"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

The average cost to hire a plumber is typically between $45 and $200 per hour, with a common average rate around $125 per hour. This cost can vary based on your location, the plumber's experience, and the complexity of the job. Rates are often broken down by experience level: an apprentice may charge $45 to $90 an hour, a journeyman $60 to $110 an hour, and a master plumber $80 to $200 an hour. While hourly rates are standard, some plumbers may charge a flat fee for routine projects or offer project-based pricing. It's also common for plumbers to charge a minimum service or trip fee. For reference, some typical flat-rate costs for common jobs include: drain unclogging ($220), leaky faucet repair ($270), burst pipe repair ($400), toilet repair ($300), and water heater repair ($600). Note that these rates are for standard service hours; emergency, holiday, and after-hours calls will cost significantly more.

If you’ve accessed the bolts and nuts that hold your toilet seat in place and can’t unscrew them, it’s possible that they were overtightened or that the material corroded over time, making it impossible to unscrew. If that’s the case, you can either call in a plumber for help, or you can DIY a solution if you’re careful. Lay down masking tape around the mounting bracket and then use the tape as a surface to lay a hack saw blade. Move slowly to cut through the bracket and bolt, being careful not to damage the porcelain in the process.

Yes, you’ll need to replace your toilet’s wax seal any time you move the toilet. This is because movement of the toilet will break the seal, rendering the remaining wax useless. Thankfully, replacing a wax seal is fairly easy, and the seal itself only costs $2 to $10 at most home improvement stores.

When replacing a wax seal you typically also have to replace the closet bolts that secure the toilet to the flange. These are usually about 2.5" - 3" long and have to be cut once the toilet is secure. Cutting them usually makes them too short to reuse.

The toilet should rest 10, 12, or 14 inches from the back wall. As for other clearances, 15 inches is the minimum distance from the flange to any side wall or nearby fixture, including the shower, tub, and sink. Modern codes also require at least 24 inches of clear space in front of the toilet.

Yes, continuing to flush a clogged toilet is not likely to break up the clog. Instead, it will continue to put pressure on the clog while filling the bowl with more water, which can potentially cause the toilet to overflow—leading to an even bigger mess. Rather than repeatedly flushing, use a toilet plunger or plumber’s snake to dislodge the clog.
