"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."
"Nick and his team were amazing. We had our bathroom remodeled and they went above and beyond to make it beautiful. What I most appreciated about working with them was how professional, communicative and respectful they were. Our family loves our new bathroom and I would absolutely hire Nick again for future projects."
"We hired Kevin to redo our bathroom. He finished the drywall, installed the tub shower with panel walls, tile floor, installed the toilet, installed the vanity, and hung the mirror. There were many great conversations between us about plans before work began and he was very helpful with bouncing ideas back and forth. We really relied on his experience with installing other bathrooms when making decisions. We also wanted a partial wall on one side of the tub to let in natural light in the shower and he worked with us to get it just right. The paneling he used in the shower is very nice and something you wont find at a box store. We LOVE IT! We were thinking tile but Kevin mentioned the paneling was easier to maintain but we were sure since we didnt like what weve seen at the box stores for paneling. We trusted his judgement and chose the basket weave (if I recall that right) with a matte finish. Again, we used his experience when picking the color of the shelves and even the color of the tub. There were so many choices but we felt like his experience really helped us make good decisions, everything looks so nice all together. Were also glad we chose the paneling, its so nice. He was also right; it is very easy to clean. It is our favorite part of the bathroom. Kevin also recommended extending the paneling to the ceiling and we love that recommendation too! Such a small detail but when youre in the shower it feels so large. Between the feeling of it being large in a very small bathroom and the quality of the tub and panels, you feel like youre on vacation, a little getaway. He also helped us customize the shelves in the shower and helped us decide the spacing the shelves. there are so many decisions to be made when remodeling a bathroom and Kevin helped us when we were not what we should chose. Kevin helped us by visually showing us where he could place them. We really felt like our experience was customized and didnt work with someone who is just going through the motions to get things done quickly, very refreshing. Kevin really focused on details and the results really show this in the quality of his work. We also love the insulated tub he recommended, when we give our daughter her bath, it stays warm much longer. We love our tile floors too. We had already gotten the floor before hiring Kevin but he showed us different options by laying them out for us, which made the decision easier by seeing the options in the actual space. Keven worked at a great pace and we asked him to do some additional work as a result of his great work. He helped us with installing our kitchen sink and dishwasher, as well as, finishing up some other drywall and plumbing in the house. We highly recommend Kevin from Patriarch Remodeling! He is so personable without it distracting him from his work. He cleaned up everything and our bathroom was ready to be used when he was done. We get so many compliments on our bathroom and I know youll love his work too!"
"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."
"The tech came in, knew exactly what the problem was, and went right to work. Took the freezer unit apart, chip the ice out of it, and had to use hot water to defrost the drain hole. Took him 40 minutes. Unit works perfectly now. Would definitely use this company again!"
Homeowners insurance may cover shower pan leaks, but it depends on the type of coverage you’re looking for. Typically, home insurance policies cover sudden or accidental water damage, for example, if it comes from a busted pipe or malfunctioning appliance. Damage to a shower pan is usually gradual. A repair or replacement of your shower pan usually won’t be covered by your policy. If your shower pan leak causes water damage, chances are your standard policy—if it includes water damage—will cover the repair.
Switching to city water from well water requires running a private main service line from the closest main city line to your home. When comparing well water versus city water, city water is routinely tested and readily available but can be more expensive than well water.
A sewer cleanout typically looks like a white or gray PVC pipe with a removable cap. It's often located either in your yard or basement, depending on your home's plumbing configuration. The cleanout pipe is designed to provide easy access to your sewer system for maintenance and inspections. It may be flush with the ground or slightly elevated, making it distinguishable from other pipes. When you remove the cap, you can access the sewer line directly or determine its direction, which can be helpful when you need to locate your sewer line from your house to the street.
Yes, a bigger well pump can increase water pressure—up to a point. If you currently have a well pump of 8 GPM, you might notice a pressure boost when you go up to 10 GPM. However, overshooting significantly (going up to 15 GPM for an 8 GPM home) can strain your well system and result in things like burst pipes that can decrease your water pressure and make for costly repairs.
The normal water level in a toilet bowl is about halfway full. The water should sit above the P trap drain because this creates a seal and suction. When you flush the toilet, the suction keeps sewer gases from entering your house through your toilet. Anytime the water level is higher or lower than half full, you need to make adjustments or replace broken parts.
