"Jesse came to asses and bid the job and gave me different options. I thought my water heater was 12yrs old-13maybe, but it was over 20. More bids/estates came in much higher than theirs AND I also learned from others I could buy my own water heater and pay a plumber for insulation only. So I got a new WH and an extended warranty on it. Mother Plumber sent a Fantastic-informative-polite technician Matt to install and warranted his work. AND THEN I learned about the membership without auto renewal AND I saved even more money on that! I can tell you, you can’t beat this company in price and coverage. And i just trust them. Trust is a big issue. They make money, but they give you so much more than the others and coverage thru membership that keeps you safe year after year if you’re smart. Thanks to Mother Plumber, I feel brilliant!"
"The estimate included all the possible work, including a guess at what might be discovered once the work began. Zach Hendry did a great job on a pull and replace for the toilet. He was also able to get the bathtub drains flowing freely again."
"Excellent job by all I worked with. My wife even commented how every one from the dig crew to plumber we are very nice. I have building experience but it was nice that the first service tech walked me through the issues and even let me view everything he was viewing. Gave me three solutions and good/bad of each. When it comes to the actual work it was done exactly as discussed. No surprises and no hidden charges. Nice to work with a service provider that does what they say, no surprises, and put my yard back to original. I will definitely use them again for my plumbing needs."
"Both toilets was backed up, he drain the line from outside. Both toilets works. Works better than before. The water level is at normal, it was low in bowl. Great job!"
"Jimmy came out, checked things out, gave me an estimate. William & Chris came out & did the repairs. Would call them again. The guys were very polite & hard workers"

"Let me count the ways: If being told by Alex that he has taken another job two days BEFORE he is supposed to start at your house, because he tells you, you are not ready, even though you have over 6, 000 POUNDS of tile sitting in your garage, then Alex is your kind of installer. I had four other trades scheduled after Alex which were not happy with that stunt. As a reflection I suspect Alex probably was not finished with his previous job. If being told by Alex that he as a crew of 4 and ONLY one other guy shows up to do 80% of the work, then Alex is your kind of installer. Alex spends a lot of time outside on the phone, smoking, or just sitting in the shade. On the job site he calls his position, “setter” or did he say “sitter”. I am not sure now. If being told by Alex during the bidding process that it would take about 7 working days and it takes 23 working days (they only worked 4-5 hours per day), then Alex is your kind of installer. I was told by Alex that his helper did not want to be caught in traffic going home so a majority of the time both were gone by 2:30. If being told by Alex during the bidding process that he would undercut the baseboards and put the tile under the baseboard BUT wind up having an argument on the first day because he now says that the BEST way is to just lay the tile next to the baseboard, then Alex is your kind of installer. I insisted he undercut the base board. He was just trying to cut his labor costs. If being told by Alex that he would do all the demolition the first three days and it’s not 100% demolished until the 21 day then Alex is your kind of installer. My wife and I with 2 dogs stayed in a hotel the first 4 days just so we did not have to live with the demolition of existing tile. We were shocked when we got back to see that the demolition was not 100% finished. If being told by Alex he can handle the installation of the shower base tiles BUT wind up getting a refund because he did not know how to install several angle tile cuts (see photo), then Alex is your kind of installer. If being told by Alex not to worry about tile haze BUT wind up getting a refund because of the tile haze is still on about 800 SF of tile, then Alex is your kind of installer. I now have to hire a professional tile cleaner at a cost of about $550. If Alex says he “knows a plumber” that can remove and install a bathtub RUN IN THE OTHER WAY. It cost me an additional $1,000 to correct that issue. I blame myself for hiring those guys Alex called plumbers. If setting ground rules about NOT smoking in or near the garage because your wife has allergies and he at times ignores that request then he is your kind of installer. If on the LAST DAY they install a toilet and you find out later that night the water was turn OFF to the toilet, then call a plumber because as I JUST found out this morning, the toilet was not installed correctly and I have water all over my bathroom floor."
You’ll likely pay between $300 and $450 to unclog your toilet with Roto-Rooter. However, the price could change depending on if the clog has caused a lot of damage, which your plumbing pro will want to inspect during your service appointment. Keep in mind that you won’t get a quote from Roto-Rooter over the phone. They have to send a pro out for an in-person cost estimate. You can also attempt to snake your own clog for a lot less, and simple drain snakes cost no more than $50.
If you know the job is going to be extensive (and you don’t like surprises), hiring a Roto-Rooter specialist may make sense for you. You’ll know how much you’re going to pay right away.
That said, hiring the best plumber isn’t solely about price. If you've worked with a plumber you trust before or have a list of plumbing services you need tackled at your home, working with a plumber might be a better choice for you.
Common problems include leaks, clogs, and low water pressure. Regular maintenance prevents major disruptions.
The cost to install a new toilet typically runs from $225 to $530. This doesn’t include the price of the toilet itself, which can cost $90 to $1,500 depending on the model and features you choose. You can save money if you choose to install a toilet yourself. However, you might want to hire a pro for this project.
"Due to the many complexities of replacing a toilet flange, it is typically a job best left to the pros," says Jeff Botelho, Angi Expert Review Board member and plumber. "Many times it isn't as simple and straightforward as 'pop off the old one and pop on a new one' because the flange is either glued on (PVC/ABS), soldered on (brass/copper), or caulked in place with a lead & oakum joint (cast iron) and none of these things can be easily reversed without years of training and repetitive practice."
Silicone-based caulk is known for its waterproofing qualities, so it’s the best option for any bathroom area. While it’s often more expensive, it will provide a better, longer-lasting seal than acrylic or latex caulk. Use it along the base of the toilet to prevent leaks and keep the area clean and protected.
