Tom arrived promptly on Monday morning with his son and installed the new heater in about 3 hours. He replaced some of the plumbing that was done poorly, and also rerouted a drain line through a wall to the outside of my house. He explained how and when to drain the heater to prevent sediment buildup. Tom's workmanship was clearly superior to the plumber's who installed the heater six years ago. This "affordable" provider also charged $300 more than Tom. I will call Tom for all future plumbing work and recommend him to anyone I know who needs a plumber.

I had a much better service experience at Lowe's but it came down to a significant price difference between the two companies. I woke to a broken hot water heater and instantly began doing online searches for replacement water heaters, pricing and installations. Home Depot touts same day installation if you call by noon. I called around 9:30am to several companies to ensure that they had the heaters in stock and could indeed deliver today. I called Home Depot 3 times because each time I was transferred to the water heater department no one picked up. In between I had gotten through to a competitor. They were extremely helpful in giving me pricing, calling to confirm delivery that day etc. However when they proactively called back to let me know when the entered all the info in their system the installation was over $100 more than they had quoted me. That is when I called Home Depot back a 3rd time. I reached a gentleman in the water heater department. I asked if they had heaters, he said yes they had them in stock. When I asked about delivery and cost he said, and quot;oh gee, um, I don't know, I really wouldn't have any ideaand quot; He said that if I logged into the website there was an 800 number I could call to find that information out. He couldn't even be bothered to give me the number. Being desperate, I looked up and called the 800 number. The installation group, Fast Water Heaters, I want to stress was great! They could not get the heater installed the same day, despite Home Depots claim of same day installation if ordered by noon (it was now 10:15am). But they were highly rated on Angie's list and even honored the Angie's List coupon on the order. They (Fast) set up an appt for the next day. The installer was about an hour late due to a company meeting, but called and kept me informed. He was courteous and friendly. He wasn't pushy with some upgrade offers and cleaned up his work afterwards. I highly recommend Fast for your plumbing and water heater needs, but Home Depot needs to work on their customer service!

The prior fridge didn'd have the water and ice maker in the door. We thought we would have to run a new line under the house but when I mentioned that my water heater was just outside an adjacent wall, Bryan figured out a way to get the water from that incoming line to the fridge. Minimal plumbing parts and time! Great job and great price. I had to call him back in January because a the valve that should shut off my outside water during winter wasn't shutting off properly and water was continually running out the open faucets. He came the next day and installed a new valve with a draining switch so I don't have to worry about water left in my lines. I never worry that the work is substandard or will totally break the bank.

When she had a water leak you were able to come in quickly and just take care of business in a way that eased her anxiety. Thank you for doing the plumbing that our family requires, and also caring for them in a way that is beyond what is expected.

I called Tom at 8:00 PM on a Friday, and he answered promptly. He said that he would come out the next day after completing other water heater installations. He arrived at about 3:00 PM and determined that the defective part was non-standard and would have to be ordered. I decided to replace...

I started this handyman business to share my skill sets and assist those in need of maintenance repairs whether that be for residential or commercial dwellings. I possess a lifetime of experience with various tricks of the trade and truly enjoy what I do. I would like to share my knowledge with others that are willing to learn hands-on how to do basic repairs in the event something comes up again. After serving over 40 years in this hands on trade, I have been around the block a few times. I like to keep my load light so that I am available to schedule clients promptly to address their needs. Helping those to resolve their issues is why I chose to do what I do. I am commonly referred as a one-stop-shop. I address, top to bottom, maintenance issues and repairs. I won’t stop until the task is complete and that everyone involved is satisfied.

Plumbing Handymen questions, answered by experts
There are warning signs that your copper pipes may be failing. These include discolored water, decreased water pressure, visible cracks and leaks, built-up green rust, and corrosion. If you know the copper pipes are reaching the end of their life span, consider having them replaced or at least having a professional assess your plumbing system.
We recommend scheduling routine plumbing inspections once a year for an average house. Older homes may need more frequent inspections, while newer homes might get by with less frequent inspections—every two years. Homes with many mature tree species known for extensive root systems also benefit from more inspections, as roots are a common culprit for cracked sewer and water lines.
In the majority of cases, homeowners insurance will not cover a main sewer line root clog. The reason is that most insurance companies consider tree root damage to sewer lines as common wear and tear, which is also preventable. However, you may be able to buy optional add-on coverage, such as "service line coverage" or "sewer line endorsements," that would protect against root damage to your sewer line.
If you have to hold the toilet handle (also called the toilet lever) down to flush, you probably have a chain problem. A chain that cannot fully lift the flapper will close too early and not clear the toilet bowl. Try adjusting the chain length so there’s about ½ inch of slack.
Since they are cold-blooded, snakes find cool toilet bowls attractive, especially during hot weather. Or they may be seeking to escape the plumbing and find a spot in your home where they can warm up on a cold night. Snakes may also be looking for food.
