"It went great Doug and Dominick did a excellent job and explained everything to me. I lost my husband a year ago and was so nervous about getting this done not knowing anything about plumbing but they were great! I would highly recommend Doug!"
"I am very, very pleased with the services of All County Drainage Contractors. I needed to have my kitchen sink unclogged and I was concerned about an interruption in hot water to my bathtub. I thought the problem was in the tub plumbing -- but turns out it wasn't. I had even purchased a new tub/shower kit! All County clearly explained I didn't need the kit; assured me that mine was sound, and they showed me the cause of the problem -- the water heater setting -- which was corrected at no cost. I was very appreciative of their advice. Their prices were very fair -- especially for a senior citizen. I had another plumber come out and give me an estimate -- which was astronomical -- and the plumbing company's rep never even went to the basement to see what could be causing the problem! Two other plumbers quoted prices 2-3 times higher -- without every coming to my home and knowing what I needed! Customers are wise to get 3-5 estimates on a home improvement job, if possible. There are so many unscrupulous contractors out there. When I find a good, honest, reasonably priced contractor, they can be assured I will stick with them -- as I will with All County Drainage. I want to bring my laundry room from the basement to the main floor. All County will be my plumber of choice once I figure out what I need! I trust their work and their advice!"
"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.
Check your basement floor. There’s usually a covered panel in the floor. The valve could also be near a sump pump. If you don’t have a basement, look near your water meter. You may see a rectangular or round cover, which is often clear (allowing you to easily see inside), over the valve.
Yes, you should leave outside faucets dripping in freezing weather to prevent frozen and burst pipes. While a drip doesn't always prevent freezing, ice is less likely to form and there's less pressure in your pipes, meaning they’re less likely to burst. You can also winterize your outdoor faucets, eliminating the need to run a drip.
Clean regularly with non-abrasive cleaners, avoid pouring grease down the drain, and check for leaks under the sink.
Yes, you can fix a shower diverter in many cases, depending on the specific problem. If hard water buildup is the issue, you can disassemble and clean your diverter. You may also be able to replace specific components when they break or wear down. All diverters are different, so when replacing parts, you’ll need to make sure you purchase a repair kit that’s compatible with your specific model.
You can buy pipe insulation materials in your local hardware store or in major home improvement stores. You can also shop for insulation online, where you may be able to more easily buy in bulk. When shopping, make sure you know your pipe's dimensions so you can buy the correct size of pipe insulation materials for your pipes.
