"The first time when my basement drain flooded, they cam with 2 staff, worked for 30 minutes and fixed the drain with no issues. The second time it was a first floor toilet- and the one guy came and fixed everything in 10 minutes. Both times their staff was friendly and didn't try to overcharge or recommend unnecessary work. "
"I contacted All County Drainage Contractors via the Angie's List messaging system. I got a timely response and a ballpark estimate for my job. Satisfied with the ball park estimate, I called and scheduled an appointment within the next week. Two individuals arrived at the expected time and we went over what I was hoping to have done. In addition, I asked a few questions about other plumbing concerns I had with our new home. They were very willing to answer my questions and take a look around. They even agreed to install an additional valve, since I had the parts and the installation would be very quick. Both the valve on the toilet and the additional ball valve were installed and the water in the house was turned back on. As of 2 weeks later, both installations seem to be working great. I would definitely call All County again for additional plumbing needs and would consider them for other services they provide."
"Perfect. Mike was on time, courteous, forthright, knowledgeable, informative, professional and Covid-19 appropriate (we’re older). Efficiently diagnosed plumbing leak specifically caused by dishwasher. Didn’t try to upsell me on anything—a pleasure to have in the house. Decided to have him do an upgrade on a toilet mechanism (my idea, not his). Very satisfied overall."
"They were professional and quick. It was a bit pricey in my opinion but most plumbing usually is. We had a clogged drain and they did a mechanical snake from the roof down the vent pipe for $450. They also threw in a 30 day warranty in case the snake didn't fully clear the block, which is reassuring. However, they were confident that the block was resolved. Toilets and shower are draining so it's looking like it worked. Would hire again."
"I hired J to initially take care of replacing an old basement toilet and to correct some bad light wiring from previous owners.
His work was excellent. He's personable, knowledgeable in many construction/trade craft areas and communicates well.
He also only books out a week or two in advance so you won't have months to wait.
All in all ..very pleased. We'll keep his number readily available for all future projects."
"Mr. White did an excellent job and provided superior service beyond any of the other 2 plumbers called for this incident. The first local one didn't do anything except say they couldn't do it. "we don't have a jet.". Mr. White, however, did clear the line considerably, and before he left, we knew exactly where the issue was and if it might be an issue again, what to do! He's a excellent person foremost and an awesome plumber too! I would hire him any time I have any type of issue, even beyond his proven work here for plumbing. He is very communicative, down-to-Earth, and knowledeable. He is an exceptional craftsman and I am glad to have met him despite the circumstances! Please have him give you a quote! You won't be sorry! Thanks again, Mr. White! Happy Holidays! -SFC Mike Gordon"
A toilet flange secures your toilet in place to the floor, and connects your toilet to the drain pipe that carries its contents to the sewer. Obvious signs that your flange needs replacement include when it can’t keep up with these two functions. If your toilet rocks back and forth or you see leaks coming from the bottom of your toilet, it’s time for a replacement. Other signs that your toilet flange is broken or faulty may include loose tiles or soft flooring around the toilet, and sewage smells.
Sometimes, your insurance policy may cover leaking toilet repair. However, home insurance policies typically do not cover any plumbing problems. They do cover water damage caused by a busted pipe or a major leak. Some insurance companies also have riders that expand your initial coverage to include plumbing items. Talk to your agent for more information.
Yes, you’ll need to replace your toilet’s wax seal any time you move the toilet. This is because movement of the toilet will break the seal, rendering the remaining wax useless. Thankfully, replacing a wax seal is fairly easy, and the seal itself only costs $2 to $10 at most home improvement stores.
When replacing a wax seal you typically also have to replace the closet bolts that secure the toilet to the flange. These are usually about 2.5" - 3" long and have to be cut once the toilet is secure. Cutting them usually makes them too short to reuse.
If you decide to replace the toilet flapper yourself, the only cost will be buying the new flapper for around $5 to $17. You can also hire a plumber or handyperson to take on the job instead, in which case you’ll pay an hourly rate for labor plus the cost of parts. Handypersons charge $50 to $150 per hour, while plumbers cost $45 to $200 per hour. This repair might take less than an hour for your pro, but note that many providers have a minimum rate for a house call.
It is okay to use a drain auger on a toilet, just make sure you are using the correct tip size. The auger is a plumbing snake with a protective sleeve to protect the porcelain toilet bowl from getting scratched. Using too large of an auger can cause the snake to loop back and damage the inside of the drain and plumbing.
