"This group was hired by repipe to repipe my house and they did an outstanding job! I am a very picky person but I was very satisfied with their work not to mention the extras that were put in to bring my house up to code as a courtesy! I rate them as five stars and would recommend them to anyone that needs work done. They were courteous and very respectful towards my premises."
"The entire process was very professional and stress free. The technicians, Ivan and Jake, were knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The area where the repair was done is all rock with a river rock stream running through it. When they were done it looked like not a rock was ever moved. Excellent job. I recommend Hawthorne Plumbing to all."
"Two years ago Riley Plumbing and Heating replaced the corroded galvanized water pipe from the street meter to my house, so I was very surprised to have another water leak in the back yard last month. Riley Plumbing came out again, and found that the new leak was due to another corroded galvanized pipe that was supplying water to the back yard irrigation system. They replaced this pipe, tying the water supply to the irrigation system to the water line they installed two years ago. Mike Rojas, Luis Ortiz and Aiden did the work in a professional manner, and left the back yard in good shape for re-seeding this fall. (Hopefully no more corroded pipes in my yard!)"
"Responded extremely fast to my inquiry, was out the next day for an estimate and a couple days later fixed our closet. Turned out amazing, very nice, quick and good to work with!"
General handyman things, light electrical, landscaping, painting, plumbing and pretty much anything else. I also know my limits, so if there is something I am not 100% certain I can do up to standards then I will be honest. Cost is always negotiable with me.
"I will never call another plumbing company! Mike and Matt were awesome. They were friendly, knowledgeable and quick. They got the job done perfectly in under an hour. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for plumbing."
The likely culprit is an air lock somewhere in your pipes. This is especially true if the warm water upstairs is accompanied by a decline in water flow. Other causes of this issue include frozen pipes, leaks, damaged supply lines, and more. There’s a simple DIY fix to try for air locks: Turn the hot water and cold water faucets on for a minute, then turn off the cold water and then the hot water. Repeat this process two or three times.
Building codes don’t allow homeowners or businesses to run sewer pipes and water lines in the same trench for safety and environmental purposes. If the sewer line started leaking, it would risk contaminating the water supply to your house, which threatens the health of you and your family. These lines need to be in separate trenches and may need to be separated both horizontally by around 5 to 10 or more feet and vertically by 12 to 18 or more inches.
Pedestal sinks typically come with two pieces: the pedestal (also known as the base or pole) and the sink basin. You may hear it referred to as a standalone sink. The sink sits on top of the pedestal, which attaches to the floor and hides the plumbing. Both pieces usually come in porcelain or ceramic.
Running hot water through frozen pipes can help thaw them, but it's not always a guaranteed solution. To prevent pipes from freezing in the first place, it’s crucial to open the hot and cold faucets connected to the frozen pipes and allow a slow, steady stream of water to flow. Additionally, applying gentle heat using a hairdryer or heat tape can expedite the thawing process. If the pipes remain frozen, professional assistance may be necessary to prevent damage.
A professional drain cleaner is a plumber or specialized drain cleaner with the necessary tools to unclog drains and tiles to keep waste water flowing out to the septic tank or city sewer for processing. Keeping wastewater from backing up into your home helps keep you and your family safe from potential contamination and sickness. These pros can help resolve nearly any drain situation in a safe and efficient manner.
