"I don't often leave reviews, but I still feel taken advantage of by this company. Let me start by saying that the man who came to my house was very nice, professional, friendly, etc. That was not my issue. My issue is that they charge 49 dollars to come out (fully advertised) but still it puts you in a spot that once they give you a quote you have already "dumped" 49 dollars to get them there so you are more likely to say yes. The guy went down and informed me he had to cut through the drywall to get to the pipe, which I knew. I didn't have the right tool to do it and they came quickly. I figured how much could it cost to cut a 3x3 foot hole in my wall? Well, I found out. He quoted me 150.00 dollars. I knew that was a lot, but he said he was going to bill for 3/4 of an hour (45mins), but assured me it would "not take that long." I went down to the basement to watch and it took about 3 minutes. So here I was at 200.00 dollars and all that had actually been accomplished was a hole in my wall. He then quoted me the job and it was an additional 355.00 dollars. This is when I said "thanks, but no thanks." I tried to give a coupon of 25 dollars off "service," but was informed that he didn't actually perform a service. I guess charging me 150 dollars to cut drywall isn't considered a service. So 200.00+ dollars later I was left with a 3x3 hole in my drywall and had to call another plumber to finish the job (for half the price). Friendly service, prompt service, but couldn't help but feel I had been taken for a ride."

"Robert arrived promptly when he said he would, and replaced a faulty shut-off valve. He then noticed a slow leak at a connection my utility company installed, and repaired that as well. All for the price he originally quoted me. I would recommend Robert's Plumbing Service without reservation. From now on, he's the go-to guy for all my plumbing needs."

"Mr. Narine showed up on time, did a thorough job of diagnosing my issue (Leaking in bathroom) and did a great job of repairing it. Easy to work with and really reasonably priced. Have had him come back for a second bathroom leak in different apt. Did another great job. Have a few other projects, will definitely call him back."

"They took their time and were extremely thorough in trying to find out what was wrong with our toilet. When they found the leak, they explained why it was leaking and how we can prevent it from happening again. Highly recommended!"

"Excellent Service! I highly recommend the Capitol Region Plumbing and Heating Services LLC! Avi, and Sean came to my home immediately when I needed their help with bathroom plumbing and a water pump system. They were courteous, knowledgeable, and thoroughly evaluated the problems. Their excellent assessment and quality of work were evident as I looked at their pictures of before and after replacements of PVC pipes for main sewer lines, sink and shower drains, and water lines for the toilet. Also, Avi and Sean installed a new well pump and pressure tank system. They even came to my home on a holiday to assure me that I'd have water. As true professionals, Avi, and Sean are efficient, punctual, and reputable. Their work ethic is commendable and gracious manners are exceptional. This was an incredible plumbing service that everyone expects and appreciates!"

"Best call I've made. These guys not only showed up when they said they would, they did an AMAZING job replacing broken aged pipes, replacing damaged subfloor, installing new pipes under the bathroom sink into the basement, and replaced my kitchen faucet. I don't know that I've met someone with the passion behind their mission like Rotterdam Renovations. We need more contractors like this in rotterdam!"

Toilets questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can have a toilet without a septic tank. However, it will have to be a composting toilet. Composting toilets work similarly to aerobic septic systems in that the waste, which sits in a separate compartment below the toilet itself, is slowly broken down by aerobic bacteria. These toilets typically have a vent to get rid of harmful gasses with a fan, which requires a battery. You will have to dispose of waste in the toilet manually every three weeks to every three months, depending on how many people are using the toilet.

Yes, you can fill your toilet tank manually to help it flush, or you can pour the water directly into the bowl to flush it manually. This will work for the majority of toilets, as most use a gravity feed system. However, you should only ever use this as a temporary solution. If your toilet tank isn’t filling, you should find out why. First, make sure the speedy valve connected to your toilet and your water main are open. If that doesn’t solve the issue, call in a professional to address the problem.

Left unattended, a leaking toilet will eventually cause water damage or mold growth. If you’re a homeowner, you can file an insurance claim for water damage. However, that can be a long and tedious process; sometimes, your insurance company may not cover the damage. Therefore, it’s always best to fix any leak you notice right away if you can.

Many homeowners stress about cleaning before an emergency plumber arrives, but you’re far better off doing the following while you wait for your plumber to get to your home:

  • Shut the water off at your water main if you have a leak or a burst pipe 

  • Avoid using any water fixtures in your home, including appliances

  • Clear a path to the problem area so that it’s easily accessible 

  • Consider shutting your breaker if you’re concerned that the leak may affect your electrical system

The toilet should rest 10, 12, or 14 inches from the back wall. As for other clearances, 15 inches is the minimum distance from the flange to any side wall or nearby fixture, including the shower, tub, and sink. Modern codes also require at least 24 inches of clear space in front of the toilet.
