What do different types of plumbing repairs cost?

• <div><p>The type of plumbing repair impacts the cost as much as the experience level of the plumber. Parts and labor required to complete the repairs also heavily factor into the price of the job. Some of the most common plumbing repairs include:</p><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/burst-pipe-repair-cost.htm">Burst pipe</a>: $200–$1,000</p></li><li><p>Leaky faucet: $150–$300</p></li><li><p>Pipe leak: $150–$850</p></li><li><p>Water heater repair: $225–$1,000</p></li><li><p>Water main repair: $1,000–$4,000+</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

How can you test for leaks?

• <div><p>To <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/simple-leak-test-can-help-reduce-your-water-bill.htm">test for toilet leaks</a>, use water coloring in the water tank and see if the water slips into the bowl from the tank. This test will indicate if there’s a problem with the flapper or refill tube. You can also put water coloring in the bowl of the toilet to see if there is a leak there. If there is, you should see the colored water on the outside of the toilet bowl or on the floor. </p></div>

Q: Why do some old houses have a toilet in the basement?

• <div><p>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.</p><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Where is the water pressure regulator located in a home?

• <div><p>Water pressure regulators are commonly located near where the main water line enters the home. They&rsquo;re often found in basements, utility areas, or outside near the water meter. They&rsquo;re shaped like a bell and are critical for controlling the water pressure coming into the home from the public water supply.</p></div>

Q: Does homeowners insurance cover shower pan leaks?

• <div><p>Homeowners insurance may cover shower pan leaks, but it depends on the type of coverage you&rsquo;re looking for. Typically, home insurance policies cover sudden or accidental water damage, for example, if it comes from a busted pipe or malfunctioning appliance. Damage to a shower pan is usually gradual. A repair or replacement of your shower pan usually won&rsquo;t be covered by your policy. If your shower pan leak causes water damage, chances are your standard policy&mdash;if it includes water damage&mdash;will cover the repair.</p></div>

The owner/installer installed a waterfall for my pond. The base material was TN Natural Stone but he only purchased about half of what he needed. He finished the job with stones I already had in the previous water runoff ditch. He installed lights for accent but damaged my existing landscape...

We contacted Mitchell's Plumbing right when they were being slammed with frozen pipe calls. However, that did not stop them from getting us scheduled and a crew onsite within 24 hours. They definitely exceeded our expectations. Well done!
