"The plumbing technician, Tyler Herriage, was able to arrive very quickly, inspect the damaged tile, bathroom faucets and pipes, water heater, and water meter, and determine that the water damage was not due to a leak this time. He was knowledgeable explaining the types and signs of leaks and I appreciated his honesty advising that there was not evidence a costly pressure test or camera run was needed."
"Very nice people. My bath tub wasn’t draining properly. They made it drained alot better. Will let you know upfront cost and estimate. Went the extra mile to look at my water heater too. Thanks."
"Alb's Brothers Plumbing was just GREAT. They did good work - replaced our water heater and a couple of toilet valves. They were friendly, hardworking and explained everything. Their price was more than fair. We have already asked them to do some additional work in the near future. We have passed their name along to neighbors and our two sons who will need some plumbing work completed in the near future. Alb's Brothers, in Dallas, TX, is our go-to plumbing contractor going forward. Thanks Alb's, David and Cheryl, 1/20/25"
"It was good. He was prompt and got the job done. He was clean and neat. I would use him again. He was on time and did what he said that he was going to do in a timely fashion with the least expense."
He showed up on the afternoon that we closed on house and got us hot water going. we did not have new toilets on site so we had to set those ourselves but he did a good job of getting everything ready for them.
If you need to repair part of your plumbing, it will cost an average of $330. The cost of plumbing repairs is influenced by several factors, including the type of drain and the specific repair needed.
Yes, an ambitious homeowner could decide to replace their own toilet. A person attempting to do a DIY toilet installation should keep in mind that the average toilet weighs between 100 and 120 pounds. That means that you'll need to be comfortable lifting and carrying your old toilet and replacement toilet during both phases of the project. Additionally, homeowners will need to have basic plumbing knowledge to avoid plumbing problems that could result in messy, expensive water damage in their bathrooms. Hiring a plumbing pro from the get-go can help you avoid damaging your plumbing or your new toilet.
Adding a half bathroom can be worth it for two reasons: you want to increase the livability of your home and increase its value. While a value increase is more likely for a smaller home than a larger one, smaller houses with a large number of occupants can see a drastic increase in the ease and flow of daily life with the addition of a half bathroom.
The lifespan of a toilet can vary significantly. While the porcelain body itself can last up to 50 years or more with proper care, most plumbers suggest an average functional lifespan of 10 to 25 years, and many homeowners replace their toilets after about 20 years.
A toilet's longevity is influenced by factors like maintenance quality, hard water buildup, and damage to the finish. It's also important to note that internal components have much shorter lifespans than the bowl; for example, flappers may last only a few years, while fill valves can last around 10 years.
Even if an older toilet is still functional, consider upgrading to a high-efficiency model to save on water costs.
If you notice water coming out of the bottom of your tank or the flush handle, you obviously have a leaking tank. Water on the side of the tank can indicate cracks. Other signs include the toilet running and flushing without anyone touching the handle, needing to jiggle the handle to make the water stop after flushing, or needing to hold the handle down to empty the water tank.
