"They located the water main on the next block, shut off water, cut and capped the broken pipe and were gone in less than 35 minutes. Excellant response with all they other frozen/broken pipes in the area. I much appreciate the repair in such a timely manner.

"We started using II-S Mechanical in October 2012 when a sump pump gave
out, and we were lucky to get an employee named Don whose knowledge,
professionalism and attention to detail were greatly appreciated.  He
replaced that sump pump and then, though not originally a part of the
work to be done, closely examined another older sump pump, explaining
the problems with this older pumps current set-up and giving us
practical estimates on replacement.  We knew that older pump would need
replacement and we depend greatly on that pump.  So, since we were very
satisfied with Don's work, we had II-S Mechanical/Don replace that
second pump. Again, he was very detailed and neat in his work, and both
pumps are working great.  We have real peace of mind knowing the work
was done right.  We've also had Don replace two sink faucets, one of
them which was a difficult, arduous job because the old faucet was
rusted and hard to remove.  Throughout that work, Don acted good-natured
and professional throughout the challenging work.  We have not yet
worked with another employee from this company, but if they're like Don
then you can't go wrong with this company.

Toilets questions, answered by experts

Yes, and no. Your shower, toilet, and sink all connect to the same main drain, but the secondary drains going from each fixture to the main drain are usually separate. This isn’t always the case—especially in older homes—but since toilets contain black water and showers, tubs, and sinks have grey water, toilets are more regulated and come at a greater risk of contamination. It’s best to keep these drains separate using individual waste collection for this reason.

You’ll likely pay between $300 and $450 to unclog your toilet with Roto-Rooter. However, the price could change depending on if the clog has caused a lot of damage, which your plumbing pro will want to inspect during your service appointment. Keep in mind that you won’t get a quote from Roto-Rooter over the phone. They have to send a pro out for an in-person cost estimate. You can also attempt to snake your own clog for a lot less, and simple drain snakes cost no more than $50.

The amount of water wasted when a toilet ghost flushes depends on the cause of the ghost flushing. Leaky flapper valves tend to waste less water than a larger problem like a damaged flush valve that makes the toilet run constantly. Even if you don’t think you’re wasting a lot of water, it’s still a problem that should be fixed quickly. 

Hiring an emergency plumber is expensive because of the urgency and inconvenience, but there are a few things you can do to help keep costs down:

  • Minimize water damage by shutting off your water main 

  • Clean up pooling water immediately to reduce damage and mold growth

  • Avoid using fixtures if you have a clog or septic system backup

  • Verify that your plumber is licensed before hiring

  • Call a few plumbers for estimates if you can afford a short delay in getting service

After flushing the toilet, you should have about half a tank full of water. While the exact amount of water you’ll have will vary, you want to make sure you have enough to cover the bottom of the bowl and enough to sit above the P-trap drain. While low water in your toilet bowl can indicate a problem, too much water can also be cause for concern.
