"Jesse was really wonderful - knowledgeable, understanding, and he had all of the necessary tools to get the job done. Our job required some snaking of pipes, and he also had a camera to put through the pipes to make sure that everything was clear. We appreciated Drain & Main's responsiveness to our request (same day), their friendliness, and their expeditious 'get it done' attitudes. We highly recommend Drain & Main Plumbing Co."

"Love HomeAdvisor! Boss Plumbing was great! Very professional but not stand-offish. They went above and beyond installing my hot water tank. The home advisor app would not let me make a payment. They drove my husband to the bank, he could only take out so much and it was my account. They drove BACK to my house to pick me up and went BACK to the bank! You do not find many people like that. Avi and Bachan are our new handymen! Ava F. Schenectady, NY"

Plumbing Handymen FAQs, answered by experts

Repairing an underground water leak is not easy, and it’s likely not a job for DIYers. To prevent further damage, underground water leaks require the skills of a trained plumber. Underground pipe repairs usually involve digging a trench, repairing or replacing the pipe, and then filling the trench back up. However, some contractors use trenchless repair methods to protect your lawn from looking like a battlefield.

There are quite a few telltale signs that you've got a leak. The most obvious ones are that water is pooling in parts of your home where it shouldn't, and the water bill is higher than normal. If you frequently hear unusual whistling noises coming from the pipes or experience a drop in water pressure, these are also signs the hose pipe burst.

While you shouldn’t increase the flow of your low-flow toilet by adjusting the water level in the toilet bowl set by the manufacturer, you can make the flow as efficient as possible by ensuring the rim jets under the rim are unobstructed. To do this, use a mirror to look under the rim and scrub them with a toothbrush or a small wire to clear any debris stuck in the holes. You can also watch for leaks, make sure the internal components are in good shape, and replace them if necessary.

Yes, polybutylene pipes absolutely need to be replaced. These pipes do not last long and pose major threats of leaks and bursts because they cannot withstand the elements found in municipal water, such as chlorine and fluoride. If your home still has any polybutylene pipes, hire a plumber right away to replace them with a better, more durable type of pipe.

Snakes can occasionally enter homes through shower drains, although it’s quite rare. This can happen when they follow sewer pipes or accidentally find their way into plumbing systems. To minimize the risk, consider installing drain covers or stoppers on your shower drains. Always keep drains closed when they’re not in use, especially in areas where snakes are known to be active.
