"Services: Unclog drain, Repair toilet, Repair pipe. // Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness // Haines was recommended to me saying they were good at their job. I called them Monday, Feb 15th about a clogged drain, they came out Tues Feb 16th at the time I was told they would be there, which was great! They were there from 3:30 pm to 6:50 pm. Some repairs had to be made to the laundry tub drain and my toilet had to be lifted so they could access that portion of the drain. After the toilet was replaced, the shut-off valve leaked, so I asked them to replace that also. The work that was done created quite a mess... BUT, when they were finished you would never know that. Everything was cleaned up so well and disinfected, it looked nice and smelled nice. The workmen were very professional and knowledgeable about their job. I will add this company to my contacts as a reliable source for repairs."
"This was on a Sunday afternoon. While attempting to repair our toilet the supply line valve broke off. Water everywhere! Had to shut off the Main so no water to the entire house! We called three "24/7" plumbing services and no one was available. One suggested we call T&J. While we did have to wait they were able to call someone in to come out. He arrived, had to locate parts for our older plumbing and go pick them up. Got it replaced and for a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend and would use again!"

"If I could give 10 Stars I would! I live in Maumee and while doing laundry, my kitchen sink started to fill with water as my washer emptied, it even came out from under the toilet. Again living in Maumee with all of the sewer issues I was so worried and hesitant about calling to have my sewer line cleaned out. Reading prior reviews and looking at the amount of years in business with different companies I decided to call E&K. I spoke with Bob, who really put me at ease during the call. He explained to me the steps they take to open the line and once opened would look with a camera to see and make sure everything was fine. Best decision ever. It took over 2 1/2 hours to clear my line of mainly tree roots. Jacob and Hayden very hard workers, Damien absolutely awesome. The outcome was even better, my sewer line is fine! Very helpful and honest company. With all the sewer problems in Maumee I would choose E&K Contractors again if I ever have a problem."
"I contacted Home Advisor looking for a plumber. The response from Affordable Plumbing was almost immediate. Ron answered my questions regarding a leak and then we spoke about replacing a toilet. He quoted that job and we agreed to an appointment a few days later. I was pleasantly surprised as my work was not an emergency. Ron arrived and quickly, efficiently and professionally completed the work. He could not have been nicer to work with and I not only highly recommend him here but will also share this story with my friends. Highly satisfied!"
The first step to clearing the air in a line is to locate the cause. This is usually a blockage in either the drain or the venting system. Once you clear the issue, flush the system by actually flushing the toilets repeatedly. This should allow the trapped air to escape, thus clearing the lines. Don’t be surprised if there is increased bubbling as the air makes its way through the system.
The lifespan of a toilet can vary significantly. While the porcelain body itself can last up to 50 years or more with proper care, most plumbers suggest an average functional lifespan of 10 to 25 years, and many homeowners replace their toilets after about 20 years.
A toilet's longevity is influenced by factors like maintenance quality, hard water buildup, and damage to the finish. It's also important to note that internal components have much shorter lifespans than the bowl; for example, flappers may last only a few years, while fill valves can last around 10 years.
Even if an older toilet is still functional, consider upgrading to a high-efficiency model to save on water costs.
Many plumbers include removing and disposing of the old toilet as part of their service package. However, it’s best to ask before signing a contract, as removal isn’t guaranteed. If the plumber doesn’t take the old toilet, you have several options, including donation, recycling, junk removal, and bulk waste services..
Yes, $5,000 is a healthy budget for a DIY bathroom renovation. It can go a long way in making the space more accessible and stylishly spa-like.
