"Excellent, professional service... even called to come out early! Had everything needed and was finished in no time. Removed old tank and left no mess. Had a very tight, cluttered, dimly lit space to work in, and assured me it was OK. Honored Angie's list coupon without hesitation and subtracted from bill, as invoice prepared before I could tell him I had the coupon. Would highly recommend and will definitely call in future with any additional plumbing needs. "
"I hired All County Drainage Contractors to fix my plumbing leak and replace the valve body. Josh made me feel very comfortable as he worked and allowed me to ask him plumbing questions as he worked. Josh answered my questions in great detail. All of the tub fixtures were left neat and cleaned. Josh additionally removed a pull and turn drain stopper at no additional charge and advised me what to replace it with."
"Everything went great! We tried to see if we can fix the problem but we were unsuccessful. So we got on Angie’s list and we hired Mr. Rooter Plumbing. The technician came in, found the problem and fixed it right away. We will most definitely hire Mr. Rooter Plumbing for any of our plumbing needs. Thank you so much Mr. Rooter Plumbing Service for helping and fixing our hot water tank problem."
"George with Independence Plumbing and Bath exceeded my expectations. I had a tub and shower remodel that was not only finished earlier than quoted, but completed with such quality and at a great price. George is punctual, has great communication, and definitely knows what he?s doing and does it with care and professionalism. I would 100% recommend them to anyone who needs any bathroom repairs or remodels."
"Extremely pleasant to talk to! I didn’t realize my husband had already booked someone else for the job, but I truly appreciated how responsive and professional Haines Drains and Plumbing was. I will definitely be contacting them for any future plumbing needs—they’re reliable and a pleasure to work with!"
"This family owned business is AMAZING!! They worked until the job was done correctly without overcharging us. They were professional, intelligent, and had our water flowing and toilets flushing after a long, grueling day and a half of work. Wonderful job!!"
"I had my tub replaced by Home Team Home Improvements and I?m so happy with how it turned out! The whole process was smooth and the crew was friendly and easy to work with. They showed up when they said they would, worked efficiently, and cleaned up after themselves. My new tub looks amazing and made such a big difference in the bathroom. You can tell they really care about doing quality work. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to update their bathroom.If I could recommend anyone for Home improvement it would be Window Depot, Thanks again for the great job!"
"As soon as the supplies came in, I was called, and they started work the next day. They laid down drop cloths and cleaned up after themselves. The plumbing changes that were needed to put in the new shower were done professionally."
Phoned Marty's appliance Repair on July 16. Although He could not come out that day that was okay. He later phone me again the same day in the evening and confirmed he would be out on the 17th between 10 and 12.
He had not arrived by 12:30, so I phoned him because I wanted to be sure he was coming. He had forgotten that he had called me the evening before and told me he was planning to come at the end of his day. Once we got this cleared up, he did show up after he finished the job he was on.
I had an icemaker that had stopped dispensing water, then stopped dispensing ice cubes. I could live without the water, but was worried to just let it go, since everything had then also stopped. My suspicions from looking on-line was that there was ice in the lines, which I mentioned to him.
He checked the lines behind the refrigerator and did some reconnecting to see if the water was coming through, and it was. There was no plumbing issue. Still the water would not dispense. After some more switching back and forth he thought it was corrected as he got the water to come from the lines. He put the refrigerator back in place, but still no water came out of the dispenser.
Ultimately, there was ice in the lines, and he got a heat dryer of some sort and directed it as some of the lines around the dispensing unit and under the refrigerator. Which is exactly what I had found in my research on line, but my concern was there was something else was wrong when the ice stopped dispensing.
He mentioned when he had been there about 10 minutes and still behind the refrigerator checking the lines that it already was $120.00, I can only think this is what he charged for this kind of job. I believe he noticed that it was very dusty behind and inside the back of the refrigerator and I asked him what it would cost to vacuum it out. He had said it would be another $60 so $180 plus tax. I did have him vacuum this out, because I knew it had never been done. and he was already there.
There were no parts involved, and he had also told me in my initial conversation that if I called one of the "big" repair stores it would be a lot more. How much more could it be? I did call another service repair company the next day because I felt ripped off, and received a quote of 90.00 plus $30 for the vacuuming of the unit. I had used them before, and should have used them again.
No Angie's list discount was even suggested. He seems to be a very nice, pleasant man, and is knowledgeable at what he does, but I would not use him again because of cost. My mechanical skills are nil so I could not have done the jiggling around behind the refrigerator, and I do not mind paying for services, I just do not want to feel taken. This is the second time I have been unhappy with an Angie's list recommendation.
The cost to unclog a drain varies based on the location and severity of the clog. For simple clogs within your home, such as in a sink, toilet, or shower, hiring a plumber typically costs between $110 and $350, with an average of around $200. Snaking a toilet or sink usually costs between $110 and $275, while a bathtub or shower clog costs about $225.
For a more serious clog in the main sewer line, the cost is higher. Clearing a main line clog generally costs between $200 and $600, with an average of about $380. However, prices can range from as low as $100 for snaking a minor clog to over $1,600, particularly if advanced methods like video inspection and hydrojetting are needed for a large or hard-to-reach blockage. Some severe main line clogs can cost upwards of $1,000 to clear depending on factors like the cause of the clog, its distance from an accessible cleanout, and whether the pipe is located beneath an occupied space (e.g., in an apartment building). You may be able to save money on minor clogs by using a drain snake or bladder yourself.
A broken flange could lead to serious issues. When a flange breaks, the toilet is no longer secured to the subfloor, which leads to constant rocking when in use. Over time, this breaks the wax seal between the toilet and flange and causes leaking throughout the substrate, bathroom floor, and ceilings below the bathroom.
Local building codes sometimes require sewer ejector pumps to have their own vents. If so, these dedicated vents run upward through the home and exit through the roof. Otherwise, the pump’s vent pipe can connect to an existing vent stack. Regardless of which method you use, venting is an important part of installing a sewer ejector pump because it helps equalize pressure and prevents gases from building up inside your home.
Draining is the process of removing sediment buildup that has accumulated at the bottom of your hot water heater’s tank. Flushing is a more elaborate process that involves running fresh water through the tank to clean the inside thoroughly. You should at least drain your hot water heater once per year and flush it every other year—better yet, alternate between draining and flushing every six months.
A plumbing pipe is simply a container for water, sewage, or even air in some cases. Like any other type of container, it has an internal empty space, or capacity. That space is the amount of room a plumbing component has to hold liquid. That amount of room is the volume.
