"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

While there is no specific “best” method to clear hair out of a drain, several options work well. Using a combination of baking soda and vinegar to dissolve the hair clog is a great and easy way to help clear the drain. Drain snakes are also effective for more severe clog buildups. 

Although linear drains allow water to flow quickly and efficiently, they tend to clog more easily than traditional drains. Linear drains are flush with the shower floor, allowing soap scum and hair to potentially build up. They’re also longer than other drains, allowing for more space to let debris fall into the drainpipe. 

An underground water leak will most likely show signs of water damage in the basement. If you have a concrete foundation, look for frizzle lines and discoloration on the walls. Sometimes, you may be able to feel the moisture with direct touch. Also, if your basement smells musty or moldy, you might have an underground water leak that’s causing mold to form.

No, they are two different things. Some tanks have a pressure relief valve built in. The purpose of this valve is to prevent the rupturing of the water heater due to pressure generated during the heating process. An expansion tank redirects water from the heater tank to relieve pressure so while they have the same purpose—alleviating pressure—the expansion tank is the only item actually redirecting water. 

Minor fixes, like leak repairs, are manageable DIY projects; however, major replacements usually require professional services to ensure safety.
