But due to my travels, work was done in increments: master bath, kitchen, guest bathroom, and then in June a one day outside job in which a new door was put on a storage unit, and my security door was given a new coat of paint."

"Jill was very pleasant to work with, taking care to assure that specifications were clear & and our preferences were respected.
She provided two complete design layouts as options to choose from before further design work was done. After one was selected, she provided great ideas for furnishings (with distinct measurements,)
appropriate for the setting , accessories, and even paint colors, and samples to work with.
It was a great help to have her assist me, giving me confidence to move forward with furnishing our new home.
I would never have anticipated that one could be so effective with design via email!
Very pleased with results!

Plumbing Handymen questions, answered by experts

Most of the time, homeowners are responsible for replacing a main water shut-off valve. This is because the property owner also owns the water service line from the shut-off valve near their property line to their house. That means they must maintain, repair, or replace it when needed.

Whether an earthquake gas shut-off valve is required depends on your location and circumstances. Certain cities, states, and even insurance providers mandate them, especially in areas with high seismic activity. In California, for example, while laws vary by county, most jurisdictions require a valve to be installed in newly constructed homes or when a home is sold or renovated. The Los Angeles Municipal Code specifically requires a licensed contractor for installation. Even if not required by law, installing a seismic shut-off valve is a wise safety measure. These devices automatically cut off the flow of gas during an earthquake, which can prevent gas leaks, fires, and explosions. It is recommended to check with your local building department for specific laws regarding installation, permitting, and inspections, and to ensure the valve you install is on your city's list of approved models.

You can try a few things to figure out where a water leak is coming from. Check all of your appliances and fixtures, make sure the water pressure is normal on your faucets, and look for signs of water damage. Some signs of a leaky pipe include water stains on ceilings and walls, paint or wallpaper that starts bubbling, a musty smell, or visible signs of mold.

Repairing an underground water leak is not easy, and it’s likely not a job for DIYers. To prevent further damage, underground water leaks require the skills of a trained plumber. Underground pipe repairs usually involve digging a trench, repairing or replacing the pipe, and then filling the trench back up. However, some contractors use trenchless repair methods to protect your lawn from looking like a battlefield.

While plumber’s tape is a great solution for many plumbing problems, there are some times when it’s not the right product for the job at hand. 

You shouldn’t use plumber’s tape on pipe connections in any of the following scenarios:

  • When connecting PVC pipes

  • If the pipe has wide threads, as water can still leak through the space between the threads

  • If the pipe has very tight threads, as the tape would prevent a proper connection

  • If the pipe threads are damaged, which would prevent the tape from providing a watertight seal

If your predicament is similar to any of these, a licensed plumber can help you solve the problem.
