"Our plumbing job was completed in two days with a high degree of professionalism and skill. Mr. Steward is a master plumber who diagnosed our problems and knew exactly what to do to solve them. Wee will use him again for our plumbing repairs."
"Don and crew were great! We lost water and they came out and confirmed it was a break in the wiring to the pump. They explained why we experience this issue and advised how they would fix it as well as additional service we will need to prevent any further disruptions. They were very friendly, knowledgeable and gave us a great price. We will definitely use them again for all plumbing issues."
"Hired for pump out and sand-mound septic inspection. John and Ryan performed the inspection and video work, but I didn't get the fellow's name who pumped the tank. All were friendly and knowledgeable (PSMA certified). Had an issue with appointment since an emergency popped up that took priority over our scheduled appointment (which, while unfortunate, is understandable) so we had to be rescheduled, but we were made aware before hand, and they were right on time for the rescheduled appointment. Answered mine & hubby's questions. Very reasonable rates. Absolutely would hire them again and recommend them."

"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."
"Dave and Rick were very professional and completed the work on schedule. One of the hoses under the sink was defective and Dave came out to fix it right away. Very pleased to work with them."
"Yes, David arrived promptly and was efficient. He probed and worked until he found the cause of the drain blockage, resolved the issue, and explained the issue in a thorough and understandable manner! It's obvious that David takes his job, seriously. He is personable professional and a downright good person. You cannot go wrong employing David to resolve your plumbing issues."

"The employees that arrived to do the work were good workers. They were either unaware of the contracted work or mislead. They were not going to install the J Channel per the service agreement, and they had planned to backfill the ditch with the earth they had removed. The contract called for the ditch to be filled to surface with gravel. The installers called the office and explained that a J Channel was agreed on and someone from the office delivered it to satisfy my request. They were going to install the J Channel in segments vs one solid piece across the length of the ditch. I told them the segment seems would allow the water to get thru the J Channel and weep thru our foundation once more. They did the work as I requested but had I not been there or had I been a customer that did not know any better, this job would not have been done correctly or as agreed upon in the contract."
Copper pipes are the safest type of pipe for carrying drinking water because they won't leach chemicals into your drinking water. However, for the best water quality, you should use copper pipes with lead-free joint material. The next best options for carrying drinking water are CPVC and PEX pipes.
If you use copper pipes for drinking water, you should check your water’s pH level. If it has a pH value lower than seven, you'll need to balance your water acidity with a purifier to avoid corrosion that could affect your drinking water quality.
Local plumbing codes and manufacturer recommendations typically dictate the minimum distance between a sink and a dishwasher. This is generally 18 to 24 inches, providing enough room for easy loading and unloading of dishes without hindering the sink's function. Maintaining this separation not only adds convenience but also reduces the chances of water damage and optimizes plumbing connections.
You can buy a sealant spray for a leaking copper pipe, but it’s not a permanent solution and isn’t usually a good idea. For the best adhesion, you should drain the pipe, let it dry completely, apply the spray, and wait for it to dry before turning the water back on. Even with proper technique, a sealant spray is a temporary fix, so you should only use this technique in the interim to prevent water damage if you’re waiting for a more permanent fix.
You’ll have to look around the house to find different sources of a hidden leak. Check for water under the sinks in the kitchen, bathrooms, and utility rooms. Look at your bathtubs, showers, and toilets, including inside the toilet tanks. Puddles can form around your water heater, so take a good look around it. Inspect appliances like your washer, dishwasher, and refrigerator as well. Look for stains on the walls and ceilings, and listen for drips and running water.
You can use normal solder, which consists of a tin and copper alloy, on copper pipes. You should avoid using leaded solder, especially if you're soldering together water supply lines, as it will contaminate drinking water. One way to test if your copper pipes contain lead is to scrape off the solder. If the scraped area is shiny, it likely contains lead.
