"The service I received was great. I called about a bathroom sink clog and leak. Jacob was here within the hour to give me an estimate. After checking out the issue he was able to do the job right then. Took him less than an hour to do. Sink is working great no more leak or clog and the price was very affordable. I would absolutely use his service again and recommend to family and friends."

"After having a complete system installed over 10 years ago. I had an Issue with water coming in thru a basement window. Thinking I was going to have a confrontation getting it fixed I was pleasantly surprised when Tim said they would replace my outside window well. Tony and Corey had job completed in less than a day. Tim and crew are top notch."

"Beware of the sales pitch, they keep stacking on deductions if you sign that day.
On completion of the installation, the bathroom looks great, but there were problems due to previous owners hidden wall once the old tub was removed. My concerns were that the installer and myself had different goals. He wanted to complete the job and I wanted choices. I lost. When we ran into problems and I asked what my options were, his responses were always and quot;I haven't decided yet.and quot;
The wrong tub size was ordered because of the false wall and I asked, and quot;Well it's just a tub, can we put in the right size?and quot; Didn't happen, and no options were offered. Options I thought of later such as 1. stop installation and order the right size; or 2. push the tub back two inches and give more floor space. Instead, a false 2 inch plywood wall was built behind the tub.
Another problem was the tub itself. I order the 17 inch high model thinking I would have more depth from my old 15 inch tub. Not so. Beware of inside tub not being the same depth as outside tub due to support feet under the tub of aproximate 2 1/2 inches. A 17and quot; tub measure 13 1/2and quot; on the shallow side and 14 1/2and quot; on the drain side. Plus the drain hole drops the actual water depth to 10 1/2 inches at the deeper end. This was not pointed out to me before purchase. In my opinion this is a manufacture flaw. The installer helped my out by plugging the drain hole.
I had to search and purchase the new floor tile. I made the right choice and it looks georgous. It was a hard job installing it because the old sub-flooring needed to be removed to match the curve of the previous wall tiles. A lot of unexpected dust. After two days dry time, I applied a sealer. However there were cracks in the grout after two weeks. Ken came back and fixed it and I applied the sealer again.
The third problem I had was a squeaky wall. Apparently the acrylic wall by the head rest was not sealed properly and it sqeeks when I use the tub and rest my head. Ken came back and tried to fix it by inserting foam behind the tub but was not successful. At least it's not a visable defect.
All in all my advice would be take your time and explore other options. Maybe I could have chosen all tile walls instead of acrylic and paid the same price. Go to your tile store and ask their advice before you sign with anyone. They might have more options. However my bathroom looks great and it will serve me for many more years and it is a step-up from what I had."

"I hired this company to replace a sump pump. The cost of $400 was quite high but given that I am not plumbing capable i had to do it. The installation was quick and the technician was good. His work was less than excellent as he did not secure the power cord or dispose of the old unit."

Plumbing FAQs, answered by experts

Several factors influence the timeline for plumbing in Fostoria. Projects requiring permits demand multiple visits for mandatory rough-in and final inspections. Local clay soils and older cast iron pipes often hide unexpected damage, forcing additional work sessions. Furthermore, deep winter ground freezing makes exterior excavation difficult, meaning underground work requires heavy equipment and spans multiple days.

Helpful?

Delaying necessary plumbing creates severe property hazards. Postponing sewer lateral repairs through a winter freeze-thaw cycle causes complete pipe collapse in Fostoria clay soils. Ignoring vulnerable pipes before winter guarantees a burst pipe event, leading to structural damage and mold growth. Furthermore, neglected basement leaks cause hydrostatic pressure buildup against your foundation, accelerating structural cracking and risking mandatory utility disconnection penalties.

Helpful?

Keep your family safe during plumbing by addressing older home hazards. Many pre-1978 properties in OH contain asbestos pipe insulation or aging lead service lines. Ask a licensed professional to assess these risks before starting work. If professionals disturb lead lines, strictly follow flushing protocols and use certified water filtration. Always keep pets and children out of basements during sump pump repairs to avoid sudden flooding hazards.

Helpful?

Build a proactive routine for plumbing to handle local weather shifts. In late fall, disconnect exterior hose bibs and insulate pipes in unheated spaces to prevent freezing. During the intense OH spring thaw, test your sump pump and inspect basement walls for moisture intrusion. In summer, schedule non-emergency permitted work while ground conditions remain stable, and check exposed pipes for hidden condensation.

Helpful?

Watch out for quotes that skip permit fees or pressure you to bypass required inspections. Unpermitted plumbing exposes you to significant liability and hazards. Another major red flag is a contractor failing to provide proof of a state-issued license. Finally, avoid professionals who propose fixing older Fostoria sewer laterals without performing a full camera inspection first, as this leads to repeat failures in local clay soils.
