"The installed a tankless water heater from a 40 gallon tank. The job was perfection. If you are looking for a white pressed shirt and well mspoken guys, don't call them. These are plumbers and darn good ones. They were fast and effective and friendly. Best of all they were 3000$ cheaper than Ben Franklin Plumbing and some others. These guys are experienced and won't rip you off!!"
"I had a plumbing emergency and I called Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. They were very responsive. The technician was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. He fixed the problem in no time and explained everything to me clearly. He also gave me some tips on how to prevent future issues. The price was reasonable and the service was excellent. I would definitely use Benjamin Franklin Plumbing again and recommend them to anyone who needs a quality plumber. Thank you Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for saving the day!"
"Shawn C. and Rob R. did a fantastic job replacing our old tub with a brand new tub, plumbing, and wall surround in one day! They were courteous and professional and very clean. Definitely recommend West Shore Home to anyone looking to replace a tub!"
"Mike did the troubleshooting to identify the fault while explaining to me what he was observing, then isolated the problem down to the well pump (which I already suspected). I also watched Mike do a meticulous job in shrink-tubing the connections, wrapping it all in electrical tape, and inspecting the entire length of electrical conductor TWICE. What Mike did NOT do was try to sell me an entire GrundFos system when all I needed was the pump. Yes, I had a past plumber contractor try to load up my bill unnecessarily. Mike of Atlantic Blue did a fine job."

No, rough-in plumbing isn’t usually required for minor bathroom changes. However, if you’re taking on the cost of a bathroom remodel and require plumbing work, hiring your local plumber to replumb your home is best. Rough-in plumbing is only ideal for new construction and full-blown renovations.
If you find moisture under your sink, you can clean up the worst of it with paper towels or regular towels. Then, leave the cabinet doors open to allow air circulation. You can also place a fan or dehumidifier near the cabinet to help dry it out a little quicker.
If you have a huge leak like a burst pipe, it’s an emergency, and you should call a plumber immediately. Burst pipe repair costs range between $150 and $5,000, depending on the location of the pipe and the severity of the leak.
On the other hand, more minor leaks can go undetected for a while, which can cause water damage to your cabinets, walls, flooring, or ceiling. So while you don’t need to call it an emergency, you should still worry about a small leak. Get a temporary pipe leak solution in place while you wait for a plumber.
While the drain connection for a garbage disposal is nearly universal and fits standard sink drain holes of 3 1/2 to 4 inches, the size of the disposal unit itself is not. You must have enough space in the cabinet underneath your sink to accommodate the disposal's housing. A larger model may not fit in a compact cabinet or if the existing plumbing is arranged in an unusual way. Before buying a new garbage disposal, measure the available space under your sink. If you are replacing an old unit, it's often easiest to choose a new model of a similar size.
A standard toilet flange should fit snugly into the outflow pipe and sit level with the subfloor. Installing a new one without first removing the old one will make it impossible to form a seal and keep the toilet bowl bolted securely in place.
However, if you’re dealing with leakage or wobbling because you’ve installed a new type of bathroom tile (making the floor taller), you may be able to avoid fully replacing the flange by opting for a toilet flange extender. Extenders typically come in kits for easy DIY installation, fit over the existing flange, and bring the drain connection higher.
