"Installation went great - plumbing work looks excellent. Knocking off a star as the wood shavings from drilling weren't cleaned up and the covers on the water shutoffs weren't closed completely."

"I'm satisfied the problem was fixed however, two issues arose. The tech burned our baseboard molding trying to sweat a fitting onto the copper pipe. The service van was not equipped with the correct part - a cold water supply valve for the toilet. Rather a fundamental part - I was surprised."

"We had a settling crack that was under the vinyl floor that was about ten feet long. My wife searched the web and found Mike at Flaker Flooring South Carolina and we contacted him on 6.9.2022 and made plans for him to come and look at the floor. We were in a hurry to put our house in CHESNEE, SC on the market by 6.18.2022. Mike usually does not work on weekends, but Mike came right out on time as scheduled and finished the floor on time.He called in advance to let us know exactly what time to meet. He went out of his way and repaired it perfectly. His price was very reasonable. We cannot say thank you enough. We highly recommend his company. He is licensed and insured and knows exactly what he is doing! You will have no regrets. He is very respectful and guarantees his work. We are very satisfied ! Our real estate agent was so impressed she ask Mike for his business cards."

Toilets questions, answered by experts

Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.

Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.

If you decide to replace the toilet flapper yourself, the only cost will be buying the new flapper for around $5 to $17. You can also hire a plumber or handyperson to take on the job instead, in which case you’ll pay an hourly rate for labor plus the cost of parts. Handypersons charge $50 to $150 per hour, while plumbers cost $45 to $200 per hour. This repair might take less than an hour for your pro, but note that many providers have a minimum rate for a house call. 

A gurgling toilet usually doesn’t mean that your septic tank is full. If waste can’t drain into a full septic tank, you’ll see water and sewage backing up into your fixtures, but the air that causes gurgling is a result of poor venting. You are more likely to have a clog in your vent stack or a damaged air admittance valve.

Depending on the issue and materials, costs range from $150 to $500.

Usually it’s fine to leave a toilet clogged overnight, as long as it’s not close to overflowing. In some cases, the extra time may give the clog time to work itself out. For example, if it’s caused by an excess of toilet paper, letting it sit could result in the clog dissolving and you may be able to simply flush it away by the time you wake up. 

Only let it sit though if you have more than one toilet in the home.
