"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 can pour bleach down the toilet as long as you dilute it since undiluted bleach can damage your toilet bowl. If you choose to use bleach to remove stains from your toilet, mix every cup of bleach with a gallon of water. You should also follow safety precautions when using bleach, like working in a well-ventilated area, wearing gloves, and never mixing it with any other cleaner.
Yes, a toilet, sink, and shower can share the same vent. This is a common installation method that can simplify plumbing and save space. However, there are important considerations. The vent and associated plumbing must be large enough to handle the demands of all fixtures without compromising the vent's effectiveness. Additionally, the toilet should always be located downstream of all other fixtures. Because requirements can vary and space might be limited, it is essential to check your local building and plumbing codes and consult with a qualified plumber to ensure the installation is done correctly.
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.
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.
Left unattended, a leaking toilet will eventually cause water damage or mold growth. If you’re a homeowner, you can file an insurance claim for water damage. However, that can be a long and tedious process; sometimes, your insurance company may not cover the damage. Therefore, it’s always best to fix any leak you notice right away if you can.
Whether or not a power-flush toilet is worth it depends on your toilet needs and your budget. If your bathroom sees a lot of use or you’re concerned about the toilet clogging, then a power-flush toilet may be the right choice. You should also check the pressure requirements to make sure your system can handle the necessary requirements.
