"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."
"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!"
"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!"
"He did respond quickly but said he could not help us with any of our needs. If you are a home repair company you should be able to provide home repairs. He told us we needed a licensed plumber, electrician, and roofer. What does this company do then? Are you licensed to repair anything? "
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.
There are a few reasons your diverter valve may not be fully diverting. Blockages from mineral buildup are common, but if your diverter is older, it may be suffering from normal wear and tear. Components can wear down or crack. In some cases, the cartridge may be defective, and you’ll need to replace it.
Ejector pumps can only push sewage 750 feet or less. That’s because their purpose is to move waste from your home to your sewer line—which is a relatively short distance. Grinder pumps can transport sewage further, but they manage lower volumes of waste than ejector pumps (and they don’t work with septic systems).
Hiring an experienced plumber is key to a successful plumbing project and protecting your home from potential damages. Improper plumbing maintenance and repairs can lead to problems with sewage, flooding, your home’s foundation, and more. The work of a licensed plumber helps guarantee not only experience and expertise but also quality work, insurance, and adherence to local rules and regulations. Note that working with unlicensed plumbers doesn't automatically negate experience—as six states don’t require plumbers to have licenses— but it’s a safeguard to consider.
Soldering is a secure way to fix a leaky copper pipe, but if you don’t have access to a soldering iron, you can use a slip repair coupling or compression couplings. These types of couplings tighten with a wrench or by hand. If you’re looking for a temporary solution that doesn’t require soldering, you can use epoxy putty or adhesive tape.
