"We had an emergency plumbing situation on a Sunday, and Capital Region Plumbing came to the rescue the same day—with no extra fee just to show up! The owner was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and professional. He walked me through everything before starting, and again after finishing, so I understood exactly what was done. He discovered a major issue and managed to fix everything that day. They replaced my hot water tank, water main shut-off, and all related plumbing and fixtures for the shower—and got everything outside of the shower plumbing and fixtures done between 5pm and 10pm, including having to go get all the materials they needed in that time frame. His employee was just as thorough and respectful, taking the time to explain and show me each step. They returned the next morning to finish the shower work, and even had someone pick up the old water tank before 9am. This level of care, transparency, and efficiency is rare—plus, they were very reasonably priced."

"We were very pleased with the job that Sam and Mike did on raising and stabilizing our pool pump house. Very professional and easy to talk with when voicing any concerns we had about the process. Having had such a good experience, we would most likely contact Adirondack Basement Systems if we have any further issues with sinking concrete. We rate them a 5+ for service and professionalism."

"Rome Bath Remodeling recently installed a new shower in our home that was built in 1938. Knowing full well that it would not be an easy job, Phil and Dave took on the challenge and did an exceptional job. They kept us informed throughout the process and the shower is beautiful! Thanks to both of you!"

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Yes, copper pipes freeze at temperatures of 20 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. In fact, copper pipes are more likely to freeze than other piping types since they conduct energy and lose heat quickly. They’re also more difficult to insulate, since insulation may make it difficult for heat to reach the pipes during sudden surges of cold weather.

The main causes for a leaky toilet flapper include wear and tear or a broken or incorrectly installed toilet flapper chain. If your toilet flapper is torn or deteriorated, it can’t provide a proper seal to keep water from running. Meanwhile, a chain that has come loose, was moved, or just wasn’t installed right can prevent your flapper from fully closing.

Yes, shower water goes into the septic tank. Shower water is a type of greywater, and in fact, all water used in a home with a septic system—including water from sinks, toilets, the dishwasher, and the washing machine—drains into the tank. When shower water enters the tank, debris like soap and hair travels with it. The solid debris sinks to the bottom to become sludge, while soap residue joins the scum layer at the top. The remaining water is treated in the tank before moving to the drain field for further treatment and dispersal. It is important to avoid putting oil or harsh chemicals down any drain, as they can cause clogs or disrupt the beneficial bacteria required for proper wastewater management in the septic system.

The air admittance valve, or AAV, is a spring-loaded mini-vent that sits right next to your washer. It acts in place of a standard vent stack connection, opening to let air into the drain whenever pressure builds up. It otherwise stays closed to prevent sewer gas from escaping into your home. This gives the washer’s plumbing system the air it needs when water enters or drains.

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.
