"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."

"Paul Norton who installed my Tub surround was extremely professional. He ran into plumbing problems, which he handled swiftly and efficiently. He checked everything before he left, water, and cleaned up and even swept the floor. Very impressed with Bath Fitters."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

When positioning a pot filler, it should be mounted at a height that allows for convenient access without obstructing the cooking area. A general guideline is to place it 18 to 24 inches above the stove. For a more customized height, measure your most-used pots and install the filler 5 to 10 inches above your tallest one. Regarding horizontal placement, while centering the pot filler can be aesthetically pleasing and ensure it reaches all burners, it is often safer to install it to the left or right of the cooking surface. This placement helps you avoid reaching over a hot stove and reduces the risk of the filler itself getting hot from a large boiling pot. If you do choose to center it, be careful to avoid burns.

Putting caulk around a toilet’s base where it touches the flooring can help hold the toilet in place. A more effective way is using caulk with plastic shim wedges. Place the shims underneath the base to steady and stabilize the toilet. Add some caulk to help keep the shims in place and provide a stronger and more lasting stabilization effect.

Chemical drain cleaners can work to clear clogs in pipes, but their use should be approached with caution. These harsh chemicals can damage pipes over time, and they can also harm the environment. Use them sparingly and consider alternative methods such as using a plunger or a drain snake. If you have concerns about a persistent clog, it's best to consult a professional who can safely and effectively address the issue without causing further damage to your plumbing system.

Hire a licensed plumber to install plumbing vents, including the main vent stack, even though it goes through the roof. If you’re concerned about leaks on your roof, call a roofer after the job is done to ensure everything looks functional. A roofer can also install a roof vent pipe cover to prevent debris buildup and clogs.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.
