"All Trades Plumbing and Construction saved the day! We were mid project on two bathroom remodels when sadly our existing plumbers business folded. All Trades Plumbing was highly recommended to me from a friend and for a good reason! great communication, turn up when stated, outstanding quality of work and a follow up service like no other. Both bathrooms were finished to perfection. They also found time to install a new water heater and a full house filtration system. The quality of the plumbing was just outstanding. Being a contractor for 20 years i know good work/service when I see it. Definitely the best at what they do and top of their game. I Can’t say enough good things about them."

"I was pleased with every aspect of the service provided. He came the day before a holiday, brought the new water heater with him, removed the old one and installed the new one in a very short time. He was even willing to give my son some advice on a faucet change out my son was working on. The price was very reasonable and the plumber was friendly and responsive. I am thrilled to have found my forever plumber!!"

Plumbing FAQs, answered by experts

Plumbers use a variety of tools to help unclog the toughest of drain clogs, but the most common tools they use are drain snakes and augers. They try a plunger or drain snake to start, then move to heavy-duty augers, and finally try using a hydro jetter to blast away the clog with high-pressure water. Hiring a plumber to unclog a drain costs $125 to $300, largely depending on the extent and location of the clog and which of these methods is best for clearing it.

You can use a water gauge to check that water pressure, which should be between 40 and 60 PSI. If you don’t have a water gauge, you can also time how long your showerhead takes to fill up a 1-liter container. If it takes longer than 6 seconds, you’re dealing with a case of low water pressure.

Boiling water helps unclog a drain, but usually only with a harder abrasive such as baking soda or vinegar. On its own, it isn’t the most effective tool. In addition, you shouldn’t use boiling water if you have PVC pipes, as it can soften or melt them. Use a plunger or enlist the help of a pro if you have plastic pipes.

Replacing a shower drain P-trap costs $150 to $250 for parts and labor. Costs increase to $350 or more if your shower drain assembly is difficult to access or requires more work (like replacing pipes and fittings). If you’re a knowledgeable DIYer, a new P-trap costs $10 to $45.

No, they have multiple designs. Choosing a bathroom fixture will depend in large part on the current configuration you have. You will want to pick a model that matches the faucet holes currently in your sink, countertop, or wall. If you want to make a complete changeover, you may need to buy and install a new vanity and sink at the same time you purchase your faucet.
