"I am so grateful for Angie's List in this case because I called this plumber based on the reviews here. He took time to answer my many questions (I was considering all sorts of hot water heaters--tankless, traditional, hybrid, etc.--in the end, we went with a traditional one.) His price was better than competitors and he was responsive, professional, and did a fabulous job! Pleasant to work with and efficient."

"Guys were great. Found out water main was broken 4pm after a contractor hit the meter the day before. Called them on (it was Friday) and they took the job and got the main repaired (took a couple hours). I wouldn’t have water this weekend if it wasn’t for them! Did a good job checking their work before leaving as well, which I’m greatful for as the outside temp was around 32F so plumbing adhesives might have had difficulty curing at that temp."

"I am very satisfied with Russ of Integrity Plumbing of the Upstate in every way. He was very thorough in his examination of my plumbing system and recommended a reasonably priced repair. I originally wanted to repipe my plumbing, but Russ' assessment of my plumbing system changed my mind giving me confidence in the current system. Because of Russ' assessment, knowledge, and workmanship, I plan to utilize him for maintenance and all other future plumbing needs."

"This was a night call to Benjamin Franklin.   Nathan arrived promptly and fixed the problem quickly and professionally.  This work was under our toilet warranty.  We asked him to come back the next day to check on something and again, his response was first class.  Very polite, very knowledgeable.   Everything was cleaned up afterwards.  We have always used Ben Franklin for our plumbing needs and have never been dissatisfied.  Would always recommend them to others and trust them to get the job done well.

Septic Repairs
Holy cow!! We found it!
Almost looks like we didn't just install 400' of 4'' Storm Drainage to save the septic system from near total failure.

Sometimes excessive storm water can wreak havoc on a septic system and cause the system to break down prematurely. 
The septic system was drowning, we suggested diverting the storm water to protect the septic tank & field lines. Problem Solved.

"I have never worked with more intelligent, professional, and kind experts. He communicated beautifully and always answered questions with knowledge and ease. I tried for 4 years to find a plumber that would fix a horrible problem that a terrible contractor created and this was the first plumber that knew exactly what to do. I am so grateful and impressed. I trust them and will continue to call on only them for plumbing. Thank you!!!"

"I have known Rusty throughout the duration of his career in plumbing. He started at the bottom, as an employee and worked his way up; establishing himself in the field, as the honest and approachable plumber, who wants to educate his clients. He explains what the problem is and provides different levels of solutions, depending on how urgent the case is, rather than falsifying a sense of urgency. If you’re looking for somebody who is credible and will get the job done, this is who you call."

"I had a main line clog. I called Chisholm and they sent out a tech on the same day!! I didn’t have to pay a fee to get the technician out. He arrived in a fully stocked truck, wore she covers in my home and explained all of my options. They offer zero percent financing options which we took advantage of. I can’t say enough about this company and I will definitely call them for any future needs I may have."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Any drain in your house requires a water trap to prevent sewer gases from entering the home. Dishwashers don’t have an internal water trap, so they must use an external P trap. The most convenient P trap for the dishwasher is already in the plumbing under your sink.

The only downsides to hiring a master plumber is that they charge a higher hourly rate than a less experienced plumber. Plus, master plumbers likely have less availability, given the demand for highly experienced professionals. The benefits far outweigh the cons, though. Upsides include the following:

  • More professional repair

  • More experience fixing your specific issue

  • Recourse if something goes wrong

  • Warranty for the work (in some cases)

  • Some insulation from lawsuits if the plumber gets injured on your property

You should flush your water heater at least once a year, with some experts recommending a schedule of every six to 12 months (e.g., once in the spring and fall). The ideal frequency depends on several factors.

If your area has hard water with high mineral concentrations, you should flush the heater more often—typically every four to six months. Additionally, a water heater that is used frequently may require more frequent flushing than one that is used less often.

Regular flushing is important because it removes sediment buildup from the bottom of the tank. This maintenance helps improve the heater's efficiency, extend its lifespan, and prevent issues like clogs, overheating, and increased energy consumption. You can either learn to perform this task yourself or arrange for a service plan with a professional plumber.

There’s no way around it—a burst pipe is often a homeowner’s worst nightmare, and the situation can range from semi-serious to dire. If you don’t catch the leak, it can lead to thousands of dollars worth of water damage.

At best, you’ll notice a burst pipe quickly, turn off your water supply, and use a wet vacuum to clean up minor flooding. A plumber can repair the pipe, and you won’t be left with a major bill. At worst, severe water damage can collapse floors, ceilings, walls, and foundations, sometimes leading to major repairs and renovations.

It costs anywhere from $150 to $850 to fix a pipe leak, but it could cost even more depending on the damage. The most common kind of pipe leaks, which happen from clogs or grease buildup, cost less than $300 to fix. A burst pipe tends to be the most expensive because it results in significant water damage. Expect to spend $400 to $1,500 to fix the pipe, plus $1,000 to $2,000 on water damage repair.
