"Plumber did a great job. Give days after Christmas I had two pipes burst below cement slab. After I took out the cement around pipes he was able repair them."
"Waking up to your water heater having died is a horrible experience on a Sunday morning. But having Paul and his son come change out my water heater the same day was a absolutely a great experience. Having a contractor show up on time and do exactly what they say they're going to do is unheard of in my experience. I contacted several other plumbers in the area they either couldn't come until later in the week or were way too expensive. I highly recommend Plumb ER should you experience a major plumbing issue."
"We were very very pleased and will use them again. SCE&G had sent this company, as we the water line replacement program for $4.95 per month, so it didn't cost us anything. I highly recommend this program. And we will certainly use Peeples Plumbing for our future plumbing needs."
"I was given so many different prices on rerouting my pipes from a leak. Bill out beat the bigger companies on prices. He did a great job and didn't have to go through my new flooring at all. If your looking for quality work and more affordable then I so recommend Bill to all your plumbing needs."
"Claudio and his crew were so helpful with our bathroom remodel. They kept the remodel contained to the bathroom, did a great job, and we are so pleased with the final result. The crew was totally reliable and trustworthy. I did not worry about leaving them in our home when I needed to leave. I would recommend them and would use their services again!"
"Rick and Gary did a great job replacing my old water heater with a tankless one! They were professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything. The installation went smoothly, and I'm really happy with the result. I would absolutely recommend Rick and Gary at Dial Plumbing to anyone who needs plumbing work!"
"Both the sales Man and the installers were very informative. A supervisor came by and they explained everything to us . My husband had a stroke. And needed special heights that they took the time to adjust all the handles and plumbing to work for him . Highly recommend Steave and Stephanie . And cleaned up everything!"
"We were impressed by the quick response after using Angi.com. The representative came to our house, without charge, and reviewed our bathroom shower leaks, and gave us several options. He didn't pressure us. It was pleasant."
"I hired Cransten to remodel my bathroom. It was getting old and in need of an update. They came in, replaced the floor, built a shower pan, and laid custom tile around my shower. I was impressed with how friendly and professional they were. I would definitely hire them again!"
If your pipes are suddenly making loud noises, it could be due to any of the aforementioned issues. A water hammer is a common cause of this problem. Other potential causes include water pressure issues, loose pipes, air bubbles, and worn-out fixtures. Mineral buildup in the pipes can also cause loud noises.
It is generally recommended to schedule a professional plumbing inspection annually for an average home. However, the ideal frequency can vary. Newer homes may only require an inspection every two years, while older homes, or those with a history of plumbing problems, benefit from more frequent annual checkups. Other factors that might necessitate more frequent inspections include having hard water or mature trees on your property with extensive root systems that could damage sewer and water lines. Regular maintenance helps identify potential issues early, preventing costly repairs, and typically includes checking for leaks, inspecting connections, and ensuring pipes and fixtures are in good working condition to extend the life of your plumbing system.
Replacing cast iron pipes when they’ve reached the end of their life span is key to preventing leaks and clogs. Over time, cast iron pipes corrode and experience pipe scale, which thickens the inside of the walls and increases the chance of clogs while also decreasing water flow. As the material deteriorates, you could experience costly leaks that increase reparation expenses.
Cast iron can last between 50 and 75 years, but it’s still a good idea to check for leaks as your pipes approach the 25-year mark, as pipes can already show signs of deterioration within the first three decades.
In some situations, you may be able to try an alternative to repiping your bathroom. If you’re dealing with substantial clogs, for instance, you may be able to have a plumber come out and clear the clog. But if you’ve tried other repairs and are still dealing with issues, you can opt for epoxy pipe lining as an alternative to repiping. This method coats the inside of the pipe with an epoxy to seal holes or cracks.
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.
