"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."
"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!"
"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!"
"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!"
"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."
Draining is the process of removing sediment buildup that has accumulated at the bottom of your hot water heater’s tank. Flushing is a more elaborate process that involves running fresh water through the tank to clean the inside thoroughly. You should at least drain your hot water heater once per year and flush it every other year—better yet, alternate between draining and flushing every six months.
That pungent rotten egg smell coming from your drain is likely the buildup of biofilm—hair, skin, and soap scum that turns into a black sticky mess. In this case, pouring down near-boiling water, baking soda, and white vinegar will remove the smell. Keep in mind that a rotten egg smell is occasionally a sign of larger sewage line clogs and other related issues.
You’ll need two sizes of pipe to plumb a bathroom. You’ll use a 1/2-inch pressure pipe for your supply lines that run from the fixture to the larger 3/4-inch supply lines that run through the house. For drain lines, you’ll need a 3-inch PVC pipe for your toilet, a 2-inch PVC pipe for stand-alone showers, and a 1 1/2-inch pipe for a shower/tub combo and the bathroom sink. Each fixture’s drain will run to the 3-inch main drain that runs through the house.
No, it’s not safe to use a blowtorch or any open flame to thaw pipes. The intense heat can cause the pipe to burst and/or start a fire, leading to very costly damage. Instead, use safer external heating alternatives, such as heat tape, a space heater, or an infrared lamp.
The most common places for water leaks in a home are the fixtures we use most often: the kitchen and bathroom sinks, the showerhead, and the toilet. These components all contain moving parts and O-rings that prevent water from flowing through when the fixtures are shut off, and these can wear down over time and lead to minor drips or significant leaks. You can sometimes employ a DIY solution to replace aerators or faucet O-rings that could be causing the leak, but it’s usually best to call in a professional for a permanent fix.
