"I am giving Holman an overall grade of B because there were lots of problems on this job, but in the end they persisted until I was satisfied. I had used them before on other things like installing a toilet, and I had been pleased with the work. I bid this remodeling job with six contractors, and Holman was neither the highest nor the lowest. I thought the price was reasonable, and they emailed me a detailed schedule which took into consideration the disruption to my tenants. I paid half the cost up front. All went well at first. They showed up on time and demolished the first tub. I drove up the next day to make sure the tile guy, John M, knew what I wanted. I am a perfectionist, and I was uncomfortable with the fact that I had not had a call from him to go over what I wanted, despite asking for contact. Sure enough, he'd bought the wrong tile. But I decided to use it, for a small upcharge, rather than delay. John M hired a couple of guys to do the actual tile work. I showed him exactly where I wanted a pre-fab shampoo niche to go, then I left. I live 90 miles away from the property, so I wasn't able to be there every day. I asked for him to text me pictures, but I heard nothing. I got my tenants to send me pictures instead. Each bathroom was supposed to take 3 days. The first tub was done on schedule and they started the second. So after a few days I got photos of the second bathroom from my tenant, and I saw the shower niche was not placed exactly where I had specified. I wasn't pleased, but it functioned, so I got over it. Then I got a call from the owner of the apartment downstairs. There was a ton of water coming through their ceiling because apparently the workmen hadn't hooked up the tub drain properly to tub #2. This was scary to me, thinking of insurance claims, etc., but Holman took responsibility and said they'd take care of it. I appreciated this professional approach, and the fact that I didn't have to argue with them about it. I once again visited the site to see the progress after tub #3 was done, and I wasn't pleased with the colossal mess the workers had left behind. They'd torn up the drywall and just left it damaged, along with a broken door frame, torn-up and discarded baseboards, grout on the linoleum floor, and trash jammed in the corner. The tile supervisor, John M, was nowhere to be seen, but there was a different crew of tilers working on the last tub. They didn't speak English, and I had to pantomime what I wanted them to do with the shampoo niche, which they apparently were surprised to know about. They had half the tile done even though the tub was clearly not level and one end of the grout line was nearly an inch wide. I called Holman and they sent a supervisor out to look. I had worked myself up for a fight, but they acknowledged the problem and said they'd be out the next day to tear out the tub and redo it. No fight necessary. A few days later, the last tub was finally done. I wasn't thrilled with their solution to the leveling problem, because the tiles are cut differently than the other three bathrooms, but again it functions. Meanwhile, they hired a contractor, John D, to come fix all the problems left behind by the other workers. He did a really conscientious job replacing baseboards and drywall, trimming the bottom of the tubs where they met the floor, etc. I wasn't pleased with the texture he applied to the wall because it didn't match the existing texture, so he came back and redid it. However, I feel he did way more work than he got paid for by Holman, so I gave him some extra money. There were a few other problems, nitpicky things with a drain and some grout, which Holman had somebody come fix. In the end, I was satisfied with the result, but we went way over schedule due to the tilers showing up hours late or not at all several times. Holman sent a guy to meet me on the last day to make sure I was happy. He told me they'd fired the tile guy, John M, because of all the problems. I hate to see anybody fired, but that guy really wasn't supervising his people properly. John M also kept a copy of my key and hasn't given it back despite being asked at least 7 times by me and by the Holman people. This is an outstanding issue. On the plus side, the company ended up billing me the original fee and didn't tack on the extra tile charge, so I figure that makes up for the extra money I gave their handyman. All in all, I appreciated Holman's willingness to stand behind their work and make everything right, but I think they need better subcontractors if they want to be successful in the remodeling business. I recommend them, but only if you can personally stay on top of the job as it's going on. Also, make sure everything is put into the bid, if you want a turnkey project. I got some pushback about fixing the drywall at first, because technically it wasn't listed on their bid."
"The work done looks to be a good job, though the plastic housing around the water outlets and washer drain melted some from the pipe welding of the lower section before he could thread a spigot on the pipe. Also, good clean-up from the drywall dust. He showed up at the later end of the scheduled time but then this was the last call of the workday and we all know there are typical delays. I presented the $40 A.L. coupon and got no argument at all about redeeming it when paying the bill."
A bit of water in the bowl can help unclog a toilet, especially if you're using a plunger. However, if the bowl is full to the brim, you'll need to strap on gloves and remove some of the wastewater in a cup or container so it doesn't overflow when you try to unblock the pipe. If you're concerned about it filling further, manually close the flapper in the toilet tank or turn off the water supply to the toilet.
You can unclog a double kitchen sink by plunging the side with the garbage disposal. Cover the drain hole on the other side first to avoid creating a mess. Plunge up and down until the water starts to drain. You can also pour in baking soda and vinegar to try and dissolve a clog.
If you’re not using a septic system, problems with your home’s plumbing won’t cause this—it’s a city problem. A large blockage in the municipal sewage lines may cause those lines to back up into your home. This is extremely unpleasant and can be a serious health risk due to bacteria and other contaminants. If this occurs, call a pro (or your city) immediately.
Anything from debris, rust, ice, and even poor installation can cause clogs in your plumbing vents. Some signs of a clog include slow drains, gurgling sounds in drains and toilets, and bad odors. The bad odors are the most concerning, as these can include methane and hydrogen sulfide. Contact a plumber to come take a look if you notice any of these signs.
No, you should not see water in a sewer cleanout. If you do, it could indicate that you have a block or leak in your main sewer line—which can cause sewage to back up inside your home and potentially flood your yard. Your best bet is to call a local sewer cleaner if you notice any water or sewage around your cleanout.
