"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."
"Love Haines Drains Plumbing!!! They answered the phone, didn't let it go to voicemail😊👍. They were able to come out the same. wow! Excellent technicians gave an estimate, explained everything. Highly recommend them."
"When my normal plumber wasn't available after Easter, I went online and found Makeithot! They came Monday afternoon, and I had a new water heater...and hot water by 7:30 that night. Prompt, knowledgeable, and courteous!"
"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!!"
"Marty was great to deal with. Very professional and a hard worker. After he replace the valve he noticed that the main line had damage in it from the previous contractor who did not do a good job at winterizing it. After the fix we found another cracked pipe and he worked on repairing it. We kept finding problem after problem and Marty kept working on it. He then moved the heads and left making sure everything was in working order. These guys are a great handyman service that can do just about anything you need. They make sure the job is done right the first time."
"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!"
To unclog a plumbing vent, you first need to locate it. Look at your home's roofline. The plumbing vent will be a vertical pipe sticking straight up from the roof. Since this pipe runs all the way to the main drain underneath your house, you should also be able to find it in the attic.
You can drain a hot water heater yourself as long as you take some safety precautions. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the unit before starting, let the water in the tank cool down for a few hours, and wear safety equipment to protect yourself, including heavy-duty rubber gloves and safety goggles.
The most practical and common setup is a toilet that connects with the sewer line or a septic tank. However, it is possible to install a toilet without a sewer line, and this can be particularly helpful in basements with no or outdated plumbing. An increasingly popular option is an environmentally friendly composting toilet. Other waterless options include incinerating or dry flush toilets, which pull the waste into an airtight container.
In most cases, it’s better to repair a toilet than to replace it. Fixing issues like low water levels, running water, and flushing problems is less expensive than buying a new unit. Start thinking about replacement if the toilet is cracked, using excessive amounts of water, or is over 15 years old. Newer models are more water-efficient and clog less often than older models.
Main water shut-off valves last 10 to 20 years on average, though they can sometimes last longer. This depends in part on the material you choose. Brass valves are very durable, but more expensive bronze or stainless steel valves may last even longer. Main water shut-off valves often fail due to aging internal parts, such as rubber washers. However, corrosion and sediment buildup also contribute to valve failure. If purchasing a home at least 10 years old, you may want to replace the main water shut-off valve soon to avoid potential problems.
