Customers say: True professional

"My family and I absolutely LOVE our new shower. Joe and his team did a tremendous job and we highly recommend them. They were professional, knowledgeable, hardworking, and courteous from beginning to end. The cost was reasonable and as quoted, even though they had to do some additional work along the way due to our old home/plumbing system. They explained everything in detail and made sure we were satisfied every step of the way. The finished product is beautiful and we could not be happier!"

"my water heater started leaking 4 days before I was leaving on vacation. I talked with Clean Water Solutions on a Monday morning. He quoted me the lowest price of all the other plumbers I checked with and he had it installed the very next day, so I could go away without any worries."

"This was the second time we used H L Bowman for our plumbing needs and we have been impressed both times. Their plumbers are prompt, courteous, and friendly, in addition to being great at their craft. For this visit, I had a leak under a kitchen sink and did not realize that I needed to have the entire faucet replaced. The plumber recommended the closest plumbing supply store and waited while I selected the one I wanted. He efficiently did the replacement. Very happy with H L Bowman and would highly recommend them."

"Installers took out the old tub, re-did the plumbing and installed a low threshold shower. The guys were friendly, professional, got the job done in one day, and even vacuumed before they left. Thanks West Shore!"

Plumbing FAQs, answered by experts

In Reading, permits are required for most plumbing work, including new installations, major repairs, and water heater replacements. The Reading Building and Trades Division oversees permitting and inspections, which typically include rough-in and final inspections to ensure compliance with local plumbing code. For historic or older homes, additional steps may be needed. Always verify requirements directly with the Reading Building and Trades Division before beginning any project.

Helpful?

Reading's cold winters increase the risk of frozen or burst pipes, making pipe insulation and proper placement essential. Heavy spring rains can stress sump pumps and lead to basement flooding, so regular sump pump maintenance is crucial. Seasonal temperature swings may also cause older pipes to expand and contract, potentially leading to leaks. Planning for these local weather patterns helps extend the life of your plumbing system.

Helpful?

For plumbing projects in Reading, freeze-resistant materials like PEX piping are highly recommended due to the region's cold winters. Copper is also common, especially in older homes, but PEX offers flexibility and durability against freezing. Local plumbing supply stores in Reading can advise on materials that handle the city's unique soil conditions and moisture levels, ensuring your plumbing system is well-suited for the area's environment.

Helpful?

In Reading, hidden costs often stem from discovering old lead or galvanized pipes that require replacement to meet current code, as enforced by the Reading Building and Trades Division. Additional expenses may arise if water damage or mold is found during repairs, or if temporary water shutoffs are necessary. For older homes, restoring disturbed walls or floors after plumbing work is another common, unexpected step to consider.

Helpful?

The toilet flange anchors to the subfloor, usually with wood screws or cement screws, but most of it should sit above floor level at full height. When a flange is flush with the subfloor or below it, it can lead to the creation of leak paths.
