"I hired Do It Right Plumbing for the first time today. They arrived promptly, early even and were very down to earth, knowledgable and their price was reasonable. I felt comfortable having them in my home and would hire these pros again any day. Thanks Dylan and Steve. My toilet works again!"
"They got here when they said they would, finished when they said they would. They did some extra adjusting of fixtures for us. We called them to come back for another plumbing issue that we noticed!"
"I hired Bennett to replace my gas water heater. He was prompt and thorough when he came out to give me a quote, he made sure I knew all my different options, and he helped me understand the reasons behind suggestions he made. Things that gave me confidence in Bennett were that he listened well, leaned on his network of experienced plumbers to get a second opinion on a tricky setup, was extremely fair with his pricing, and in the end his recommendation was a replacement-in-kind rather than an upgrade since it was more in line with my needs, which showed me that he put the customer first! Great experience working with Bennett overall."
"This is the second project we had Nick do in our house in 10 months. This time we remodel the main bathroom and the kitchen. For kitchen, new granite countertops were installed over the original cabinets as well as new custom backsplash. Both came out great! I must note since Nick custom cut out the space for the cooktop on-site, there are no annoying seams around the cooktop that I have seen in many other homes. Attention to details is definitely Nick's strength. For bathroom, we replace all the plumbing, countertop, vanity mirrors, lights, hardware, and toilet. New wall and floor tiles were also installed. Just like the last project, Nick and his team did an expert job in remodeling the bathroom and we couldn't be happier with the results. Frameless glass door was also installed over the tub that display the wonderful tiles. Nick's price is extremely competitive and his service is the best in the area. He let you use his contractor's discount with the local suppliers where you purchase the materials directly without any markup (and get exactly what you want). Quality of the tile works is truly superb that we are really impressed. His crew cleanup the work area at the end of each day during the project and keep everything neat and clean. We are very happy with the results and would highly recommend Nick for any kitchen and bathroom remodeling projects."
"The crew of 5 did a great job installing a new Cummins generator. They had to run a new gas line from the meter, through the basement and out to the backyard. Also had to reroute many electrical connections. The generator activates twice a month for 20 minutes. All automatic. They installed a wifi connection from the generator to Anderson. Price was much lower than quotes from local plumbing companies who were mostly offering an inferior product. Cummins is highly recommended for cold climates."
"I had to have my pipe coming into my home replace in a very small crawl space. I had someone not show up and another quote me almost twice Greg's price. Greg came in on a Sunday and had the job done by Monday evening."
"Don was very nice and knowledgeable. Job was completed after the needed part was ordered and received. I would call Don again if I should need any other repairs."
"We were thrilled with our contractor. He offered us many great ideas,ON TIME! Extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain things. We had him completely gut the kitchen and install ceiling, walls, electrical, plumbing, floors, kitchen cabinets, countertops and appliances. We were so satisfied with his work that we asked him to move onto our bathroom with a soaker tub. The tiling was beautiful! Then again, we asked if he could gut, insulate and remodel the entrance room to the kitchen, again, beautiful. We finally had to part ways but I can tell you if there are other things to be done in this house( which there are!). We would hire him again! He is a very hard worker who likes to do the job correctly and very easy to talk to. I have hired contractors in the past that would never live up to his standards!"
Yes, ammonia does damage pipes if used or disposed of improperly. Although ammonia-based cleaners are commonly used to unclog drain pipes, they either come already diluted or instruct the user to dilute them before use. Otherwise, undiluted ammonia is too caustic and could corrode certain plumbing types, such as PVC.
If you don’t want to remove the sink stopper, pour ½ cup of baking soda and 2 cups of boiling water down the drain. Start by pouring 1 cup of boiling water, then the baking soda, followed by the remaining cup of boiling water. Use caution as boiling water can damage PVC or other plastic piping. Using a scrub brush or slightly abrasive sponge, clean the top of the stopper, and run the faucet to ensure the drain is clear and the stopper is clean.
Frost-free faucets are a smart idea if you live in a region that sees freezing temperatures. These specially designed faucets are typically insulated and feature a shut-off within the house. When temperatures drop, you’ll close the outdoor spigot so that freezing water doesn’t sit in the fixture and cause it to split or crack during cold weather.
Clean regularly with non-abrasive cleaners, avoid pouring grease down the drain, and check for leaks under the sink.
The cost to hire a plumber ranges from $175 to $450 for a simple job, with the average cost per hour ranging from $45 to $200. Depending on the job, some plumbers charge a flat rate or service fee of $300 on average. Expect to pay more for complex jobs and emergency plumbing repairs, but minor adjustments, diagnostics, and small repairs will cost less.
Many plumbers offer pressure checks as a part of routine inspections, so if you’re already scheduling a plumbing service for another issue, it’s worth asking them to test your water pressure while they’re there.
