"Job was completed in one day. It was convenient. I woke up with no hot water. Called Hill's (it was on a Friday) around 10am and they had one of their plumbers call me right back so I could explain the problem. He gave me a time that he would be at my home. He called me when he was on the way. He arrived at the time he had said he would (3:30pm). He showed me the problem. Water heater was leaking. (It was 22 years old). It needed to be replaced. I didn't have time or a truck to go purchase one myself. He replaced it and we had hot water by 6pm."

"Just moved to Myrtle Beach. The former homeowner highly recommended ARS to maintain the two Carrier heat pumps ARS installed. So we joined the PROS Club @ ARS. Very happy to learn that ARS also does plumbing and electrical. Weâ ve already used Plumber Alan to fix a toilet problem. Electrician Shane installed a whole house surge protector, installed surge protectors on both ACs and both air handlers, and installed a plug at the electrical box for a power generator. Electrician Bill followed up to investigate why certain lights flicker when the clothes washer agitates. All three gentlemen were professional, friendly, and clearly described how they would help us. The PROS Club reduced our costs and helped us receive help sooner. We are happy with our first experiences with ARS and highly recommend them. - Laura & Mark VanValkenburg, The Bluffs on the Waterway"

"Earl Vereen removed big useless bathtub and installed a beautiful walk in shower. His workmanship is impeccable and he is an excellent craftsman. Also removed a small standup shower stall that was too small and outdated. I plan to use turn that area into storage shelves. Worked all day with no breaks and cleaned up any mess that existed. This is the second project I had West Shore (EARL) do for me. Highly recommend. Diana Kingsley Little River, SC"

"Dj, CJ and Rob were excellent..on time everyday and they went straight to work. They were definitely approachable, friendly and answered any questions that we had. They knew their job and explained to us in everyday terms exactly what they were doing. We are grateful as well to Landon who " sold" us the idea of Mount Valley and Marty who also came up and explained to us exactly what needed to be done and met with the plumber to expedite the process. Thank you, Mount Valley!! We are satisfied customers in Cheraw, SC. All of your employees that we encountered represent you well!!"

"They were super friendly and honest. I was told by another company I needed my bathroom fans vented and the price was outrageous. They were able to locate the already installed vents instead of putting new ones in and was able to hook them up for me. I will definitely use them for future work"

"Swift services rocks! From the gals in the office to the top notch techs and I?m not surprised because the performance in charge is a man of integrity . Integrity starts at the helm! Chris Thompson went beyond his call of duty. My tenant had no heat during a cold spell and the part wouldn?t be in until the next day. Chris T went back and brought a portable heater so the bedroom was warmer for the tenant! May God bless Chris T , his family and the entire Swift family abundantly! They have installed a new heat pump , HWH, in the past plus repairs and being a member gives you tremendous value. They are all extremely professional , and truly good folks.They keep in touch with you every step of the way. I am blessed from afar that God guided me to a company of integrity through Brown and Reeves HVAC who I had for a long time until they went out of business. They were fabulous as well and referred me to Swift . Swift Services are your GO TO People!! They do plumbing and electrical as well!!"

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Before the widespread use of PVC, affixing a ground wire to plumbing pipes was generally considered to be an acceptable workaround. Nowadays, not so much. There are plenty of nonmetallic water pipes and fittings out there, so any ground previously provided by the metallic piping would be interrupted in these cases, which is dangerous.

Main water shut-off valves last 10 to 20 years on average, though they can sometimes last longer. This depends in part on the material you choose. Brass valves are very durable, but more expensive bronze or stainless steel valves may last even longer. Main water shut-off valves often fail due to aging internal parts, such as rubber washers. However, corrosion and sediment buildup also contribute to valve failure. If purchasing a home at least 10 years old, you may want to replace the main water shut-off valve soon to avoid potential problems.

Older faucet fixtures may have some corrosion, leaving them stuck. Try a few techniques to loosen the fixtures.

  • Wrap the fixture with a towel and tap the base with a hammer.

  • Use a putty knife to gently remove any caulk that may be holding the handle or fixture in place.

  • Apply a few drops of penetrating oil around the base of the fixture or around the nuts.

  • Purchase a faucet pulling tool to pop the fixture loose.

A couple of components work together to control your shower's water pressure. A water pressure regulator, located near your main water shut-off valve, will control the pressure as water enters your home. From there, your shower valve does the heavy lifting. Other factors that impact water pressure include the type of showerhead you install (rain showerheads tend to have lower water pressure than traditional wall-mounted showerheads) and whether the local building code requires a flow restrictor.

It’s usually best to hire a certified master plumber to perform plumbing work in your home. Certified plumbers will be able to tackle most plumbing jobs and will have experience with drainage problems, water supply pipes, and appliances. This type of plumber is the most expensive, but the price is well worth it. You could opt for a journeyperson or an apprentice, which will be more affordable, but the reduced experience means your repair may not be as high-quality. Avoid hiring a handyperson for plumbing work unless you’re dealing with a simple issue, like a clog or a leaky faucet.
